  • Yep, net carbs. But pay attention to how it makes you feel. If it doesn't stall your weight loss, great! If it does, might just want to try some Cellucor instead. ( 1-3 net carbs per scoop, and they come in a bunch of different flavors. -Since you're doing shakes. ) http://www.cellucor.com/products/21-whey I'm in ketosis…
  • Time to start building that muscle~! :) ( Which will make you look leaner overall, ( If that's what you're going for, it can also be used to bulk up and gain muscle definition, ooh baby lol ), but give you the strength for daily activities / emergency situations. :) ) http://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains Also, I'd like to…
  • Also, here's the Keto Calculator: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ Once you're low-carb (under 20g per day) and in ketosis, the weight loss doesn't stop until you raise your carbs again in order to maintain your weight. (Or you make the decision to eat carbohydrates, and are booted out of ketosis.) You WILL drop below…
  • Depends on if you're doing it for fat loss or fat loss + muscle gain. For fat loss: http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq For fat loss + muscle gain: http://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains/wiki/index The differences between SKD (standard ketogenic diet) TKD (targeted ketogenic diet) and CKD (cyclical ketogenic diet) can be…
  • Definitely water. Get on keto for the next two or three days, and you'll pee it out, no sweat. ( A month to lose only 5 pounds sounds way off to me. That only takes a week to two weeks max. ) If you have 46 lbs to lose like the other poster said, you should hit your goal in 4-5 months (ish, it'll slow down a little as you…
  • Mmm coffee. Black coffee blended with some coconut oil, butter, and a few tablespoons of Heavy Whipping Cream. Weight loss fuel. :D
  • r/keto This. A million times this. Drop a bunch of holy-****-I-lost-a-crapload-of-weight-eating-bacon poundage, and make that exercise easier on yourself. :) You can do it. With Keto, the weight just keeps dropping until you hit your goal weight. It gets slower the closer you are, but at your current weight you will see…
  • Can confirm. Eat more fat. Check out Keto, http://www.reddit.com/r/keto http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq
  • Pork rinds. :3 Although regular salsa is too carby for me unless it's a special occasion, or I can make it myself. I crave the verde, or Taco-Bell brand 0-1 carb knock-off. :)

  • They're these sugar-free treats made almost completely from various forms of fat. One or two can keep a person full / satiated for hours. I mentioned them as a meal replacement, since they're fairly high-calorie, and treating them as snacks could be detrimental. Here's just one of the many recipes out there for these…
  • Also correct. Moderation is key. I should have been more clear. Less of those foods, unless you're planning on going full Keto or Paleo or some other such lifestyle change. Less processed foods, more whole foods, more full-fat items, watch those calories, and lots and LOTS of water~!
  • You're correct. Both do. Still have to watch the calories!
  • Add more fat. It'll keep you full much longer than carbs will. ( Stay away from rice, pasta, bread, cereal, and sugar. =These all turn to various forms of sugar and cause an insulin release which triggers fat storage. ) Good fats: Butter (not margerine), avocado, bacon, coconut oil, peanut butter, almond butter, macadamia…

  • Maybe try staying below 20g of carbs per day. A lot of plain meats, veggies with butter, cheeses, bacon, broth, and stay away from sauces, fruits, and grains. If you're only a little bit away from your goal, it's bound to be slower going than the rest of time that you were in nutritional ketosis. Aspartame stalls me, so it…
  • Super Shred, or Shred: The Revolutionary Diet. Super Shred = 20 lbs in 4 weeks. Shred = 20 lbs in 6 weeks. Although the goal of the diet is really to develop healthy eating habits. You won't know how many calories you're eating (except for putting them in here at MFP). It tells you exactly what to eat, exactly what…
  • Yes, you can. You're gorgeous. You know that feeling of not knowing how beautiful you were before having children? Well, embrace your new body the way it is now. With more children, come more stretch marks. That will never change, barring plastic surgery. I'd suggest checking out Jade Beall's "Beautiful Body Project". The…
  • Haha, I used to say that it was "cursed". So I never used to mention it. But after my daughter was born, I realized how special birthdays are. I don't want my Mom to see me holed away on the day she gave birth to me, because I was her rainbow baby. I was her special gift after losing my two older sisters and my older…
  • Chewing gum is a great idea~! :D Also: Keep a teaspoon near you (of the measuring variety), and use that instead of your fingers to taste as you cook. If it's a sauce, just dip the back of the spoon in and taste off of the bottom. At least that way, you know exactly how much you've tasted while cooking. And it'll keep you…
