it's strange...sometimes I am amazing and I don't want it at all...I am satisfied and strong and other times (like this week) I have completely crumbled. It seems when my routine changes I'm not as good at staying on track. I need my routine. I am back on to it today though after weighing this morning :(

Good to hear as I eat a lot of avocado. I was wondering whether to cut down because the calories are high and could get more bang for my buck, so to say, eating something else. But maybe I am wrong!

I am 5'3, 25, Female. Currently at 57.9kg (128lbs). Goal weight around 51kg which I was about 18months ago. I am not too worried about the weight just trying to tone up a bit more. Feel free to add me...all the best. I know how hard it is to keep the weight off and lose the last few kgs. It is a constant battle! We can do…

Great video and so true

Did well yesterday after a bad day the day before. My husband worked very late so I went to the gym without him and didn't get to the supermarket like I normally do on a Wednesday night. I am going to go to the supermarket this morning before work to get lunch as I don't have my usual go-to's. I am glad one bad day didn't…

Sorry to hear about your accident. Injuries are very debilitating and can alter your whole mind set so it's great to see that you are so positive! I am very busy at the moment but I am trying to stay on target. I am currently sitting here marking test papers and writing reports. Not something that I want to be doing in the…

Glad your recipe turned out Linda. Might have to try it when I have the time. School holidays are coming up in 4 weeks so I'll do some experimenting. I have come out with a rash on my back the last week or so...it may be because I have had a few days of lower net carbs than usual or it could be stress related. It is itchy.…

Recipe sounds good...let me know how it goes. Yes got all my calories in..almonds were the trick! Yesterday was very busy too...was down a couple of hundreds calories but that's fine as I tend to eat a bit more over the weekend so I will bank those for this weekend. On an aside, my class did such an awesome job of their…

I had a very busy day and night yesterday...ate bacon and eggs at 6am didn't eat again until after 2pm as I didn't have a break. Then had an early tea-which was only chorizo and a snack of almonds as I needed to head back to work again. Got home at 9.30pm. Managed to get in 20 minute run which I was glad that I made happen…

I am just limiting myself to a smaller amount every second day rather than every day and only if it fits my macros. And when it runs out, I don't buy it for a week to a have a break in between. I also think that the intensity of my workouts are holding back weight loss but its tricky for me as my fitness goals and on equal…

Sounds amazing. What are your stats? -I'm 59kg, 5'3 female -been on this WOE for about 8 weeks -I lost 3kg in the first 3 weeks -then gained .5kg -I exercise 5-6 times per week-running and weight circuit. -finding it hard to shift any weight at the moment after the initial water weight loss. -want to get down to 52ish -not…

I think my culprit is Peanut Butter.... :(

I slowed my exercise down as my body was getting use to keto and I didn't have the energy during my runs. I halved my exercise and tried not to push myself too hard for a couple of weeks. I kept exercising though because I didn't want to lose routine. I am back to running, weight training and playing netball as I have been…

That sounds awesome! Good job! I am 5'3 58ish kg. Last night I ran 7km in about 33min but that's on a treadmill-I'm still getting use to the treadmill. It's a lot different than running outdoors with the ups and downs of the road which I prefer much more. Are you looking to get faster or extend your distance? I like to run…

I take a magnesium tablet every morning and I get a lot of salt from my diet as well as adding salt to my meals. I think it's just a matter of my body getting used to a change in the way its being fuelled. Hopefully it will come right soon. It's hard to suddenly go down hill with fitness when you've worked so hard to get…

pgrn1-I have also been on the keto woe for almost 4 weeks and I am still feeling foggy headed and headachey. It is not consistent during the day...either before my next meal and directly after it. I am drinking heaps of water-probably 20 something glasses per day. I am sluggish during exercise-even running for 30-40min is…

Thanks for the advice! I am a big cooker so I am usually fine with cooking every night. My husband isn't on keto and eats what he wants so I cook different veges for him for dinner and I eat leafy non-starchy ones with our protein. Its only really a problem on Friday nights when I haven't really thought about a meal for…

Thanks for the reply-you sound like you've done your research. I'm just taking it slow and not worrying too much about speed and distance-and have taken more days off. Normally run 5-6 days but now running 2-3 just while I adapt and I'm not too stressed about it because I'm not needing to eat as much due to being more…

Thanks! Will do... I have noticed being a big sluggish on my runs since starting keto...not as fast. Maybe that's just my body getting used to the change in how i'm getting energy?? Because I have heard that people PBs have improved on keto? It looks like your a runner. How do you find your energy levels on your runs?
