I found that calc from off of GoKaleo and I like it. When I do running I have a hard time deciding between moderate and light exercise because of my heart rate, but overall t has worked for me.

Initially I was a little "furnacy" when starting Keto, but after a while the body gets used to the heavy foods (it's primarily fat and protein which sits heavy in the stomach and takes a while to digest). You also lose water and minerals quickly on keto, so it's important to drink enough water.

Pushups... I can do them but there's so much pressure right over my heart cavity area and neck no matter what I try, it's just so painful.

Keto is awesome, it personally works well for me. Soft hunger pangs when I have them (not the headachey, dizzying, stabbing pain when eating carbs), can go 6-8 hrs no problem, no need for a huge bag of food to transport for lunch... a tiny container for lunch/dinner and I'm set for 16+ hours. Delicious diet, too, I love my…

I do keto and plan on doing low carb/paleo-ish (not keto) for life. It works for me, going low carb helped me lean out (finally!), If you are doing keto, the flu is a bit of a drag, but after that you'll feel awesome. Overall, the calorie deficit is what makes you lose weight but switching your metabolic functions (keto…

There was a study done and the subjects' metabolisms did not slow down even after three days of fasting. Meal frequency is a good tool if you are prone to overeating or bingeing once you get hungry, or if you're trying to even out your intake (popular for weight lifters to constantly give their body nutrients to build…

There was a study done and your BMR actually increases right before your period which explains the hunger. Pair that with unusual fluxes of hormone levels and the blood loss and of course you're gonna need more food. I don't get my period anymore and I can't remember every having or succumbing to cravings at that time of…

Recommended sodium levels are double the daily value when low carb/Keto. Don't worry about salt. Jerky, veggies with hummus, mayo, 90%+ chocolate, nuts (almonds and pecans are best). To be honest, I've never heard of anyone needing a snack doing low carb (to where they are near the Keto range) so I'm at a loss. I make a…

UPDATE: Thanks for the replies. I bought a food scale and... 1) My tablespoon is correct! Tried it on peanut butter and mayo, and they were both spot on! 2) I have been underestimating my meat intake slightly. A piece of beef I guessed at 2oz was actually 11.7oz! I did remove pb from my diet and chose mayo instead. I also…
-
Ah, thanks for trying it out. I don't owns scale so I guess I'll throw out some cash real fast to get one. PB is a big source of fat for me so it'd be worthwhile. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. The bank I was using to measure chicken was supposedly taking into account post-cooking weight but apparently not. I'm glad I…

Nope... most of my intake is after 7PM and my entire life dinner has been around 7:30 or 8 Pm. I just caution not eating directly before bed if you toss and turn as it tends to upset the intestines (at least for me).
-
I take the information from the food bank on MFP, I do not control what is listed, but I can try to do another search. Thanks for the help guys, I'll keep chugging on...

- Greek yoghurt - Cheese sticks - Jerky - Make your own protein bars (or buy them but they're usually full of trash) - Nuts - Hard boiled eggs - Chicken/turkey breast

My diary code is up. Net carbs is usually 12-20 depending. I'm small so maybe staying under 10g net is the ticket. Sodium is also typically under half daily "requirement". I don't get my period anymore but I think I possibly get moodiness from hormone changes, but to be honest I have no clue. Maybe my thyroid/hormone…

I'm sorry you've been chastised like this. I'm the only clean eater in my house as well. I am still chastised by family and friends by my eating habits. One member takes it in stride very well but the others do not. I've been told that I should "just have a bite" because it "won't hurt me" or that I'll "binge eventually".…
-
Oats, whole wheat bagel, omlettes/eggs, greek yoghurt, fruit/veggies. Literally ANY food you want besides cereal... there is nobody out there saying you can't have a sandwich or chicken breast, this whole "cereal and milk" this is cultural.

I am 5'3" ,115lb female. First time I did it I didn't keto adapt fully (ate too much peanut butter), "flu" lasted about 5 days. This go around hunger and cravings are practically non-existent, food bill is cheaper, less storange taken up in my fridge, and I don't have to worry about fast food. I can go to a burger joint,…

Brownies, Chicken sandwiches, Philly cheesesteak, pizza, ice cream, Wendy's burgers... I get in aLot of pain if I eat dairy or sugary stuff so that keeps me away from a lot most of the time. But dang, chicken sandwiches and really fudgy iced brownies... I'd go crazy.
-
Anything w/out wheat or dairy. Rice, quinoa, beans, protein (tuna, salmon, chicken, beef, pork), gluten free tacos/bread, VEGGIES, soups, burgers, nuts, applesauce, the list goes on! - warm soup over bed of rice or quinoa - gluten free wrap with veggies, protein, rice and beans - burgers wrapped in lettuce - mashed sweet…

It's delicious, filling, portable and cheap. A staple in my low carb diet. I'm having a ball eating 7+ T a day if I'm hungry enough. Keeps meals simple and keeps grocery bill down too!
-
Full of sugar, not filling at all in my experience. I'd rather eat real food...
-
- People (usually visiting family) criticizing, teasing and pushing my buttons when I refuse "unhealthy" food. - Lose skin around my middle, but it certainly beats having the belly. - Worrying about eating healthy all the time. Cooking and preparation time is usually high and accessibility to healthy food is poor, although…

Eating out of boredom and sadness/depression, and we always had a good supply of sweets at home.

Your body perceives a shrinking stomach (water from meal leaving stomach, digesting) as hunger sometimes, which is why fat and protein is so important for satiation and digestion. Cortisol also plays a role in our post-breakfast hunger. So... as a high-protein/fat person that used to eat exactly what you did.... eat more…

Thanks for the replies. I knew diet/exercise schedule produces changes and such but I guess a thyroid check is due after all.

Mark's Daily Apple is a huge website chocked full of info. PaleOMG has a number of recipes too.

I've lost an average two year old!

Kyle - I've been doing it for a month, apparently your body becomes fat adapted? Protein is also able to become glucose, it's just a secondary source, I believe. I dunno, I just go on with my day and workouts and end up fine. ndj - I am already doing the -500 cal cut. I have no gym access (AKA no squats/deadlifts unless I…

Thanks for the help, guys. I've been running since December. I did a bulk in June for three weeks, helped some with lbm. My goal is to have a more defined torso to match the rest of my body. Should I start by eating my TDEE and seeing what happens? Also, is there a specific reason to increase carbs to 50% TDEE? I don't run…

If it's hard to tell, this stomach looks nearly identical to my own but mine has a little extra fat (if that's what it is) on the elevated part under the belly button. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/files/images/1103-flat-belly.jpg
