Sometimes too much protein can kick you out of keto, I don't know your exact stats so it's hard to say, but thats something to keep in mind. Also, stay SUPER hydrated. it sounds easy but you really want to make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated on keto or it can mess with your progress and general well being. I do…

In my opinion as a vegan personal trainer with a nutritional certification (I'm certainly not a dietitian) the average personal trainer has NO idea how to deal with vegans! Like none! We're like strange aliens who get get placed on Omni based macros over and over. They often forget that our whole food protein sources come…

Basically these teas are fancy laxatives, which means it will help "clean" you out but not help lose fat. Long term laxative use can wreck havoc on your system. If you have issues getting things "moving" I suggest the tea called "smooth move" its only around $6. I would not use something like that more than once a week…

Those smart scales can have a significant error rate +/- several %. while its good to see progression don't let those small changes get to you, there is no way you gained over 2lbs of fat overnight. water retention can effect the readings on these devices, so as many say...a salty dinner, or for women monthly hormonal…

I'm mostly whole food plant based and I can get almost double that without a supplement, so I wonder how varied your diet is. Do you eat meat and/or dairy? Sometimes its easier to plan a per meal protein goal so you can hit your goal, nothing is worse that needing a ton of protein at the end of the day.

Due to my work schedule and sleep needs I find that I IF 16:8 without even trying! It has helped with my hunger cues as I don't eat my first meal until I'm hungry. That being said I still have 3 meals and 2 snacks during my eating window, they are just closer together. I think it helps me feel less hungry throughout the…

Of course! For breakfast I usually rotate between a warm chia/flax pudding (reminds me of oatmeal), keto pancakes or keto "bagels" that I make, I get a lot of recipes from Meat Free Keto's page. I like a sweet breakfast but you can also do a tofu & veggie scramble, but I often have that for lunch. Lunch and dinners are…

I'm vegan and keto and I aim for 70g a day and I have no issue hitting this without shakes most days and without going over my carbs. I think many of the above comments are right, we are beat over the head that we need to eat these large amounts of protein to be healthy and its not always the case. If you really feel the…

As a plant based keto follower, I think it eliminates a lot of the cardiac concerns as there is little to no saturated fats (unless you go crazy on coconut oils). I think keto, along with plant based keto is all about looking at the big picture and making sure you are still eating a good variety of foods and paying close…

I take Zenwise pre-natal vitamins, it gives me the extra boost in the areas I need it, I also like it for the hair and nail support. I am plant based and find that a multi helps fill in any gaps I might have that day due to nutrition/food choices etc. I have had no stomach issues with these.

Totally!! I am actually vegan keto, vegan (plant based) for ethical reasons and keto for health reasons. One thing I can say is that neither of these are for what I like to call “lazy dieters” in order to ensure you hit your MICROS and eat a variety of foods you really have to plan and cook. It’s super easy to end up…

I know this was posted a while ago but I will help you out! I'm vegan keto for health and ethical reasons and I've been happy, you just cant be lazy about planning our meal prep! A day for me (keep in mind that I'm 5ft so my macros are less) Coffee with MCT oil Breakfast-Chia and flax pudding with ripple (warm) Lunch-Tofu…

I'm not sure what my frustration with having my ethical choices mocked daily have to do with "48 years of life experiences, dealing with abuse, loss, death, addiction, recovery etc" just because you feel I shouldn't care about mocking jokes doesn't negate my feelings. Just as it wouldn't make your past issues any less…

I'd have a sense of humor if I didn't hear this multiple times a day, every day. For some reason it's the only thing Omi people like to say/joke about vegans. I understand that you will not know my frustration as it is not something you have had to deal with, but take my word for it.

I have found that a combo is going to work the best and give you the relief that you need. I have severe GERD, chronic gastritis and Barrett's, I am not being dramatic when I say I can't go without my PPI and ranitidine, it's been the other thing that's allowed me to eat and feel healthy each day. I have also eliminated or…

My vegan agenda and I enjoyed the film. I do think though as with any food or health documentary you need to do your own research and as mentioned above to take some things with a grain of salt. While often shown over dramatically there were many valid and researched positions. I personally don’t think anyone who is not…

I think it’s easy to go back to "calories in, calories out" and the end all be all to weight loss and gain, but as OP states, it’s not always that simple. Background; I am a personal trainer and an amateur bodybuilder. I have been successful with IIFYM for many years and used it through off season and training. I have…

^^^ This....you dont want to compromise form in either workout, and it helps you give the best amount of effort!

I average about 400 calories burned per lifting session, so I certainly need to track this. I find I burn more calories with lifting that a lot of cardio sessions depending on my intensity (HIIT being an exception). I use my HRM during any trip to the gym, I added "lifting" to my cardio and just use that. Not logging it…
-
Thank you for the great advice and suggestions! I feel a little better now knowing so many people have been able to do this! I think lots of bagged salads, fresh fruit and veg will be the best way to go....I'm thinking some eggs as well, yum! I don't have this idea that i'll have to eat exactly as I would have at home, but…

If there is one thing to go over and not to feel bad....it's protein! The MFP amounts are just recommendations, there is always a little wiggle room! I never follow the daily goals given, I do use it to track calories and macro's. I am trying to follow the IIFYM eating plan, since I am really getting into weight lifting…

To help me, I like to plan my cheat meal ahead of time. If I know it going out to eat I check the menu to see what I will order or thing about what my meal will be. Then all week long when I think about binging or making a bad choice I think about my upcoming cheat meal and how delicious it will be and how if I have…

I feel like I am in the same boat! If I have a small apple and a half cup of blueberries (which is a staple of my daily eating) I am already over for the day! It's frustrating.
