Whey protein works wonders for me and creatine. Makes muscle recovery quicker and you lose or at least minimize that soreness and stiffness depending on your training schedule. I supplement regularly. Casein protein at night too.

I've been in maintenance mode for almost 3 months now. Originally lost 23 pounds and now settled in and fluctuate within 4 pounds on a weekly basis based on my diet and weight training schedule. 1) My body doesnt seem to fight me and I don't see myself eating that many more calories. 2) I don't try to but usually naturally…

Doubt the protein is making you gain weight, you may be just gaining a little muscle weight. Just clean up up what you are eating if you've been slacking in the diet department. Keep tracking make sure you have a small defecit and track macronutrients and watch the carbs. If your eating too much carbs and not burning them…

Sadly never. Mind over matter though. Keep eye on the goal. Now that I'm in maintenance stage I cycle and carb refeed once a week and I enjoy my carbs for 24-36 hours once a week.

Agree with everyone else. Carbs too high obviously. Second, I would replace some of what you eat with more meat (chicken, pork, steak, or fish) Bigger portions of meat will also fill you up. And more focus on carbs than actual calories. Going over in calories not that big of deal when your in ketosis. LOW carbs 20-30 grams…

Eat away..as long as you go back to straight keto you will get back in ketosis in a few days. I cycle in and out weekly. I eat whatever I want from Friday afternoon until Saturday night. Been cycling for a month. However I am in maintenance stage and I bodybuild. I have held my weight steady. Not sure how cycling would…

I would recommend weight lifting (resistance training) for anyone wanting to lose weight. Find a sensible plan for beginners and build your way up. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/cardio-vs-weight-training http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/weight-exercises-women Burn more fat not just more calories. Good…

I did IF prior to doing keto. Havent combined the two because each worked well on its own merits. I like my breakfast so I prefer keto (cyclical) now as its just easier for me. . Was able to lose and/or maintain weight and energy levels just fine on both. I would probably combine the too if I needed to lose a lot of weight…

I eat bacon almost everyday. I need the high protein as I lift a lot of weights to build muscle. I would have to say that building muscle would probably help in losing weight more so then just doing cardio. Don't buy into myth that women will get bulky. My wife trains too and it has helped her tremendously. She also on…

Wow that does look good. Going to have to try that. Thanks for the post.

I would change macros and increase the protein and decrease the fats. Looks like body may be using the nutritional fats you are consuming as energy and not burning the fat within the body.

I never reach my fat goal. Always hard to find stuff to eat to meet that macro. Just worry about meeting my protein and carb goals daily.

It should continue as long as you have fat on your body that needs to be burned. Once you reach your goal weight you can slowly reintroduce carbs or do the cyclical or targeted keto diet where you carb up either before workouts or once or twice a week. I am currently in maintenance stage and I carb up once a week and Im…

3 jumbo scrambled eggs mixed with chorizo. and 4 strips of bacon. I have trouble too in morning with time cook it all in microwave at work. Chorizo already comes grounded up so just scramble eggs pour in chorizo. Trick to micorwaving scrambled eggs though need to stir often every five seconds or so after you see first…

I have done both. I cycle my workout plan every couple of months. What matters is the consistency. Just continue weight training. When you go heavy lower the reps. IF your lifting medium/light increase the reps. Make sure you work out all body parts. Bodybuilding.com have plenty of different plans to choose from. Just…

Increase protein and fat..leave carb low.

On keto you shouldnt take too many carbs even if weight training. You should up the protein intake (Supplement with whey protein and take creatine to help build muscle) In fact I would change your workout routine to include more weight training then cardio. Building muscle burns more then cardio throughout the day. I've…

Wife and I are on keto..you can friend us.

At minimum...whey protein and creatine to build muscle.

Supplement with whey protein and weight gainer. Get the good calories to bulk up muscle. Lift heavier weight, shorter reps. Bodubuilding.com has plenty of plans to build mass. I was very thin when I was young found it harder to put on weight then to lose.

I would suggest bodybuilding.com...a whole slew of weight lifting plans depending on your age and goals. I started of slow with light weights. I now lift 5 days a week. I mix up the routine every several weeks.

I purchased a groupon for $99 for 4 sessions of I Lipo. I dieted and worked out hard lost 18 pounds and still had stubborn love handles so I figured why not. Same cost of a typical night bar tab here in Miami. I have my last session scheduled tomorrow and I have to say it really does work. Mind you, I dieted extra (atkins…
