I run fasted, could never have done it before keto but it's not a problem now to run for an hour after a 16 hour fast.

For me what helped to start with is to sub the carb with a cooked veggie, so the kids have sausage and mash I have sausage and cabbage with mayo rather than gravy. Spaghetti bolognaise, the kids have pasta I have broccoli. I have coffee with cream and sugar free syrup on occasion. Cream and berries for a desert. But…

I use a TDEE calculator and go from there. My calories are set for maintenance at goal weight and i just aim to get under.

I'm in the uk, feel free to friend me and take a look at my diary

I've exercised for years but it's not until I have had a grip on my food that I've managed to lose weight. Exercise is for mental health and body positivity, I love the achievement of getting better and good functional strength. Exercise makes me hungry but it means I can eat lots and still lose weight. When I don't…

Yes! sometimes i feel a little like a super hero

No, I used to get light headed when exercising before keto but it's really helped blood sugar issues. Also, I don't get the same sort of tired anymore, it's an odd sensation and my muscles recover so much quicker now.

I run 5-12k three or four times a week, mostly fasted. I've experimented with eating breakfast before but I feel fine running fasted and enjoy a large meal when I get back.

I in no way cycle at any speed but i managed a 4.5 hours mooch fasted at the weekend, i was hungry at the end but still had energy.

1400 to 1900 20-30 net carbs losing 1.5lbs a week on that now but 26lbs in 10 weeks.

I changed from being an every morning type of girl, to every 2-3 days, if you feel fine otherwise i don't think it's anything to worry about, less fibre, less bulk.

That is fantastic, i too am new to LCHF and now wonder why i was resistant to it for so many years when it works and its so easy to stick too. I shall join you in the happy dance.

Ive just found they have youtube videos on how to make them :-)

I have recently discovered quest bars and they are killing my food budget so a way to make my own would be fabulous.

That's fabulous news, well done. I am pleased she told you to lift weights, nice functional muscle is always a good thing to have.

My husband ate toast and butter the other evening, I had to make do with slices of butter lol

I add chia seeds to my smoothies but i have found that its the coconut oil that helps in that department more than the fiber

i grate a bit to make sweet potato hash (fried in butter) with some mushrooms and eggs in the morning

Haha yes, i am making sure i shower straight away after exercise. I do think its because i pushed myself a little harder than previous weeks, less than 10net carbs and lots of cardio - i lost 4lbs in 3 days and like magic a rash appeared. Its not grown since i upped the carbs a bit so i am hopeful i can get it under…

I thought you were safe if it was under 30 calories, so i would say it was fine, give it a go and see how you feel?

I've upped my carbs and stopped IF to halt ketosis for a while, it was climbing up the back of my head in a itchy, blistering red mess. I'm going to keep carbs at 50net for a week or so and see if it gets better (already feels a bit better today) and then ease back down and see if it comes back. How long to properly fat…

Add me, I've done five weeks and down 20lbs

You can add me too if you like, 5 weeks in, not sure my food is inspiring though lol

I calorie count, i TDEE minus 20% ish, mainly because i could easily eat a block of cheese and a bag of nuts without thinking. But i do concentrate on getting my correct macro's more importantly than the calories, if i am hungry i don't worry about going over.

mmmm pork crackling, off to Morrisons

I did a whole 30 last year and the thinking behind that has really stuck with me, you can do anything for 30 days, so thats what i do, just aim for 30 days, but that could just be 7 days. If its the weekends that are breaking you, just aim to get through that one weekend without wheat/grains and the rest will follow. I…

Day three was the worse for me

Antibiotics would be a very last resort. I am just going to up my carbs to 40 net rather than the 5-10 I've been having, maybe it was a bit low as I've upped my exercise in the past week, going to take it slow and be kind on my body.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that link. Since I wrote the initial post I've been to an exercise class, come back and it's spread across my chest and down my legs. I shall look at cutting out dairy :-(
