Brain Fog
Well, at least I can rule out gluten or other carb sources as being the cause of the brain fog I've been experiencing for years. Keto has not helped that one bit. Anyone else experience this? I'm just groggy, forgetful, lacking focus. It's like that just woke up feeling, but lasts all day long, even after a double…

Protein, Macro Targets, & Ketosis
I'm sure it's been asked before so my apologies... probably a silly question. I've read up a fair bit on keto dieting and have not really seen a direct answer to this. Can one go high protein, low carb, and low to moderate fat and remain in fat adapted ketosis? I'm thinking of macros around 50/5/45 (protein/carbs/fat)

Where to get GF Butter & MCT Oil in Canada without breaking the bank
I'm wondering if there are any fellow Canadians here who found an affordable supplier for the grass fed butter and/or MCT oil. I tried keto coffee a couple times, didn't do much for me, but I like adding MCT oil to my protein shakes. The problem is I'm paying like CA$8 for a 250 ml bottle from local stores, those that even…

Anyone Doing CKD Care To Share Some Thoughts & Tips?
I am on week 8 of keto, went 3 weeks before superbowl (my 1st allowed cheat day), and since then I've been trying to limit carb refeeds to once every 2 weeks. So I guess this qualifies as cyclical keto diet. I would love to go 6 days on 1 day off, but I can't see that being worth the readjustment period. On the two cheat…

Hurt lower back bench pressing
I vary between bench pressing with feet up and feet on the floor. I'm an older guy (50) and short (not easy to plant feet flatly on the ground) with arthritis in my SI joint and a history of back pain. Spasms. Sciatica. When I plant my feet my back arches and doesn't feel comfortable. But I see the legs up method dissed by…

Yet Another Macros Question
I tried searching but I couldn't find anything worded quite the way I wanted, so sorry because I'm sure questions like this get asked all the time here. I'm male, smallish @ 155lbs, inactive day job and not the sporty type, but I've become a weightlifting enthusiast over the last 2 - 3 years. I started keto to challenge…

Keto Flu?
Hi. I'm new here. Male 5,6" started at about 158, now at about 154 lbs. Weight training 3 days per week. On keto to lose some belly fat, but hoping to keep muscle loss to a minimum. I am on week 3 at a 70/25/5 macro ratio. I have had "the runs" daily for pretty much the whole time, or at least since day 3 or so. It seems…

Cyclical Keto Diet - Modified
Sorry long post. I'm on my 3rd week of the standard keto diet (70/25/5) and MFP put me at 1500 daily calorie target. I am male, short, but had bulked up significantly through weight training to reach about 165 lbs at the high point. Along with that bulk came a fair amount of fat, around the midsection of course, which is…
