It's OK. Stop beating yourself up. Do a high intensity workout tomorrow, if you can. Also, try to eat very high fat (75%+). This will help get you back into ketosis. Then watch Fathead and remind yourself why you picked keto Inthe first place. Learn from this and move on.

I think it depends on the program you are following, and your goals. If your goal is ketosis, higher fat, more moderate protein may provide better results. The recommendation I have seen is 0.7 - 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass. For the sake of easy math, let's use the upper range of that scale, 1 gram of…

This may be related. From "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" (Phinney, Volek). On high carb diets, we tend to retain salt. On low carb, your body will begin to dump sodium to the kidneys. You need lots of water to flush this out. But the result is that you are low on sodium, a key mineral. Your body then…

60-30-10 is pretty much keto. Here's an FAQ for reference. http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq No milk - it has lactose, which is a sugar. But you can have heavy cream. I think some have yogurt. It's a bit high in carbs for me, so I don't. For fruit, berries are your main fruits. Most others have too much sugar. Veggies…

LOL - check the food notes. The wife gave late notice that TODAY is start day :-) Let's talk about fat, my friend. Fat is your friend. Fat satiates. Remove anything that says light or low fat and replace with the full fat alternative. Look for those opportunities to add fat - cook eggs in butter; add some sour ream or full…

You want to be really cautious about reducing sodium on low carb. "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" (Phinney and Volek) has some good info on sodium levels. In general though, on LC we need to supplement and not cut sodium. On low carb (even in range of 50-60 grams per day) your body will dump sodium. That's…

I agree with other posters. Something is off here. They claim 300 calories, with 16 g fat, 6 g carb, 12 g protein. Fat Calories = 16*9=144 Carb Calories = 6*4=24 Protein Calories = 12*4 = 48 Total Calories based on macro nutrients identified = 216 I wouldn't eat this. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I try to keep net carbs around 20-30 g. So.... assuming all my carbs came from sugar, I guess that could be up to 20-30 grams of sugar. But truthfully, I don't really pay attention to sugar - I focus on carbs.

From "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" (Phinney, Volek) On low carb, your body will begin to dump sodium to the kidneys. You need lots of water to flush this out. But the result is that you are low on sodium, a key mineral. Your body then turns to potassium in an effort to preserve sodium. Low sodium can…

maybe the issue is mineral deficiency? Low carbers need to supplement sodium, potassium and magnesium. Try drinking a cup of salty broth.

One of the thing that Asprey is pushing is coffee free of mycotoxins, and he's claiming his product is free of these. More info on how to select coffee that is mycotoxin free here: http://www.naturalnews.com/034063_mycotoxins_coffee.html From that article -

I think you can block her too - and you should report her as well (you've clearly expressed that you are not interested in her opinions on this, and she is continuing to harass you. She is also anti-CF, and is trolling the CF Love group). I think section 11b of the MFP guidelines is relevant, and you may want to report her…

A good article here regarding sweeteners, and impact on insulin. Bottom line is that while we call the entire class "sweeteners", in reality, individuals sweeteners are quite different from each other and they have different impact on the body. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/artificial-sweeteners-insulin/#axzz2ZsZuL0sT…

Mikko Salo is out. had to withdraw due to abdominal tear.

My husband uses them regularly without issue - usually as a pre or post workout bar.

Except that fat satiates. For those doing Low-Carb, High Fat, this is a great "proper breakfast". If you think 300 high fat calories with almost no carbs are "empty", I'm not sure you've grasped the goals that many of us doing low carb strive to. Egg whites and veggies as a "proper breakfast". That's actually kind of…

You're going to hurt your metabolism if you maintain this. Google the "Minnesota Starvation Experiment". A good summary is located here: http://eatmore2weighless.com/the-starvation-experiment/

I will pray that you get the help that you need for your unhealthy obsession.

It's called scaling. I'll agree that if your CF box and trainers don't help her scale appropriately, then she can have problems. I started CF at 230 pounds and had been sedentary. My box has a guy that went from close to 400 pounds down to 200 pounds. My husband started at 270 pounds. My box has a guy who is 71 and a woman…

That is so awesome! Congratulations to you and especially her!

I think if you are going to eat a significant amount of fruit then you may want to look at another plan rather than keto. I'd be concerned that the higher level of carbs from the fruit combined with the high fat of a ketogenic diet could slow your progress. It's not something I've done a lot of reading on though. Maybe…

I found a bottle with a built in filter. Love it! Our water at home is good, bit work isn't as nice. This definitely helps. I found it on Amazon. I think there a few options out there - mine is the brand Camelbak, and it's 750 mL. I try to drink 4-5 bottles a day. It really saves money when I travel too - hotels charge a…

Your diary is absolutely stellar! what a great job you are doing!!! Nothing stands out in terms of what you are eating. My guess is that most of this is related to water retention. Lyle McDonald has some interesting info here http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html My first suggestion is…

Now, now kids. All of us low-carbers know that there isn't one solution that fits all. A refeed is a simply a strategy that is a personal choice. Lyle McDonald talks about its psychological benefits (by giving yourself a treat, you may avoid a sense of deprivation that could lead to a binge). There is certainly the leptin…

I'm a keto girl, Typical keto is keeping macros of 65% fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbs. I see better weight loss with higher fat - 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, 5% carbs. This is high fat, low carb, moderate protein. It has similarities to Atkins, but with that greater emphasis on fat consumption. The food is awesomely…

Priority 1 is carbs. I target 20-30 net carbs, with macros of 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs. For the first several weeks, my opinion is that this is the sole focus. Do not worry about calories in the initial adjustment period. Eat when hungry, but eat low carb food. You want to get your body adjusted to Low Carb. Priority…
