What do you find confusing. Keep you carbs below 30 grams to start.

I am more ketovore than keto at this point. It has and continues to be a way of eating that works for me. There are two groups here, the low carb group is more active than the keto one. I encourage you to join them, especially the low carb group.

If you don't eat carbs your body will make its own from protein through gluconeogenesis. There are many people who eat zero carbs, and have no ill effects from it.

People have basically already said what I was going to say. Basically, you have a huge amount of exercises, many of which become redundant and likely will lead to overworking you muscles. If you put this together based on say a pro-bodybuilder's routine, realize the only reason they can do that sort of volume is because…

Not a whole lot of information to go on, so here is my general suggestions. First, start a good progressive lifting programs that focuses on compound lifts like Stronglifts 5x5. Second, eat at a good calorie surplus focusing on getting lots of protein ideally from animal sources like meat and eggs.

If you are willing to eat meat, add that to your diet. It will not only provide protein, but the protein is far more complete and bio-available than protein from plants.

There are a rather large number of people out there who do find plants cause inflammation for them. All it takes in spending some time in the carnivore circles to find that out. I can't think of many, or any at the moment, who say it is the carbs that do so. I am sure there are some. The ones I have read and watched would…

Even though the calories will be high, I log the raw weight since the sheer amount of fiddling with numbers to account for the fat drained off and the water evaporated isn't worth the hassle to me. I would rather error on the high side with my logging numbers than think I was right on and be massively under recording what…

I eat more ketovore lately, but switched to Keto in late April last year. It was the best decision I have ever made in terms of eating. I fully realize it doesn't fit with everyone, but the overall benefits beyond weight loss such as normalizing my blood sugar (HbA1C), reducing joint pain, removing brain fog, tooth…

You weigh the food item, find the appropriate entry in the food database that has grams as an option, and enter the weight and log that item. Repeat for the other foods you are eating. The amount of calories per gram will vary depending on the food.

I am not a nutitionist/dietitian or anything like that. When I received a pre-diabetic HbA1C I went Keto and within months my HbA1C was normal. I happened to have a glucose meter and my blood sugars when to a normal range in a matter of days even post meal. Not really a surprise since I don't generally eat more than 20…

Goal for the month: 1) Lose 2 pounds. 2) Stick with exercise program. 3) Fast 24-48 hours twice in the month. I have gotten out of the practice of fasting other than in terms of time restricted eating. It was helpful to me in terms of increasing focus, and reminding me that what I easily thing is hunger is actually just…

57 and lost 89 pounds over the past year and now at a "normal" weight based on BMI. Things that could be issues are not logging calories accurately enough due to not measuring well, using inaccurate database entries, or not logging everything you eat and drink. If your logging is accurate, you may have your weight loss…

I am in. I will set my goals after Easter is done.

I was going to post this yesterday as that is where I am ending my March because I knew for the Easter weekend I would be eating off plan and over calories. My end weight was 173.8 pounds, officially no longer overweight. Yes, I know based on my last several months that my weight will likely bounce around in about a…

How long has your weight stayed the same? For a male 1300 calories a day is below the recommended minimum to get sufficient nutrition of 1500. My guess, if you have been stuck at this weight more than 3 weeks, is that your logging needs to be tightened up. Are you using a scale to weigh your food? Are you verifying that…

I hope the surgery is successful. Get well soon.

The month is winding down, and while is had some success in terms of sticking with the Keto way of eating, consistently exercising, and staying within my calories except for a handful of days, the one thing that didn't proceed as I was hoping was weight loss. On the positive side the weight range my weight bounces up and…

I rarely see people who have been active here for a long time, not to mention been successful in that time, that advocate for calories not being important at all. That is usually reserved for those who have less experience and are often just repeating what some influencer stated. For weight loss, calories are vitally…

In short, no. Frankly, 100 grams overnight is not something you should even be concerned about. Weight will naturally fluctuate by 400 to 1000 grams as a normal thing. That 100 grams could be water, could be food in your digestive track, could be the error amount of the scale as I doubt it is a precise or consistent as you…

Not a good Sunday for eating or weekend for working out. I didn't sleep well Friday to Saturday so I put my workout back to Sunday since I didn't want to injure myself simply because I was too tired. Sunday, I had more energy, but no motivation, so the workout didn't happen. What did happen, is even though I ate Keto, I…

Eating Keto dropped my triglycerides majorly.

I would agree that a trainer is a good idea as you want to make sure you are doing the exercises with the correct form. Many gyms have trainers on staff, so you might want to ask at the gym you go to.

I am at the age where I tweaked my back drying off after a shower, not to mention occasionally sleeping wrong. The struggle is real. :-D

There was a time when I would have agreed with you. I no longer do on the bolded part. Frankly, going Keto I ate far more veggies than I did when I was simply counting calories which I had done both the first time I lost a lot of weight back in 2010, and for 2 plus months before I went Keto for health reasons. I never…

This one is more active than the Keto group. I especially recommend the monthly challenge posts such as Mindfulness March (I think that is the title). Also, remember to bookmark posts with the little tab to the right the thread title or you will not be notified that there are new posts on it. Another thing to change is in…

The whole "will power" discussion is interesting. There is an aspect of needing will power to adhere to a calorie deficit. However, when dealing with food and ways of eating, will power seems only to be a part of the equation. Food is associated with so many other things beyond simple nutrition. There are social,…

Welcome to the group. I have been doing Keto, now more Ketovore, for almost a year. It works well for me, and is a way of eating that I enjoy.

I had a successful 3 days away. I basically ate carnivore the whole time since the breakfast included at the hotel we stayed at always had some combination of bacon, pork sausage, turkey sausage, and hard boiled eggs. I could fill up in the morning, and I wouldn't be hungry until the end of the day. Progress this month is…

I am. The Low Carb group seems to have more activity though.
