Doms
When will it get better? I did day two of strong lifts 5x5 on Friday morning. It's Sunday afternoon and I still can't walk properly and when my kids climb on top of me it feels like I'm being punched. I love the program but holy hell it all hurts. Mostly my quads. Is there a time when that pain will stop coming all…

Keto and carb source question
So I am on a mommy group that has a lot of keto gals on it. 1 mommy said she was going to eat a cup of popcorn for 6g of carbs and another mommy said not to as its not keto approved and could kick her out of ketosis. Which got me wondering... Purely from a ketosis point of view: Assuming carbs remain under 20 for the day…

Source of carbs in ketosis
There was a debate happening on another board and I thought it would be best to ask here: If a cup of popcorn has 6 carbs vs a protein shake with 6 carbs, does it make a difference to ketosis if you have one over the other? Does the source of carbs matter? Assume everything else the same and macros are being met.

Intermittent Fasting: help me logic this article
So I am in a discussion about IF with another group. I said with calorie deficit and macros being the same, the Intermittent faster should not lose weight faster than the rest. Then she presented this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22608008/ Now what?! Was I wrong?

Dr Sarah Hallburg: Calories in vs calories out pet peeve
I have started watching a few of Dr Sarah Hallburgs LCHF videos. As far as LCHF goes in regards to controlling diabetes type 2, and insulin resistance, I understand the metabolic advantages as it relates to controlling blood glucose. What I don't understand is her saying that Insulin resistance makes us fat and that it's a…

"Awesome Job" You're one step closer
Does anyone know what goals MFP uses to give these announcements when you weigh in? Is it % of bodyweight lost? % to goal? Weight Lost as a number? Some of my friends get a "You have lost x%" message. Others "You have lost 13.6 pounds" I think I got one at 20 pounds but can't remember. Any ideas?

Max burn per day?
I'm on a mommy forum and someone said that there was a maximum amount of fat calories that can be burned per day and that's why too much exercise is bad while in a deficit... At some point the burn slows/stops. It makes no logical sense for me and can't find a study or reference to support it. Anyone know what this might…

Help me find that link - metabolism myth
There was a video I saw on one of the forums that was a study that took two friends one fat, one thin, and measured their intake with some funky water drink. They compared it against what they logged as eating and it showed the fat one ate more than they thought. And the thin one are less. And that her metabolism wasn't…

Help my Keto friend. Say NO to egg fasting
I'm part of a mommy group that are all keto. I am not but enjoy the comraderie. One of the ladies has started an egg fast. 5 days of eggs only. It sounds hideous. It's from the IBIH site. Help me explain at least to the others why this is a bad idea. Apparently you can loose 4-6 pounds in that time and you only put a…

0.2 lbs made all the difference
I started in October at 195. The first 10 pounds dropped pretty quickly. The next 5 were excutiating... I was flip flopping up and down the same 3 pounds for weeks!! The lowest I got to was 180.4 before it would bounce back to 182. I desperately wanted to be out of the 180's. I have been pretty diligent with my logging and…

30-40 pounds to loose
I've been playing with the idea of starting strong lifts... I have a good 30-40 pounds to loose. Should I start SL now or wait to get closer to goal weight? I'm 36, 5'2' and 182 pounds. I do about an hour of biking/walking a day. 2x a week I also do 30min boxing with a trainer, and 2x a week I play golf for an hour.

Dizzy....
Had my first PT session today for just 30 mins. Squats, lunges and some core work. It was a short session but I sweated a ton. I normally eat 1200 calories plus 200 for exercise (light waking for 45-60 min). Today I ate 1650 so I don't think I was short on food. 110 g of Carbs, so don't think I was short on carbs....…

Underarmor app overestimating??
I've been using the underarmor ap for my exercise and feel it is a total overestimation. For example - today it said I burned 386 calories for driving 80 golf balls in 45 minutes at the range. I can't believe that. So I put in 100 in mfp diary. Same with treadmill and elliptical readings - for an hour of walking ( about…
