I need to get motivated to stop gaining muscle... back to keto. help! current weight 118 goal weight 116 04/01: 04/07: 04/14: 04/21: 04/28: 04/30:

I just dropped noom. Hugs. Have you found a motivating hobby to help? I'm trying to force myself to walk instead of eat. Sigh.

low potassium readings may be an adrenal fatigue symptom. THe hormones that regulate electrolytes may be off. See an endo for bloodwork. Especially your progesterone to estrogen ratio!

have you had your thyroid and pitutitary function checked? you can always try some adrenal and thyroid / pitutiary bovine glandulars to see if that helps. That's a last case senario.

was keto for over 3 years and was at 12% body fat until some surgeries. I'd love to get back into it... dang it, my weakness is ice cream! Two years later... I want my lower abs back. here we go

high fat, high fiber works best for me. Butter, coconut milk, goat milk, coconut cream, oils, seafoods with herbs and veggies.... also, read this for thought, though I'm sure you're aware, the article explains the addiction of carbs really well and why we need fat: http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/the-whole-grain-lie/

I'll be open to friends. Low carb since 2002. Upped my carbs in the past 11 months and felt horrid. Dropping back down now and hoping to feel better soon. It's not worth getting off the high fat, high fiber diet.! fyi, I think I have a GABA problem. Fatigue is intense when I eat carbs, but non existent when I'm high fat.…

the number one reason to carb cycle is because you are so depleted of glycogen in your muscles, you become stringy. adding a high-carb meal day or two can help improve your glycogen stores and strength for heavy exercise days as well as give you a more plump appearance, but adding creatine to your diet should be your first…

Cupping massage is the best. 10 min. A day in each area and in a few weeks you tighten up and reduce cellulite. I purchased a set of two clear cups for $6 off Amazon.

things to consider: Toning muscle with resistance training is the quickest way to shrink your muscles and lose inches. Good job. Keep that up. Some exercises can "pump" your muscles so make a note to yourself on what exercises slim you and what exercises pump your muscles up. The pump muscle will be smooth. The slim muscle…

I think it just shows how humans self medicate their depressions and reduced dopamine / seratonin levels with food. Many studies show that food addictions are prevalent in humans, monkeys, rats, cats who are unhappy.

I think the article is describing appetite, not hunger. Hunger is a state the body becomes as a response to a lack of nutrients. Appetite is a psychological response and is triggered by the will. you are hungry but you can not are appetite.

I am too fit to quit! @coachteresacpt

hi, I'm a former elite gymnast and an advanced certified personal trainer. Here's my expert advice to you: You mentioned that your doctor gave you progesterone. Weird because progesterone will shrink your ovaries and prevent you from having your period. Some causes for not having your cycle: ovaries not cycling estrogen…

hi, I'm 1.5 wks out from my S. H. abdominal bikini cut incision. I'm an advanced CPT, feel free to fr me, but be sure to introduce yourself with a message or I will delete the request. Also, eliminate all breads, cakes, pastas, potatoes, cereals and starches from your diet. The water weight gain from eating such foods is…

notsoperfect, hope you are doing good, and I'm wondering if you've had your surgery? I'm 1.5 wks out from my bikini cut H and can't wait to get back into exercising. Dr. said I have to wait 2 weeks before walking, then 6 wks before attempting to slowly and very softly get back into exercise with resistance. The typical…

exercising daily and making it fun. and eating healthy, no processed foods.

greens, veggies, mushrooms, nuts. fermented dairy. what's not to get?

cupping is a Chinese method of damaging the skin collagen and bringing blood to the surface. Hot ceramic cups are placed on the body. As they cool they vacuum up blood and lymph to the surface. When the cup is removed, a huge blood blister like bruise is left behind and takes a week or two to disappear. Some people love…

I agree with cable kick backs! And super set that glute workout for sure. I never do leg day on glute day. For booty training I focus only on the glutes/lower body, and inner legs. It takes too much time and focus for me to do anything else. I focus on exercises to keep my booty round, I focus on preventing box butt! I…

Andrea, sounds like you need to reprogram yourself about exercise and body image. Instead of going to a gym, why not find a fun activity that makes you feel great about yourself?

yes. I love doing back squats with heavy weight. It makes my bum very tiny and tones my legs completely. I have to make sure to turn out my knees alot to keep from getting a masculine butt! That's the only down side. It works the legs so much!

gianna, great job reviving a post from last year. The op obviously has not tried going to a hormone specialist (doctor), and would rather complain online.

hi 100daystoget... do you have questions? Not everyone swells up when they lift, and if you are on a certain eating/lifting plan your legs will tone up and reduce size. Cardio will burn muscle if you do enough of it, thus, all the advice to start running. Nothing like looking like a waif, something marathon runners swear…

I'll keep posting pictures if you guys vote, as well as the work in progress pics of me in my bra and undies :)

increase carbs/calories slowwwwwwly! track progress weekly.

keep up your supplements!!! I hope you do great at worlds in a few weeks. You can overload most of your B vitamins you know? That will help you quite a bit for power and recovery.

hi everyone. I'm in austin tx and a member at a strength club where the head coach is a member of the American KB team. She's not headed to Germany this year though. I have been an off/on again kb user, but can't quite say I'm an enthusiast. Swinging if fine, but overhead presses and long sets kick my butt and leave a dent…
