Report her. This is harassment. The Terms of Service say that MFP can block her - but I don't know if they are just reluctant, or if they actually don't have the technology. Terms of Service: She has also violated multiple forum guidelines: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines The proper way to deal with this is…

Awesome! In general, really good. Yogurt is a YMMV item. Personally, I think it's fairly high carbs for what you get out of it. That said, it fits in your macros nicely, so no worries. Processed meats are often full of nitrates. This is another YMMV thing. A lot of low carb reports over the years that these cause stalls.…

I think the fat fast benefits are 1) if you are in a plateau, it can shake things up; and 2) if your body has been resistant in general to getting into ketosis, this can move you forward. That said, I personally go higher fat for keto (usually target 75%). So far this week, I've had 80% fat. I don't think it hurts. I have…

75-20-5 My carbs are usually over, but if it reflected net carbs, I think I'd be close.

Maybe take some benadryl? If it's a true allergic histamine reaction, I think that can help. Probably safest to see the doc!

Logical Tim. And I'm totally with you for part of what you're saying. When I eat a low carb bread, I end up comparing it to the real thing and focusing on all the ways it doesn't live up to that standard. It makes me want the real thing more, and the substitute item less. I'd much rather skip those items and instead enjoy…

The switch will absolutely result in weight gain - water weight though. Every gram of glycogen in your body acts as a little sponge, and holds onto 3-4 grams of water. Increasing carbs inevitably results in water weight gain. But it's not FAT gain. If you want your end weight to be a certain number WITH a higher carb…

I haven't decided yet. Options I've considered are Primal (not paleo - I loves me some dairy). I've also considered keto during the week, with unrestricted weekends. I thought this was a great reference: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1076521-carb-curve According to this, optimal carb levels for maintenance is 100…

It doesnt sound conostent with keto rash, Prurigo Pigmentosa. A low % of people that do keto get that - but that's usually back / chest.

What program are you following? if ketosis is your goal (ala keto, Atkins) you would not carb up. You want to maintain ketosis, and become keto-adapted, where you body starts to use ketones as an energy source. Also need to decide what's more important - workout performance, or weight loss. if you want to be more…

Dude... Buy the Fat Fast Cookbook, Much as I enjoy butter, pumpkin cheesecakes, butter roasted pecans, (and more!) are so much better. Bulletproof Coffee is another good one. Heck - my coconut custard recipe uses erythritol (which doesn't need to be counted per author of Fat Fast Cookbook) and it's 89% fat. I'm shuddering…

What is IIFYM? I get that it means "If it Fits Your Macros". I'm sensing that there's more to it though. Is it just that you are hitting the macros that you define? For example, I target 70F - 25P - 5C; for carbs that's about 20g Carb a day. As long as I am selecting items that allow me to hit those targets, am I meeting…

Nice Jenn! Silly NY state doesn't show as part of their distribution. Let us know if it's worth ordering online. Has anyone tried the Crystal Light mocktails? They have mojito, margarita and appletini. The look perfect for mixing with vodka.

Yes. If you didn't have fat with it, that could be the issue too.

Every gram of glycogen holds 3-4 grams of water. Not sure that there's any way to avoid it when you go from low low carbs, to low-moderate. Maybe try something like primal or paleo? Still fairly low carb, but a little different focus.

I feel like I've done something wrong that I haven't had vodka with club soda and some lemon / lime.

oh! Another one. Seems to happen A LOT over there, and fortunately the regulars over here don't do this. People that hijack threads to carry-on a private debate on the puplic forum that isn't related to the topic. So many people need to have the last word and be RIGHT. Let it go already.

Semi related. I downloaded an app last week: "Get Drunk Not Fat". Rates booze for amount of alcohol vs calorie content.

Well done steak? Blasphemy! There isn't enough glycogen in steak to be concerned about it. Your real issue is that excess protein converts to glucose in your body. So keep your portions reasonable. For folks striving for ketosis, this can knock them out.

I count the calories. I'm doing the bulletproof intermittent fast, so I don't count it as breaking the fast.

This one actually even applies here too... "I'm not losing anything. I don't understand it. Please help... I don't log my food". ಠ_ಠ

I half hope you changed your photo, just to make this point :-)

Oh yes... And don't forget, the "A CALORIE IS A CALORIE". Idiots. What you eat impacts your hormones, and that changes how your body stores and releases fat.

I'm 40 years old, 5'5". I target 1500 calories a day. I've lost 56 pounds since Sept, 10 2012. I do moderate exercise (Crossfit 3-5x per week), and I eat back exercise calories. I follow keto - low carb, high fat, moderate protein. I love the food that I get to eat! I've also recently added in Intermittent Fasting…

reddit has a great keto FAQ - http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq

We do these too - but bake them into little muffin cups.

You've got to decide what your goal is. If purely the number on the scale, then this may be counter-productive. Good article here- http://crossfitlowell.com/a-157lb-dissection/ Maybe a body fat goal or fitness goal should be more important than the weight on the scale.

Deviled Eggs (I use 1 TB mayo for each hard boiled egg, plus some Dijon, white vinegar, and a half pkt sweetener) Chicken Salad (I posted the recipe over on the keto forum a while back) cheese Nuts Leftovers (water LC item you had the night before) Smoked salmon rollups with cream cheese and capers check over on the…

Excess protein coverts to glucose. This will trigger an insulin response. Insulin drives cravings. My guess is that you are not in ketosis. Keto is high fat, moderate protein. The foods you are describing eating are high protein, moderate fat. Even if they are fattier cuts, you are unlikely to get sufficient fat solely…

I love myWOD. One feature I liked was the ability to transfer data between IOS devices (another app I looked at had a monthly charge for this privilege). All of the "common" workouts are preloaded. They have some travel workouts identified if you have limited access to equipment. You can also set up a feed from the…
