High blood pressure on Keto or is it my weight?
I have been on Keto for about 6 months or so. My pressure used to be normal but a tragic event in my life took my pressure up.

Decaf Bulletproof Coffee??
I have been making my own Bulletproof coffee every morning but with decaffeinated coffee because I have high blood pressure and I don't want to get addicted to caffeine. I've seen what that looks like with my mom and don't want that to happen to me. Is this totally pointless? Does regular coffee need to be used instead?

Quick question on my macros
I currently have my macros set to 75 protein /20 protein /5 carbs but almost daily I end up eating more fat so my fat ends up being around 78%-82% and my protein ends up being lower. Not worried about my carbs being lower so much. My question is, is this ok or should I try to stick to my macros I set?

Non-Keto friends killing themselves in the gym!
I have noticed that most if not all of my non Keto friends on here are spending 3-4 hours working out, killing themselves in the gym.

What happens to unused ingested fat?
I know carbs turn to sugar, protein turns to glycogen, so what about left over fat that is eaten but the body doesn't get around to using it for fuel? Does it just get flushed out or does it get stored or converted to something else like the others?
