I'm 56, 1.75m and 242lbs, my scales tell me my metabolic rate is 1920 calories. I'm walking, played pádel tennis today and aim to jump on a bike this week I'm retired

How would you describe your pain and where does it hurt

I'm sure you are correct, got to figure out what I can eat, how calories are in what foods and what carbs Once I've figured the food I'll restart the faster exercise

I was at a loss, no energy, in the middle of a bike ride, didn't know what else to do, never drink coke normally, don't normally have any issues but this week something isn't right, I've felt lethargic for 2 days now, couldn't sleep last night as I felt soooo hungry even though I ate at 8pm I simply don't know what's going…

The keto diet doesn't work for me I am regularly in ketosis, if I fast for 14 hours then cycle when I return I'm usually in ketosis, I try to hold ketosis for two or three days so I plan this for once every few weeks, for me it's simply having reduced carbs for those few days and exercising after every meal. But to follow…

Less than 50g However, I exercise far more than most people, at 50g I can usually stay in ketosis for 2 or 3 days, I'm vegetarian so keto really doesn't work for me, far too restrictive

Didn't know blood sugar went up after exercise, I normally only test once or twice a week, I'm a vegetarian so the keto diet doesn't really work for me, however I exercise a lot so, at the moment I'm trying to reintroduce fasted bike rides, normally I can watch my carbs, 12 hour fast for two days and I'm in ketosis (I try…

1000

Is the simple answer 1. Maintain calories at metabolic rate 2. Increase heart rate, breathing as frequently as possible. Long term improve vo² ???

I spoke with a couple of guys last night and I'll go to the meeting tomorrow but tonight I'm really struggling, I feel crap and you know "if I have a drink I won't feel crap" I think I lost 4 days so coming off, the cravings are screaming any suggestions?

AA it is, no idea where the past 4 days went, I feel destroyed, i sat wth a couple of guys from AA last night, I no longer care how religious it is "I need help" I'm going to my first meeting on Saturday

The Allen carr book is brain numbing and very boring, I read it again (you need to read every word) I didn't drink for an entire 6 days whilst visiting family "they are all drinkers" got back last night and 2 litres of lager, got up this morning feeling terrible. My punishment read the book again

Not yet, I know people that go and they've invited me, next step if I can't do it myself

Allan Carr worked for me in the past, but not this time

Is there a thread in the community for people who want to do zero alcohol? I'm borderline alcoholic

January 1611kms February 1549kms March 2204kms to date (had a 9 day cycling holiday) That's 3333 miles

Steps for me goal, at least 310,000 1/7 = 13,971 2/7 = 7,940 3/7 = 9,706

Im a vegetarian and do keto when I need to lose weight or I have a big race. Keto is perfect for ironman but not very good for shorter races. Anyways, starting keto, keep your electrolytes up because otherwise you'll feel crap for up to a week, buy a few keto bars so you have snacks available, if you eat too many carbs…

You are correct, I now know fasting isn't some some super thing that I need, without asking here I wouldn't have gained any knowledge, I also went away and read more after some of the comments. I don't need to introduce fasting, yes I'm concerned about weight gain at this moment and during the next few weeks, I started…

Thanks The morning supplements I can take with or without whey (it's cheaper with whey) I also cycle, once a week a 3hr fasted, normally 1500/2000 kms a month but I've dropped back, I started to chi and pilates twice a week and yoga daily 30min, introduced a small amount of resistance training, the cycling doesn't help…

If you are worried about early diabetes look into the keto diet

I thought fasting was some super sonic ketosis thing. I am logging today and I'll continue to log so I can check on calories. Thanks

Composition I have a couple of small fat pockets

I have a couple of pockets of fat showing thought I could use this reduced training time to mix it up and move the fat

Halfway to 2022 miles

I have a question Water I weigh 215lb = 3440ounces Therefore to drink 1/3 of bodyweight = 1150oz 1150oz = 34litres I googled this I assume I have made a mistake

Redordeadhead, no typo Sijomial, I don't log my food, my weight has been stable for a couple of years, I pop a couple of pounds on at Christmas but it comes back off in a week or so when I'm back on the bike. Lietchi, according to Strava I burn 2-4000 calories a day on the bike My food intake this morning 6 hours. Oats…
