  • 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

  • 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

  • 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…
