Wow, yeah we're in the same foxhole brother. Those blood ketone meters are pricey! A Swedish company called Ketonix just came out with an inexpensive and very accurate meter if you wanna go for that. I understand how protein can creep up!! 75g is not much for a 250# human, but it's enough to avoid going catabolic. Are you…

Well there are many people who monitor ketone presence but do not monitor calories at all, which is extremely foolish. If you want to watch a train wreck, go to reddit.com/r/keto. There are literally people bragging about losing five pounds in a calendar year while eating tubed cheese. I've been in nutritional ketosis for…

Here we go: Clonazepam for a month, nighttime only, .5mg (tiny dose) The rest you can get at a health food store. You'll need some GLA-rich oils, like Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil, that's for the slight hypertension he found in my last visit. GLA is important in the Omega-6 category because your body doesn't produce…

Got a referral for one, actually. I changed my position with a set of pillows like I was making a fort or something. Slept great! I'll still get a sleep study, but I'm waking up better than I have in months. Good runs, too. Did 6 miles like nothing, and my fastest mile was 6:44!

Hey razz, Thanks for the post. Thankfully, I have always engaged in healthy eating habits with balanced meals. My mom is a Type I diabetic so our dinners growing up were always very balanced. My job is very sedentary one, but I make up for it by eating healthy salads and lean proteins. I'm very aware that diet and not…

I'm thinking of making an appt. for that. I saw a my PCP in February about the sports injury and we joked about how some athletes will put on weight between races. I laughed but thought, ummm, yeah but that's still a TON of weight to put on in that period of time. He didn't think it was a huge deal because I was training…

Now I'm kind of upset. What MFP was preaching made sense, and also the biggest weight loss I was having was when I was exercising to a degree that would guarantee weight loss, running over 20 miles a week. I only wish I had asked this question far sooner, but I just assumed the weight would start coming off. Dead. wrong.…

I'm sure you all can imagine the level of profanity I'm engaging in verbally now. Does swearing burn calories?

Interesting. So essentially I'm damning my own weight loss? I'll admit I knew nothing about TDEE until this morning. I'm just following what MFP tells me, and I really thought starvation mode would be kicking in at below 1200, not 1500. So basically, what you guys are all telling me is, I noticed the weight gain, tried to…

@dixie, 33 year old, male, 5'9" 188 this morning but was 183 last week. Might be water retention. Thanks for the advice, I was just going with what MFP was telling me 1460/day based on the 183 weight and my activity, etc. Would I hopefully see a marked improvement if I went much higher? I've been down this road before back…

I'm averaging about 1500 calories a week, a few weeks ago I was 183 and went up this morning to 188! I'm going to run tomorrow and start my regimen again of 15 miles a week and see if that helps. Caloric Need: Estimated Base BMR: 1677 Calories. Estimated TDEE: 2012 Calories. Estimated Daily Caloric Need For Weight Loss:…
