Keto and libido
Ooh... uncomfortable subject. But I have to ask... Have any of you noticed a severe decrease in your libido while on Keto? I sure have. But then again, I have PCOS and have high free testosterone (abnormal for a woman) and with Keto, those levels are most likely dropping rapidly which could account for it. Anyone care to…

How can I tell if I'm in ketosis?
Hello, Keto veterans out there! How do I know if I'm in ketosis? I know it's not overly necessary to know, but I'm curious. I've been sticking to Keto faithfully for 5 days now, keeping my macros at 5%C-25%P-70%F. I've never been over 20g of net carbs since I started, and I have been hitting my 70-75% fat macro almost…

What if...
What if... you *never* saw the number on the scale budge? Regardless of all the hard work you put into tracking your meals, watching what you eat, and regularly busting your butt exercising daily. Would you keep doing what you are doing (eating healthy and working-out) if you DID NOT see that number on the scale going…

New to Strength Training... Advice, please. :)
I do about 45-60 minutes of cardio per day (running, run/walk intervals, and Zumba), but I would like to start adding strength training to my routine. I really don't know where to start. Any ideas, for a beginner? Your help would be much appreciated. :-)
