First day, do my macros look ok?
I lost a significant amount of weight with the keto diet (less than 20 g of carbs a day) but felt like absolute crap despite keeping up with my electrolytes. I did a whole30 (lasted 50 days) back at the beginning of the year and felt amazing but the weight loss crawled. So I've decided to intertwine the two and try out the…

Body beast? Hammer and chisel?
My husband owns both of the programs but I haven't completed either. Wondering if it'd be worth starting one even if I have another 20 lbs to lose (down 50). Btw I am not a coach and not interested in a coach so please no messages.

Weight loss and increase in back pain
I've had the odd ache and pain in my back for years but i started my weight loss journey March of last year and my back has never hurt so bad. The more weight I lose, the more it hurts which baffles the doctor. I had a ct scan done which showed multilevel Osteoarthritis in my upper back and narrowed nerve entry points at…

Freaking out about potassium
Today is day 8 for me I believe back at keto. It's been pretty smooth sailing till this morning. I have foggy head, a bit of lightheadedness, body aches. I've ate a couple pickles, drank some salty broth, and drank a couple BIG bottles of water with mio, salt and "no salt" substitute for the potassium. So I went to Google…

I'm baaaaack!
I have been on a keto hiatus since October of last year and have maintained my loss (40 lbs) but despite calorie counting, doing a whole30 and just watching what I eat, I gain and lose the same couple pounds week after week. I felt pretty tired and exhausted last time I did keto for 6/7 months so I'm determined to keep an…

My experience going off the keto diet and back to a "moderate" carb diet....
So a lot of you remember I'd been on the keto diet for about 6 months. I started feeling like garbage again (exhausted, dizzy, just feeling bad), so I decided to end it and go back to eating a moderate amount of carbs. I was overwhelmed too so it was a bit to just give myself a break. So I've been back on carbs for about a…

Macros....do they really matter?
I've just found this group and am reading the stickied posts. I'm wondering though....do macros really matter or is it pretty much just a matter of CICO? I'm coming here after being on the ketogenic diet (low carb high fat) for just over 6 months. It worked amazingly well for weight loss (I lost 40.6 lbs), but for me, I…

Is it bad to float in and out of ketosis?
I've had major issues with head pressure and dizziness the past month or so. I do feel better when i have a bit more carbs. Blood work and tests all good so doctor suggests bumping my carbs up to get out of ketosis but low enough to reep the benefits of low carb (she suggested 75-100g a day). I'm wondering though, some…

Adjusting macros out of ketosis
I'm stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed and feeling depressed since the weather has turned. Im needing to give myself some more leeway in my diet so I'm upping my carbs to allow more.flexibility in my diet. So when I up my carbs, do I just down my fat to make up for it? Right now I set it to 20% carbs, 50% fat, 30% protein…

Losing and gaining same 4 pounds...
I'm getting angry. I've been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds since September 5th. I've had a couple of unplanned high carb days but it really shouldn't account for the lack of weight loss. Last Monday I had a higher carb day due to thanksgiving and had almost lost the weight by Saturday and then I woke up this morning…

Sugar alcohols net carbs
I'm so confused. Im wanting to have some compliant "treat" on hand for Halloween so I don't binge. I gave a major history of 10 pound weight gain during the month after Halloween and WILL avoid that this year. So I deduct sugar alcohol from the carb count right? I have no issues with sugar alcohol so that isn't a problem.…

Weight gain after an indulgance
On Monday we had thanksgiving dinner and I stuck to grain free but my carbs were higher (still under 100). Anyways the next day I has gained 5 pounds which I expected. What I didn't expect is to be still trying to lose it 4 days later. I'm within 0.8 lb and I'm drinking a lot of water and peeing like crazy. So why does it…

Is there an AIP version of keto for arthritis?
Ive followed an Auto Immune Protecol of the paleo diet in the past with good results in terms of reduction of arthritic pain but didn't lose weight on it. I lose weight on the keto diet and some of my joint pain goes away but not entirely. I'm wondering if there's an Auto Immune Keto diet or if there are certain things I…

Amazingly delicious stuffing recipe....
With canadian thanksgiving around the corner here i thougut I'd share. I make a paleo stuffing every year for my son and I due to celiac disease. It is so delicious and is often eaten (ate?) by others as well. I'm thinking it can be ketoified by omitting the sweet potato or if your carb allowance allows, just leave it in.…

Needing to go back to the basics...

Phinney and Volek....
I was just briefly reading about Dr Phinney and Dr Volek And their macro recommendations for weight loss and I'm curious if anyone follows them?
