Oh yeah, people definitely overreact to stalls. I personally don't worry much about a stall or try to change things up unless it lasts for about a month or longer. R/keto is definitely inundated with posts like "I HAVEN'T LOST WEIGHT IN 5 DAYS, HALP!" and too many people recommend drastic changes when they're not always…

Fair enough. I can appreciate that. Most people don't need to dwell on the numbers too much, I've just seen a fair number of r/keto posts asking about stalls when they're eating way too much protein (due to only using the percentages given by the keto calculator). I just like to remind people that percentages aren't…

I only phrased it in this way because you insinuated that the percentages are all that matters. They are a tool and sufficient for many people, but they are estimations and not absolutes. Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but that is what it sounded like you were suggesting. My post has nothing to do with the goals of…

It's not about the percentages. They are a fairly good indicator of the amounts of macronutrients that one should be eating, but hitting those percentages does not mean that you're following the "ideal" ketogenic diet.

You inspired me to try to find a pumpkin spice extract to add to baked goods so I can make something like stevia-sweetened pumpkin spice bread. I can't find anything with great reviews, though :( The pumpkin spice emulsion on Amazon has medicore reviews…

Why would you let me know that these exist? I LOVE PUMPKIN SPICE :(

I agree with the other posters. Nut flours also have a ton of calories. A lot of people don't have to worry much about calories on keto, but some do. Replacing greens with dense foods like almond-flour pizza will add a bunch of calories (unless you're going light on other foods). I really would recommend tracking for a few…
