even longer than my nails!

Spend time with friends that can support you. get rid of everything that reminds you of them too.

I never thought that it

The theme to Master and Commander..... Its the salt water in my blood.

I have the same problem when I have big calorie days. When mountain biking for 4-6 hours I increase my intake of fats and with that the totals at the botom of the food diary automaticallly tell me I need more carbs, so it always looks like I've under eaten carbies for the day with aa green number that i haven't eaten. But…

I expect that since you where only out of keto a short time your body probably didn't get much chance to un adapt? so would think it must be easier to go back to fat burning mode.

I cycled across europe this summer.... came back just as fat (200lb 5'3'')as I went! I agree its the carbs... through portugal and Spain I actually lost a bit round my middle. In France I succumbed to Carbs for every meal and paid the price. I am definitely fitter and now have just gone on a Keto low carb diet a couple of…

Try an orgainic wine without sulphates. I drink red wine and have been keeping in ketosis still.

Hi I started my Keto journey this week too... I'd like to know how you're doing.

I read Dr Phinneys book The Art and science of Low Carb diet for athletes last week..... I've lost 6lb since! I did what he said and raised my fat intake and cut my protein intake, it worked a treat. I feel awsome!! I finally know why people go for this Keto diet stuff. I have riden my mountain bike for 4 straight days,…

I realised that I wasnt eating enough fat and too many grams of protein. I've cut my carbs from 50g to 30g and reduced my proteins to 0.6g per lb of lean mass.... the…

I've finally got into ketosis( after 2 years of trying) a week ago and having struggled on low carb diets before because of the urge for a cheese onion and mayo sandwich in the evening, it seems that now I'm humming along in ketosis I can do without it all. Went to coffee with a friend and watched him eat a scone with jam…

Putting coconut oil with it and mixing in some toasted coconut flakes with full fat greek yoghurt keeps me in ketosis, which is the point of the diet, so as long as I'm in Ketosis I don't mind the odd dairy cheat.

I get the impression that it triggers insulin release in some people and not others. Why not buy your self some KetoStix and test your urine after ingesting some? I know that urine testing isn't as accurate as blood testing but it would surely tell you if you go out of ketosis when you eat artificial sweeteners. Personally…
