The goal of a keto diet is to eat clean and get into ketosis, so that your body will be using fat as fuel instead of sugar. The only way you can really be sure if you are in ketosis is to test your blood for ketones.

Wow! In 2 months!! you rocked it!

Martt, You are amazing!!

I have been 'bento-ing' for years. I have several bento boxes as well as some divided boxes I got from walmart. I usually use leftovers from dinner, which is a huge money saver, as well as keeping some foods on hand just for my bento box.

I just started the Dash diet 3 days ago It is clean eating and portion controlled. I like it because left to my own devices, I eat terribly and know that I am missing important nutrition. This forces me to make sure I am getting all the necessary food groups and a good amount of them. It can be altered to fit each calorie…

The Dash Diet has been around for awhile. It is the top rated diet and has been for several years. It was originally designed for those with hypertension, but along the way people were losing weight with it. It is a very clean diet and can be altered for calorie intake as far as servings go. I started it 3 days ago.

Between running and walking on an incline on the treadmill, I burn more calories walking on the incline.

!. Just for today I will drink 75 ounces of water. 2. Just for today I will do 60 minutes on the treadmill 3. Just for today I will listen to my body: eat when I am hungry, not out of boredom.

all I can say is that you are cute as a button! Well done!

You are amazing!!

Well, I look at this as a life style change.. in that I am cutting out artificial ingredients and eating whole foods. I have lost almost 6 pounds this week. I have greatly increased my water intake and am eating more fruits and vegetables than I have ever eaten. It's a positive change for me and as far as coffee enemas…

The diet is only meant to be followed until you lose the weight you need to and then to be uses as needed. I find it funny that people object to clean eating, increased water..cutting out sugar, wheat and caffeine. My skin has never looked better, my energy level is much greater.. I look at this as the spark to get me…

I get such a kick out of reading some of these posts... the 'experts' just fall out of the woodwork. I think, unless one has read the book and tried the diet..you speak out of ignorance. There is nothing at all wrong with a meal plan that emphasizes clean eating, increased water intake, cutting out caffeine, sugars and…

It is a huge problem. it is not wonder, do you even see kids outside anymore?? (evil video games) When I was a kid and when my children were young.. we were outside from the time we got out of school until it was dark.. We were moving: running, riding bikes etc.. We are rearing kids to sit in front of the TV and eat fast…

I am 55 years old and have been working out since October. At that time I started with Jillian's RIP and C25K. Accomplishing that gave me the incentive to start going to the gym. I have been lifting heavy for the past month and am now running 3 miles a day. I have lost 16 lbs since the beginning and would like to lose…

I have worked out with my daughter since this journey started in October. We first was working out at home and it was so nice to have a partner and someone to be accountable to and motivate each other when one didn't feel like doing it. We now go to a gym and while we do our weight training separately, we run on the…

All these 'little' steps add up to a whole lot. You keep it up, girl. You will make it!!

I know what you mean. What surprised me was doing Ripped in 30 and wearing a bodybugg and only burning about 125 calories. She was killing me!

I am so impressed. You rocked it, girl!!!

And... she obviously gave up...too bad.. but she obviously was not ready to make the commitment needed to do this.. Maybe later, Maybe when she gets tired of being overweight enough, she will try again. Good luck.

You ar stunning and an inspiration!

I find my bodybugg calculates calories burned less than MFP estimates. Since wearing it faithfully I have begun to lose more. For instance if I do 65 minutes circuit training, MFP says I burned about 568 calories but my body bugg says about 400. Big difference.
