Yes. Because rhabdo is exclusive to crossfit.

Sodium. Go drink a cup of broth. From "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" Low carb diets are natriuretic - they make the kidneys dump sodium. Sodium deficiency can cause headache, dizziness and fatigue. With continued low carb intake and sodium restriction, at some point your kidneys start to excrete potassium…

Yes, you should re - run your numbers. Personally, I like to re-adjust every 5-10 pounds that I lose. The keto calculator is an excellent tool to help identify what to adjust. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

Leg cramps could tie back to sodium, potassium, or magnesium. You should be supplementing all 3.

Add fiber as one of your macronutrients to track. Then subtract.

I've been low carb / keto since Sept 2012. There are some great low carb and keto support forums here on MFP. Keto Forum: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1143-keto Reddit Keto Forum: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1494-reddit-keto Low Carb / High Fat:…

Yep, it's electrolytes. From "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" Low carb diets are natriuretic - they make the kidneys dump sodium. Sodium deficiency can cause headache, dizziness and fatigue. With continued low carb intake and sodium restriction, at some point your kidneys start to excrete potassium in order…

You can change MFP to only show the macro nutrients that are important to you. I show Calories, Carbs, Fiber, Fat, Protein and Sodium. I don't bother with the others, they don't show up on my diary, and therefore, they don't show as being over. To change these, go to My Home > Settings > Diary Settings.

Aw shucks.... :blushing: I feel good, I eat awesome food, I don't get tired in the afternoons, I don't get these horrible cravings and feel the need to snack all the time. Honestly, I've been in a stall for the longest time. But I'm at the point that the weight loss is a secondary thing. This lifestyle is it for me. I…

Aerolatte, or immersion blender, or even a blender. I find the Aerolatte to be easiest.

Aerolatte. I actually own 3. One for work, one for home, one for travel. Just rinse it under running water after use.

I found it interesting, and some of the citations also made for good reading. The first citation in particular provided a good explanation of the laws of thermodynamics in a dietary context. Thanks for sharing.

Most of this is likely sodium deficiency. From "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" Low carb diets are natriuretic - they make the kidneys dump sodium.

Caveman Keto has a recent series on deep fat frying. You may want to check him out. Also, Mark's Daily Apple had an article on this. The health concern that was raised was concerning the oxidation that can occur in the frying process. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/can-fried-food-be-healthy/#axzz2sOEF9JDP

Take measurements too. And if you have a method available to calculate body fat %, monitor that as well (calipers, body fat calculators online that use measurements, scales, bod pod, etc).

The Sugar Free is probably ok, but in general the recommendation would be to use heavy cream in your coffee. Many folks use DaVinci or Torani syrups (the same syrups used by Starbucks and other coffee shops) for flavors. Or even flavored stevia. It's not the worst thing in the world. And the sugar free stuff is only 1…

At 1400 calories, you're likely still in a calorie deficit (unless you have a crazy low BMR), so therefore this is just being used as energy to maintain your body's basic operations. The deficit means that you also need to draw on additional energy from body's stores as well. If you aren't eating at a deficit (ala Sam…

Many low carbers are trying to get into ketosis. 100 g carbs is too high for this. So 100 g carbs is lower carb than most diets, but it would be considered relatively high carb for those doing traditional low carb diets. For reference, Atkins induction targets 20 g net carbs. Keto targets macros of 65F-30P-5C (many people…

You can chop dark chocolate into chunks. Here in the states, the best I've found is Lily's Chocolate Dark Chocolate Chips, which are sweetened with stevia and erythritol. They are sold at Whole Foods, or online from Vitacost.com. There's a recipe to make your on over at All Day I Dream About Food…

Absolutely. Shark week messes with water retention, so that would definitely impact. That said - dark purple is not necessarily a good thing. Ketostix measure the density of ketones in urine. A dark color could be because you have more ketones, or because you have less urine. Darker colors usually mean that you need to…

Yay! It is so frustrating to think of how many people have probably quit low carb because of cholesterol results that didn't fit the outdated model. It is crazy. You are on the right path!

Yes. Total Cholesterol is an outdated way of assessing risk. Here's the deal. On LC, typically triglycerides go down (they are directly tied to sugar / carbs. That's great. HDL typically goes up. HDL is typically known as "the good cholesterol". This is also good. LDL meanwhile is calculated based on your total…
