@ Pu-239....where do you get that information for Tr/HDL? My triglycerides are 93mg/dL, and HDL is 48 mg/dL (LDL is 103 mg/dL). Based on those numbers, I am at risk for a heart attack? All my levels otherwise are normal, or better than normal. That ratio doesnt make sense to me.

Go to the success forum. Look for "My Success on keto/high fat diet". Those are my results. I dont know what the numbers looked like before, but they are there for after. Maybe thatll help.

Calories are ALL that matter, whether you count them or not...this diet is simply a tool to overcome the odds. If I consistently track calories, I use the Mifflin St Jeor equation, with only a sedentary multiplier. I then count any strenuous activity as exercise, but it is arbitrary bc I dont really need to eat to my…

Do yourself a favor: go on a higher fat diet. You will spend less money, have less cravings, and still be eating right (with exercise). This is based on personal experience.

I eat about 5 essg a day, along with a ton of bacon and saturated fat. Lipid panel/cholesterol is perfect. I am overweight, but also very active. From a nutrition standpoint, it doesnt get much better than eggs.

All the more reason to run.

Humans will be biased to underestimating food and overestimating workout burn. The ONLY way to take bias out of the estimation is to use tools that were MADE to take bias out of the calculation

So if an alcoholic came to you and said he was addicted to alcohol, would you recommend a light beer instead of Jack? :-) PB2 has added sugar, so take it for what its worth. PB fits my macros, and I love it, so I understand your pain. I don't have an addiction to it, as I do bacon, but all the same I know. OP, ban yourself…

It is very hard for me to eat over my calorie allowance, even if I try. If you asked me to eat to and past my maintenance intake, you have to get me high first to see it happen on my diet. The spikes in my avatar are for weight gain, and those periods of weight gain were when I went off diet and didn't track calories or…

One thing my Timex HRM does for me is track my hr as it goes from elevated to resting. Soon as I hit stop, it calculates values. The faster my heart comes down to resting, the more in shape I (possibly) am. Physically speaking, the bricks/feathers thing is apples and the walk/run thing is oranges. Freefall is mainly on the…

You just being you means you already have a bias to underestimation when it comes to food intake, and overestimation when it comes to calorie burn. My suggestion....buy a food scale, weigh EVERYTHING. Get a Heart Rate Monitor. I use a Timex Zone Trainer, $70 on Amazon. I dont trust the machines (...never trust the machine…

Humans are engineered for hunter/gatherer days, where famine is common. Food for us is always 10 feet away, not somewhere in the forest and running. Unfortunately, our ingenuity has outpaced our biological evolution many times over, and now people are fat because of it. Not to mention, the.government likes to give you crap…

Dont watch tv. Dont stock food you dont want in your house Grow a backbone Eat what fills you up Maybe have a day where you work that in, or use it as energy for a workout.

To get rid of the leg fat, you gotta get moving. Yeah, you cant really decide where it comes off, but you can decide to stress the body in specific areas. If your thighs are as fat as mine were, they rub together, and that sucks. I was on the verge, and when I got to working out, they didnt rub anymore. Aside from…

Just going to play philosopher here....finding out what one wants to eat for the rest of their life cab only be determined by eating those specific diets/foods. Being on a ketogenic diet, there is limited options, and if everyone ate like I eat for the rest of their lives, the economy would collapse. Is this a diet that I…

White popcorn out of bulk bin, popped in olive oil, and drizzled with tons of melted real butter, and some salt for kick. If I feel daring, I sprinkle some garlic powder.

OP, im not vegan, and I dont really care. You just got a kickin body and I thought I would say so.

This is still going? I say just dont be a wimp and eat the dang cheerios. If you have to mask the flavor of the food, why eat the dang food?!?!

I use hwc in coffee to delay my first meal. If I have coffee at 07:00, I usually won't eat until after noon, sometimes not until 14:00 or 15:00.

I agree. Personally, the only time I like coconut oil is during sex, but as part of a meal, it is disgusting. I dont know why that is... Its about personal preference when it comes to taste and texture. Coconut oil is one of the most healthy oils there is (saturated), so from a health standpoint, it is good. Two other…

Low fat raw vegan....thats stricter than keto. I am just curious about this one. Bumping for perspective (I eat dead cows :) ).

When the health nuts are using calculators on a fast food giant's website...there are huge problems in this country. Just saying.

Carbs and sugar do not directly make one fat. Rather, it is the nature of the carbs and sugar to process through the body quickly. This creates hunger, and a constant challenge to not overindulge. I say that if you feel good and are progressing, "don't fix what ain't broke"

How bout you be making the dinners, eh? Maybe it is just sympathy gains: she is fatting up because of the baby and the excess food. Women are more sensitive to weight, so if you want to lose, just man up. Maybe ask the wife what she thinks. If you dont think losing will help her, then just do what you can to maintain, and…

Hey lemur...bout to have some fun with the keto diet...want to be friends? I would like to learn/share knowledge...

Get a heart rate monitor. That way, you can just make up an exercise, know the caloric burn of those exercises, and the system will store it and establish an algorithm of calories burned per set of minutes, which is based on average input.

I got sweaty. I weighed 206 this morning after coffee and a couple bm's. I spent the latter part of last week and all weekend eating nutritious but plentiful food. Some times, I ate til my stomach lining was stretched. All I did was start my diet again on Monday, went out in the beautiful 90 degree sunshine, and sweated it…

Keep in mind, the HRM usually measures total calorie burn. If you are doing a light workout, such as a long walk, you must also subtract what the you in a different universe would have burned anyways just by sitting on the couch: (HRM #s) - (BMR for that timeframe) = (True Calorie Burn) This is only a huge factor in…

33-36 bpm must be sleeping? I know there are a few studies on bears, and their energy output drops by more than half while hibernating. maybe that is the case with delta sleep? as for me, my resting is a beat per second, and my max that almost has me passing out is 192 bpm, as measured by my Timex Zone Trainer hrm. I am…

I don't take powdered fiber supplements. I watched too much Price is Right as a kid (I was a homebody), so every time I think of Metamucil, I think of old people. Hence, taking metamucil would make me feel old...
