Low Heartrate?
Just curious if anyone has noticed that when doing low carb/keto that their heart rate lowers? I’ve always had a naturally low resting heartrate but I notice (using Fitbit) that when my carbs are low my heartrate decreases even more. My resting heartrate when eating carbs is around 65-70 but low carb it’s usually 55-60.…

Exhausted after eating
Anyone else get exhausted after eating their first meal of the day? I’ve been keto for months so it’s not keto flu. I do 16:8 intermittent fasting and for the last week when I have lunch (my first meal) I feel exhausted afterwards (similar to a sugar crash). I’ve been mostly eating salads with chicken and some other…

Embarrassed over weight lost
So I’ve lost just over 50lbs and I’m proud of that but I’m also really embarrassed because I still have so much more to lose (25 more to my first goal but I definitely should lose more than that, probably another 50 if I’m being honest). I feel like if I wasn’t still so over weight I wouldn’t be as embarrassed... Anyone…

What’s the most your scale has jumped after too many carbs?
I eat pretty low carb 30-50g usually and weigh once a week. This week I was up 7 lbs! I was 1000 calories below my MFP target for the week and pretty active, had lots of water so no real reason for it to be up so much except I had a higher carb day the night before (like 85g) so I’m wondering if it is just water weight…

Favourite recipes?

Under 1200 calorie threads
Does it seem like there’s been a huge increase in healthy BMI people asking about eating less than 1200 calories a day to anyone else? Are we all just getting trolled? Lol

Diet doctor (keto) bun recipe help
Has anyone tried the diet doctor buns? (https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/the-keto-bread) I’ve made them a few times, the first time they didn’t rise properly -fixed that issue but they just never seem to have the right texture. The outsides are nice and crispy but even tho the insides have the bubble holes and are cooked…

Do you ever get mad at the CICO people?
On the main boards any time someone talks about keto/low carb people jump all over them and instantly shout that CICO is the only thing that matters and keto/low carb is just a way for people to stay under their calories... It annoys me lol. Science can’t actually agree on how people lose weight but the people on the…

App to track and show body shape changes as you lose inches?
Does anyone know if there’s an app out there that you can put your measurements into that will show you the changes on your body shape? I’d love to see just an outline of what my starting shape was and then another outline inside of it showing the changes as I lose inches from different parts of my body. I did a google…

Keto help anyone with lingering concussion issues?
Just wondering if anyone on here has personally felt positive effects of a ketogenic diet on concussion issues?

Body weight only exercises?
Any good successes from doing body weight only exercises? I have home gym equipment but honestly I hate using it lol but I do enjoy body weight exercises. I know you’ll get some results but I’m hoping to hear from people who pretty much exclusively do body weight exercises and got good results (just don’t want to be…

How do you deal with hunger?
How do you deal with your hunger when you drastically change your eating habits? Typically if I’m eating low carb all my cravings are gone and I’m significantly less hungry. I have been on a 6 month binge (yikes that feels awful to write) so moving to any healthier way of eating is a lot less food than I’m currently used…

What’s the hardest part for you?
Other than the actual weight loss process (eating good and exercising) what’s the hardest part of losing weight for you? Mine is not weighing myself. I’ll do it twice a day, every day and obsess over every ounce. Right now my goal is to only weigh on Fridays.

The first time ever math has been my friend
I was playing around online, googling weight loss stuff and came across a site that pretty much guaranteed to help you lose all your weight and be the “last diet you’ll ever need”... out of curiosity I filled in the general stats (height, weight, goal, age etc.) and it popped up saying I could be at my goal by March 2020.…

What made you stop yo-yo’ing and finally lose the weight?
I think like many of you I’ve started and stopped my weight los journey so many times I’ve lost count. I’ve been on MFP for years and I’ve lost and gained so many times I’m 30lbs heavier now than I was when I first started... So... for the people who’ve finally lost/kept the weight off, what finally made it “click” for…

Serial starters who finally succeeded?
I’m starting again for what seems like the 1000th time and I’m just curious if any other serial starters finally succeeded in losing the weight? I know lots of us lose a bit and then get derailed and gain it all back and have to start over, it gets pretty discouraging, sometimes feeling like you’ll never hit your goals...…

Have you had success because of The Obesity Code (book)?
I'm not looking for a debate on if the theories in this book are correct or not or if there are other ways to achieve weight loss so please don't start... I'm curious, has anyone read The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung and lost more weight after following his advice? Just curious if…

Enjoy strength training?
Do you enjoy it? Have you always? What exercises do you like? I have a suspension trainer (like TRX) that I enjoy but I enjoy it for like 10 min lol. I've tried free weights, kettle bell, exercises using your own body weight (like sit-ups and push-ups etc.) and I just don't love any of them. I've always enjoyed cardio more…

Would like friends in similar situations
I'm trying to lose 75-100lbs. I'm eating fairly "clean" and really watching my sugar intake (too much sugar and i have unbearable cravings and then binge). I actually eat! I see so many people who are eating like 1000 calories a day, and I won't judge or anything but it's not for me and I can't relate. I'd love some more…

Back at this.... Again
I just realized I've been using mfp for a little over 5 years (off and on) and am only 5 lbs from my starting weight. Depressing!!! I've just come back after having a baby and need some motivation! I've lost the baby weight and now want to lose 65lbs as my first real goal (but could really stand to lose 80-100). I'm trying…

Jealous of the Super Obese?
I was watching one of those medical weightloss shows the other day. You know the type, where they're really really big and they get gastric bypass and lose a ton of weight with what the episode shows as little to no effort and then they get skin removal surgery and look amazing... and there was this girl who'd been 310lbs,…
