@UncaToddly - yikes! That sounds awful. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I was still able to walk, and I would not have categorized my pain as excruciating. It's sounding more and more like something else happened. I just wish I know what I did so I can be more careful next time!

Thank you all for your input! @RowdysLady - thanks for the link. A lot of good info on there. In fact, I'm more and more convinced that it's injury and not gout; maybe just DOMS. But like @WBB55 said, the test is simple, and if it is gout they should still be able to detect it even though the swelling is now gone. I have…

I only recalculated once, after I lost 50 lbs and stalled for 3 weeks. I discovered then that my old "weight loss" calories had become my new maintenance calories, and that's why I'd quit losing. I plan on staying at the new macros as long as they still work, and go from there.

Thank you! I remember now doing them in the crock pot for 24 hrs. Thanks for the reminder! I had totally forgotten that part. Thank you all for your input!

Okay, here's my 1 year photo. Before is April 18, 2015 @ 225 lbs. After is April 17, 2016 @ 166 lbs (5' 9"). I've since taken off another 4-5 lbs, and hoping for another 10 by the end of the summer. @Phrick - your swimsuits are so cute!!

@Sunny_Bunny_ I just watched that entire video and am confused as ever as to what the biggest risk is concerning LDL. But good Lord, that man is fine. I may watch it again. For reasons.

Weird! I thought I'd noticed less hair on my arms lately, but dismissed it as just seeing things. I have definitely noticed the kp on my arms has faded though, so that's a plus. And my heels aren't as dry.
-
I tried that too once, thinking it would kill the craving. Instead it was just a mess and it tasted all wrong. Pork rinds are pretty good with guacamole, though!

Pinterest has tons of good recipes!
-
Oh, wow. I just realized I'm premenstrual. That explains EVERYTHING!! Thanks for your input though!

Okay, guys. I wasn't trying to punish myself. I love running. I'll do it regardless. I haven't in a while because of injuries. Thankfully that's behind me now. The glycogen is mainly what I was wondering about, so thank you for answering my question.
-
I did it many, many years ago. I never noticed any positive changes from it. Not like I've gotten from LCHF. It's an interesting concept, though.
-
That's a great idea! I'll have to remember that if I ever forget my lunch.
-
That sounds amazing!
-
Omg. Light bulb moment! This totally explains why I am so much hungrier now since I hit the 50 lb mark (20-ish to go). I need to up my fat intake, because I have less of it to fuel my body. Thanks for the pie chart, @wabmester! You are always so helpful.
-
I never thought of bringing those! That probably would've been better than the quest bars.
-
It must have been all the calories I burned from the nervous shaking while in line for my photo ops. Misha is so handsome in person! And Jared- holy cow. Well, see my new pic. Lol Dr gave me a thumbs up for going low carb, too.
-
Thank you @wabmester! Your explanations help this make a lot more sense and give me something else to begin to focus on as I get closer to starting maintenance.
-
@wabmester - Interesting. According to that calculator, my HR for my last couple of runs was on the high side for this. It creates an interesting dilemma. I want to continue to push myself when I run, so that I can get in better shape and hopefully one day go back to half marathons, but I also don't want to miss the peak…

How do i figure out my 70% VO2max? I guess I'm wondering if I'm working out at the right heart rate.
-
I just finished reading the study, and I agree with @Lillith32. I'd like to see what happens with the average keto-adapted person who's not an elite athlete. Would our rates of fat oxidation be similar? I sure hope so! At any rate, this fave me the push I needed to start running again, and I am finding it easier now in…
-
I saw your OP and immediately went out for a run, my first since going LCHF and losing 50 lbs. I felt the sodium depletion about a mile in. I'll definitely keep this in mind next time! Thanks for posting! I'll need to read up more on running keto now.
-
That's amazing progress in such a short time! Way to go!
-
I generally watch the grams more than anything. I make sure my protein is above the minimum that the keto calculator gave me. When I do strength training (usually a few weeks on and a few weeks off) I'll make sure I'm on the higher side of that range. I've only been watching that hard core for the last few months, though.…
-
I've done both, going back and forth over the last year, and I tend to do better when I count total carbs and keep them under 20. Otherwise for me the temptation is too great to cheat.
-
I saw that keto gnocchi recipe on pinterest and wondered if it was worth it. I'm curious too! I miss mac & cheese and this sounds like a great way to get my fix.
-
Ah! I see. I didn't know that!
-
Okay thanks guys! It hasn't made a difference so far in my weight loss, but as I get closer to goal (and I'm leaning more toward zero carb these days) I need to get more strict about it. Although the past few days I've been cooking everything in the bacon grease that's rendered off the bacon as I cook it, so that should…
-
Mmmm... I have all those ingredients but my oven's broken. :/

I never even liked steak before this WOE. Now a medium rare filet is my favorite thing!
