Hello all. I'm new to keto as well, started this week. My main challange is hitting my fat macros...the only way i was able to do it is to double up my butter and mct in my coffee.

My three go to songs for when I feel like giving up: "Carry On My Wayward Son" - Kansas "I Am The Doctor" - Series 5 Doctor Who Soundtrack "Fever Dream" - 300 Motion Picture Soundtrack But listening to audiobooks is a great idea because you feel like going until the end of the chapter, but then you want to know what…

This is true for any kind of supplements and vitamins you take.

This! And if you keep your empty bottles, you can fill them up with sand (one sack is $5 at Home Depot) as you progress to make them heavier!

Co-sign! Sound like you are doing everything else right.

Maybe a can of tuna? I usually eat that with soup and some salad (no dressing or very little vinegar).

Ohhh....yes! I will be attempting this!

I believe Dean called him. Because he was very convinced that Dean was Dean and didn't want to douse him in holy water, Borax or cut his arm with silver.

I started this week too, and some of the jumps are killing me. I try as much as I can but if I'm hurting and I am, I slow down. I will repeat month one twice if I have to; you just gotta listen to your body.

^This! The only thing I will splurge on is a good pair of sneakers so my feet aren't killing me.

Thanks for the input everyone! I recently (since Sunday) started using the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner along with the oil hoping that it won't be too harsh on my hair. I will try to use either dry shampoo or baby powder on my less intense workout days. Also, I was just reading online that coconut oil…

Idk how long ago you lost your weight but doctors generally recommend maintaining your new weight for at least 2yrs for your skin to shrink back. For some people the skin goes back, and for others not so much. In regards to the stretch marks, nothing short of surgery will remove them. The lotions/oils on the market only…

Ummm, no, caffeine does not burn fat. It might give you energy to get up and get moving. Maybe this is what you mean but the way you stated it sounds like the caffeine magically makes the fat go away. For me, I find it that if I drink a cup of coffee with a tablespoon of milk will stop me from snacking on unhealthy things.

I prefer Diet Coke (or any other Diet soda) so I can eat regular cake.

P90X is supposed to be a comprehensive program. I find their cardio not to be as challenging as do many others. If you could do Ripped in 30, rather than 30DS, you will find that its like P90X but in 30mins. On the days I don't run I do the P90X strength training dvds. I did the whole program in the beginning of the year…

You are burning 1000cals a day?! How long are you working out? Also are you using a HRM to count how many calories you burn? Because if not, you aren't really burning what the machine says you are. Also eating 1200 and burning 1000, you are only netting 200cals a day and that is not healthy. More importantly, if you have…

Thanks for your comments. I had never heard of that before so I thought to ask what everyone else thought of it.

Your muscles are retaining water to repair themselves, even if you don't feel sore.

I think you mean Jillian Michaels not Jenny Craig but I would follow: 2 days of shred, 1 cardio day, 2 shred, 1 cardio, and a rest. Repeat. You C25K week doesn't have to be done Monday-Friday. I started my program on Friday, did the second day on Sunday and the third day on Wednesday. As long as you get the recommended…

Yeah, I would not recommend any type of creams for down there....

Many have suggested dry shampoo but if you can also use baby powder - same price (if not cheaper) as the dry shampoo, just more of the product.

You can get laser-ed anywhere you want. Just make sure where you go they have certified technician and they use a good quality laser (not IPL). Also be aware that not all lasers work the same for different skin types/colors. Upon application the laser should feel like someone is flicking a rubber band on your skin, and if…

I had a full year of LHR that I just finished 2 weeks ago, and not once has anyone told me to wait 24hrs. Why do you need to wait for that time? I have honestly never heard of that. You should be able to resume your regular activities, UNLESS you are getting LHR done on areas that are exposed to sunlight (like your face)…

Once you get stretch marks, nothing short of surgery (now they also offer laser treatments but idk how well that works) will get rid of them. What creams and oils do is make them turn white, as opposed that red/purple color that is noticeable. A stretch mark is scarred tissue. I'm not sure about Sweet Almond Oil but coco…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. You will need dumbbells 3-8lbs or heavier if you want. Its 30mins and its set up in a circuit: 3mins strength, 2mins cardio and 1min abs (3x) and warm up & cool down. This seems to be the go to DVD for all beginners. It will have you huffing and puffing. Edit: Forgot to mention that it has 3…

Ummm, no. That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.
