I said I eat Ketovore. I didn't say everyone should. I said they should avoid most processed food and start cooking meals from whole ingredients. Don't put words into my mouth.

Governed? Frankly, it is not in the interest of big business to have people control their eating. The "foods" they develop are designed to be hyper-palatable and usually lack much in terms of nutrition. Now, as obesity becomes a huge problem and cost, what is the solution proposed? Not eating whole home cooked foods, but a…

Putting on fat because of not eating enough is a myth which keeps surviving for some unknown reason. Yes, eating too little is not good for you, and it will have negative effects. Losing weight is about having a moderate calorie deficit over time that forces your body to use the energy it stored as fat.

I am glad that works for you. It likely will work for others, but for myself, protein and fat fill me up and keep me full respectively. Fiber, which I used to focus on eating a lot of, really didn't help me personally. It did give me a lot of gas though.

I am cheap, and frankly, I work in a setting where I have just been waiting for my new work clothing to arrive from this years ordering. It just did, so I have new work clothing. I also have some other stuff from the thrift store now (picked up this week), so when I need to look good, I can. As for mucking around at home,…

This was a good week except for last night. For some reason I had a stomach that would not be satisfied, so I ate more than I would like. I did stay Keto, so that is a win, but the calories were really high by the end of the day. I guess the other positive is I am still feeling full this morning still even after a really…

That stinks. I hope you can find out how to get this under control.

I am still wearing mine and I am almost 90 pounds down in a year. I have started to get rid of some of them just this past week, and started to get some clothing from thrift stores as I still have some weight to lose.

You are welcome. I have been doing the whole weight loss thing for a long time. Keto has actually worked for me far better than any approach I have taken before this. I found things slowed down a lot in terms of weight loss when I got within about that range of the top end of normal by BMI. At the same time, while my…

The other counfounding issue is how much you have to lose. I lost very quickly at first when I was extremely obese. Now, for the past several months now that I am fluxuating between the bottom of overweight and the top area of proper weight, the loss is slow, but progressing. I will have weeks with no loss, then will have…

The issue is that weight loss is a horrible short term measure of progress. I say that because a whole bunch of things can keep weight stable or increase it even while fat is being burned off. In Keto, water retention is not as common, but it can happen due to various factors. Then there is the speed food goes through your…

True. They will bend over backwards for Vegans, but Keto is almost always responded to as if it is unsustainable and unhealthy. Neither are true to any greater degree than changing one's diet and losing weight is difficult for everyone.

The app doesn't include you planned exercise calories in its calorie goal calculations. That means exercise will make your deficit larger than planned. If you are morbidly obese, that likely won't make a huge difference, but if you are not, then it can result in too aggressive a calorie deficit with its negative effects.…

Two things. First, the nutritional information here is designed about the nutritional information on US packaging. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't include salt, it includes sodium. Second, if you have issues that require reducing salt, it is likely because you have issues with sodium, so reducing just salt will not…

Welcome. I am also from Ontario Canada.

Great job! Keep going. You can do this.

When you started on MyfitnessPal it would have asked you things like your sex, age, height, weight, activity level, and the amount you want to lose in a week. That you have given you a calorie goal, which I assume you have. At this point, just worry about calories. Get in that goal every day, and assuming your logging is…

Some wins this week. This morning's weigh-in put me at the lowest weight I have been in my adult life at 172.4 pounds. I successfully did a more than 24-hour fast this week (about 40 hours). Finally, a big one for me, I decided that I am tired of having clothing that is all huge on me. I hit the thrift store and got a…

Frankly, my experience is that after getting through the first two weeks of only 20 carbs a day and basically avoiding sweet things including fruit, my cravings for sweet disappeared. Making sure you are getting lots of protein and fat helps a lot. The protein fills you up, and the fat keeps you full. The problem most…

A pound of lean ground beef formed into a patty cooked the air fryer with 3 eggs usually fried and some bacon. BTW, I eat OMAD, so I am speaking of breakfast and the meal I break my fast with.

This week went well. I decided to try a chiropractor for my back issues. It seems to be helping, although most of the help is from the exercises he has me doing, but when he manipulates my back, it does loosen up what is tight.

As stated, opening your food diary would be helpful, as would more information on you current stats, you goals, and what your current calorie goal is.

I second the thrift shops idea. Affordable, and sometimes one can even find high quality designer labels for great prices. Generally, I mainly wear the clothing that is too big, but I pick up a few things so I can look more presentable in situations that call for it rather than like a child wearing their parent's clothing.

Even being sedentary, 1000-1500 calories a day for a 17 year old male who is 5'10" is far too low. I am 57 and 5'10" and even when I was spending my time sitting, eating at that level I would be losing at a fast rate. Far too fast. I would also be developing nutritional deficiencies. At 17, with a body that is still…

I have yet to see anything but epidemiological studies that point to eating meat increasing the risk of heart disease, especially when one puts that meat eating into a way of eating that is marked by nutritional ketosis which is a different metabolic functioning from a glucose based metabolism. All the studies I see are of…

I am not a doctor or a dietitian, but NAFLD is not simply caused by fat. It is likely that you are eating way my carb, especially simply sugars than you should. A low carb diet will help a great deal from what I have heard from various people who had to deal with it.

Home.

As others have said, fibre is unnecessary to regularity if fat levels are sufficient.

It was a good week in general. I exercised 5 of the last 7 days. I kept up with my lifting program. I ate Keto. The only downside was yesterday. While I ate keto, I ate WAY too much. My appetite was out of control. Today I don't seem to be hungry, so hopefully that continues. I am usually an OMAD eater, so if this…
