Going back to a calorie deficit from Keto.
Hi everyone, I decided to get off Keto and eat “lower carbs” than I used to prior to Keto. Before I tried Keto, I was eating mainly proteins and whole grains with fruits and veggies. It worked for me as long as I stuck to a calorie deficit, even when not working out as much. I decided to try Keto after I saw a friend who…

Calorie deficit on Keto?
For those doing Keto or know of Keto, are you also on a calorie deficit? How many calories do you usually aim for? Another question I have is, is it true that sodium intake should be higher on Keto?

GNC LEAN SHAKE?!
I'm in love with GNC's lean shakes!! I usually alternate everyday with either the "ready to go made" bottles which has 25 grams of protein & only 170 cals!
