I never had the keto flu. Of course, since it is flu season, and some nasty viruses are going around it is quite possible that you could have one of them. This is what Google gave me when I googled Keto Flu Symptoms: Keto flu is a collection of symptoms that can occur when starting a ketogenic diet. Symptoms include…

The one that you can not only stick to while losing, but that you can stick to when you are maintaining. Anything else fails from my experience. For me, that is Keto/Carnivore, and it took me a very long time to discover that.

Carnivore is far broader than that. Anything from beef, water, and salt all the way to if it come from an animal fall into that spectrum. What falls outside of carnivore is veggies and fruit, so adding spices is usually seen as dirty carnivore, as is eating fruits and veggies. As for the original poster, as I said,…

But counting just calories to start makes the process far less cumbersome. The less variables a person has to deal with while learning how to log, how to navigate the database here, and the like, the easier it is to learn those other aspects. Once they have learned how to use and navigate MFP, then fine tuning macros is…

I will let people argue the nutritional stuff. I went mainly (note not solely) carnivore because it is far more simple than keto. I do Ketovore because of blood sugar issues, and find it is a way of eating that works very well for me.

I am not a teenager or a doctor, but cutting carbs (I went keto) did wonders for my blood sugar. I went from pre-diabetic to normal in a matter of months. Stop eating processed foods, lose weight, and getting more active (even if it is just brisk walks) will help as well.

Focus on calories unless there is a specific reason you are needing to focus on macros. A calorie deficit over time will bring weight loss. Focusing on Macros without considering your calorie consumption can add additional frustration to the process.

Is he eating enough fat. It has far more affect on bowel movements than fibre does.

We would need far more information to give any sort of answer.

Meat is your friend in this. Lots of protein, and by picking fattier cuts rather than just going lean you can meet your fat goals as well. Best of all, it is zero carb.

If you are staying in your calorie limit, in my opinion, you don't need to worry about your fat intake in general. Fat doesn't make you fat unless you are in a calorie surplus.

I wish I had suggestions to help you. I have not found I get tired of meat. Perhaps starting by seasoning your meat with more than just salt. Thinks like herbs, spices, garlic, onion, and the like.

Which could be because they changed their recipe, assuming the serving size is the same.

Also realize that even on the nutrition labels the amounts are often rounded. Frankly, the margin of error ever for correct numbers is quite large, certainly larger than the number of calories you cite. Also realize that the calorie and macro amounts can vary a fair amount simply depending on the growing conditions of…

I am really not sure why people don't post. I don't even using MFP any more after the removal of the newsfeed, but I still come to post in this group. Having said that, it is really no different on MyNetDiary in terms of people posting. Groups have a lot of members, but only a couple post regularly.

Your body burns calories just existing. Your physical activity increases that calorie burn amount. The easiest way, since you are using this app, to set a calorie deficit is use the goal tool to set your weight loss goal. That will give you a calorie goal based on your daily activity level not including exercise activity…

There are so many factors when it comes to loose skin that there is not really a simple answer. Generally, loose skin will continue to tighten up for about 2 years once your weight stabilizes. It is debatable if weight training will tighten it more or faster.

If I did that I would never eat. I fast all day, and don't get home from work until 5:30 or so. By the time food is made it is usually 6:30 to 7PM. Eating that way I lost the 100 pounds I needed to, and continue to maintain. The only relevance is if eating later negatively affects your sleep.

If you want to be really frustrated, in Canada there are a whole bunch of foods that are not liquids but the serving sizes are only given in milliliters or cups. Things like canned fruits and veggies, ice cream, and the like are all serving sizes in volume measurements. It drives me crazy.

I will say what I have said numerous times. Those two days are not the issue. Assuming you can get back to eating low-carb, keto, etc the day after Christmas, eating freely for Christmas Eve/Day, while it will cause some short-term gain of weight, for you to gain fat you would need to eat far more than you likely would.…

We had a fellowship dinner at our church last night. It was a splurge meal for me, and I ate heartily of all the food there. Weight wise, it put me up about a pound and a half, likely all water weight. Ketosis wise, I was knocked out of ketosis according to my breath meter. Now to see how long it will take to get back into…

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Lo-carbers. Just a normal day here in Canada.

AnnP basically wrote what I was going to write. As a Canadian who lives near the US border, I am frequently surprised by the nutritional information differences in products that are sold in both countries. Add that this database covers basically the world, and yes, there will be differences in products even from the same…

Finished the Legs workout of my new Push, Pull, Legs workout program this morning. I am likely retaining a fair amount of water right now as I have a noticable DOMS. Ah, the joys of switching programs. Overall I like the new program. Lighter weights, more reps makes for a big change from doing 3-5 reps for 3 sets of heavy…

Great goal. You can do it.

The only reason your food would be going to fat is that you are eating too much. Fat doesn't turn into fat just because you happen to eat it. It, like other macros will be used to meet your bodies needs. Once those are met, it along with the protein and carbs, will be stored. If there is not excess, your body will pull on…

Not a great eating day yesterday. I was about 875 calories over my calorie budget. On the positive side, the macros were great, very low carb, lots of fat, and decent protein. Back to it today, although at the moment I am not hungry at all. I will see when I get hungry again since even with a calorie budget, I still only…

I can identify with that comment. That was me about 2 years back. After about 100 pounds loss, I was trying to figure out maintenance with some limited success. Then I looked at what my body looks like, and decided that I needed to go back on a small deficit to let the last of my fat slowly go, so I am not in maintenance…
