Hence the suffix "-hydrate" of carbohydrate. An evening binge of carbs for me is a negligible gain. A whole day can be a couple pounds of water and a full weekend...I've hit close to ten pounds of water. One of many reasons I try to limit splurges/cheats/refills/reward or whatever I decide to call it to a few hours once a…

Don't eat. Since you're on MFP track your food but if you're not hungry just don't eat that meal or day or whatever. Eat when you're hungry and track the food. Track but not to hit any calculated value but to get an idea how much you eat that keeps you satisfied. You may find you do not need as many calories as a…

Snarky comment to prove to you how dumb your choice is. Back-handed compliment on your choice being a good choice for you.

Why track the raw weight of meats instead of the cooked weight?

Not a nurse however I find that the most consistent and sustainable way to fit exercise in, resistance training for me, is when I do it first thing in the morning. I walk to the kitchen make my americano coffee (espress + water) take a baby aspirin and begin warming up with the bar. I'm done for the day and have no…

Its lawS of thermodynamics not law. It never fails that those who live and die by calories in/out fail point to the first law but somehow it escapes them about the second law. Our bodies are not bomb calorimeters that work with 100% efficiency. Our gender, age, fitness level, and hormones play a major part in our body…

Calorie manipulation is for those who are leptin resistant. When one is leptin sensitive calories on a ketogenic diet don't matter. Plus with the leptin reset there's built-in intermittent fasting after the first week. I'm losing bodyfat eating a 1500 calorie breakfast with another 1500 for dinner...BUT time will tell. ;)…

Leptin reset and ketogenic eating are the same, the only thing is that with the reset the protein requirement is given, 50-75g. The only thing I do is make sure that my protein intake is no more than 20% of my calorie intake. At ~65-75g that keeps me full all day and not really hungry at dinner time but I eat a little…

My wife and I are on week one of the "Leptin Rx" by Dr. Jack Kruse. The nuts & bolts are you eat a big ole breakfast (B.O.B.) and then not eat till dinner and even then it will be a small dinner. The reason why was my wife is having trouble with ketosis and she's always hungry. She fit the descriptors of leptin resistant…

You have the data of what worked. The 80/15/5 is fine if that is what works for you. As is weightloss, ketosis is individual and requires a bit of experimentation on your part. I'm undergoing a "Leptin Reset Protocol" which requires at least 50-75 grams of protein for breakfast. In order to keep my keto profile I eat…

I agree with sljohnson1207 about weighing food. I'm also one of the ones who extended the Induction phase. Well I modified it in that I am very strict Mon-Fri and then loosen things up on the weekends. I'm trying to do six of being strict but it just seems five is where I'm at. By strict I mean keeping calories low not…

Well on your way to celebrating Scottish Independence as a thinner version of you! Congrats! Keep stumbling forward!

Just a cursory look at your diary, ~ 3 days worth, I would say you do hit some pretty high numbers. This might violate MFP gospel but our bodies do not require a lot of protein especially when following a ketogenic diet. The hormonal regulation because of the increased fat has a significant muscle sparing effect. That…

Think of caloric intake in terms of weeks not days. So instead of sticking to a strict 1565/day think of more of 10955/week. Some days you eat more than 1565 other days you eat; it balances out. You could then "bank" your calories from a few days to eat more on others as in eat more on the weekends than during the week.…

Takes most people a month to almost three months to use ketones as the preferred fuel source. Turning the ketostix purple is no guarantee you are in ketosis and therefore cannot rightfully claim to be in nutritional ketosis or following a ketogenic diet. Calorie counting is a no brainer and requires little effort other…

Congrats! I started OMAD this week. I did it last year but went to visit family and got off the OMAD train after a month. Slowly but surely went right back to my old eating habits and regained all my previous weight loss ~30lbs. Recently I tried the ketogenic diet and while I loved eating the food the cravings for carbs…

This! There is no correct ratio of this or that. Just eat less, move more. If you want to lose fat eat less. If you want to transform your muscles, then lift heavy weights. It's not sexy but it works....and it'll have you looking sexy. :)

I'm glad you trust your MD and there's no need to shout. My intent is not to change your mind or anyone else's. I'm trying to find the source of this number. Would you have the studies from the NIH detailing this? I've searched and found nothing from the NIH, WHO, or anywhere else. I've found diets that use this number but…
-
Who determined this? Are there any journal articles that say this? I've been looking for where this arbitrary number came from and find it no where. I find the number to be passed along as gospel when in my ongoing search it just seems to be some number. Without taking into account the height of the woman or person for…

I would switch the Tums for Betadine HCL. Too little stomach acis has the same symptoms of too much stomach acid and most people suffer from too little stomach acid and take Tums making it worse. My wife is one. The HCL provides relief...eventually...but you have to take it long enough for your body to begin producing more…

Thank you Ladies for posting your pics. I can't even begin to imagine how much courage that takes for you and I thank you so much. I've been trying to convince my wife to begin lifting weights but she had bought into the "bulky" myth. Thanks to your pics and stories she no longer believes it and she's excited to start…

You don't really need to add ab work at least not once you're lifting some serious weight. Trust me you'll get plenty of ab training at the heavier weights. If you must then just do planks and L-sits. Abs are like any other muscle so it depends on your goals with abs. If you want core stability then daily is fine. If you…

Strange question because like you posted this site is all about tracking calories. I started my fatloss by not tracking calories. I felt better and thought I was looking better. I took measurements and weighed myself and realized I hadn't lost any weight nor inches. So I began to track calories and now I'm losing. Once I'm…

How is dietary cholesterol not a necessary nutrient if it's found in every cell membrane in the body? Are you aware that the body's synthesis of cholesterol is a very ineffective process because we have evolved or were created to eat cholesterol? Cholesterol and saturated fat are our friends not to be shunned or avoided.

Awesome job! Inspirational story!

Not sure about the depressed metabolism, I think it might have more to do with overstressing your body. Crazy idea for this place but I would recommend you drop the cardio. Do weights 2-4 times a week but stop the cardio for a while. Cardio has the ability to make one more adept at gaining weight. At the beginning any…

Well...I still say it's Framington dangit!!! lol Sorry holothuroidea but I have to agree with albertabeefy. Your posts have been confusing. Your response to me was strange, I wasn't sure if you were agreeing with the cholesterol-CVD myth or not. Framingham has made it clear that elevated cholesterol is not responsible for…
