Super annoyed - spouse habits
My husband has some really annoying habits and I just need to vent. 1. Breathing though his mouth, and it's loud. I am listening to him right now from another room. He's not sick, and it is super annoying to listen to. I've tried asking, him, hey, are you having breathing issues, because you are breathing really loudly?…

Alcohol
Vodka doesn't have any carbs, so if I have a drink mixed with diet or club soda, will it mess it up if I am in ketosis? Does anyone have a drink every now and then and doesn't affect your weight loss?

Keto diet help please!
I've been doing some calculators online and if I eat 1200 calories a day, I need to stay under 80g protein, 50 carbs (is this net?), and 75g of fat. I am struggling to find foods that fit this macro. I end up eating too much protein and not enough fat. And if it's high in fat, it usually has carbs. So I really need…

If you're not losing weight...
And using the calories burned on MFP, they are NOT accurate. Invest in a heart rate monitor. I see alot of my mfp friends posting that they're burning 600+ calories in a half hour, on an elliptical or walking. I am 10lbs overweight and I burn about 100 calories walking in 30 minutes. So - if you're not accurately posting…

Stevia side effects?
Anyone have bad side effects from using stevia? I've been using it in my coffee for about a month and have been getting heart palpitations and dizziness once or twice a day. I have also been under a lot of stress, so I don't know exactly what's causing it. I wanted to quit splenda, but I never had any issues with it. I…

Extra water weight when sick?
Ok I gained 4lbs this week. I also have a bad cold that I am finally getting over. I weighed myself because I thought I would have lost a couple due to being sick and not eating much, but that's not the case at all. Do you retain that much extra water when sick?

Too much caffeine?
So I usually have one 16-20 oz cup of regular coffee per day. But today I decided to stop at Caribou for a large mocha. An hour later, I am feeling slightly light-headed when standing up quickly and my legs feel like jello. Is this from the excess sugar or caffeine in the drink? What can I do to combat it?

BodyMedia Arm band vs just using a HRM
So I have both. I'm wondering which I should really use regularly. Do I just wear the arm band all day including exercise, or not use the arm band at all and just use my Polar HRM during exercise. Personally with the arm band - I hate wearing it all day, especially to bed at night. It seems like it doesn't measure my…

Anyone work out twice a day?
I currently work out for about 40-45 minutes each morning, a mix of strength and cardio. I'm thinking of adding a 20 minute cardio session in the afternoon. Anyone else do this, and has it helped boost your weight loss? I have 2 kids to take care of at night so I don't want to be exhausted either. Right now I'm losing…

Low carb and exercise?
I have been doing low carb (20-40 net carbs per day) for 2 weeks now and have lost 4 lbs. I just started exercising this week, and I guess I just want to know - with going low carb, will I feel more tired adding in exercising? It's been drilled into my head that you need carbs before a workout and protein after. Does…
