Keto diet - strange doubts creeping in?
I was just wondering if other people have found the same as me - that a ketogenic diet works really well, but that you find yourself wondering whether it's working a bit too well..? I tend to be quite sceptical about most things, and I'm the first person to decry 'miracle diets' as the nonsense that they generally are, but…

Keto and antibiotics...
I've had a bad chest infection which I struggled to clear up with clean eating, hydration and generally looking after myself better than I ever have before, and yesterday had to admit defeat and visit the doctor, who has prescribed me a short course of antibiotics - doxycycline, a tetracycline derived drug.

Thoughts on cardio vs strength training while on a keto diet
Although I do get a fair amount of good cardio exercise over the course of a week - I play drums semi-professionally and am gigging or at the very least practicing a couple of times a week and I do Latin and Ballroom dancing twice a week - I haven't incorporated any specific cardio into my training regime. I'm doing a…

Hello all!
Hi everyone! Checking in for the first time on the community section after setting an 11 day streak using the app! I discovered it a few days after starting an LCHF diet and so far all is going well - almost a stone lost in the first two weeks through a well balanced Macro diet and a significant increase in my activity…
