10th day. All Izz Well
9 completed days, down 9 pounds. [OK I forgot to weight myself the first morning but I extrapolated back. Started the day after my birthday. I designed the diet to meet my protein requirements, 1.6 g per KG of goal weight which seems to be the place to be science wise. I eat enough net carbs to fuel my fresh tasty brains… -
Re: What does insulin resistant mean?
Here's a good article on the subject. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/insulin-resistance-syndrome#:~:text=Insulin%20resistance%20is%20when%20cells,blood%20sugar%20levels%20go%20up. The descriptive part of the article is good. I do disagree with the dietary advice though, based on my personal choices and results. Youtube has… -
Re: Sudden Weight Gain
@beckytheveggie One thing to keep in mind is that our weight is never actually stable. It's completely normal for your weight to go up and down by ~5 lbs per day based on the food you've eaten, bowel movements, hydration status, time of the month, clothing, time of day, etc. For anyone who wants to lose weight, it's… -
Re: How to gain healthy weight?
So I am once again back to attempting to loose body fat while gaining muscle mass. So I struggle with having a calorie surplus while losing fat. I currently weigh 175 lbs and 15% body fat with a goal of keeping that weight BUT lowering my body fat to 10%. Vascularity is good at 15% but I still have a little hanging around… -
Re: Problems syncing with Apple Health
I've given up trying to figure out how Apple calculates energy consumption -- it's a Black Art. Anyway, I'm okay with the numbers I'm getting now, having set my activity level to none -- but I may give sedentary a try just to compare. Today I hit my longest "all activity" streak: 312 days completing all three rings (650… -
Re: Perfect Diets? Idea for a service?
Is this feature really feasible? Here are my objections: 1. Although Cronometer tracks fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it doesn't track all beneficial nutrients. Probiotics and phytonutrients fly below the radar. Then there are the nutrients that aren't known and may not be discovered for centuries. 2. Cronometer doesn't… -
Re: Weird symptoms after 2 years of being vegan
@gabriellita My wife and I are raw vegans for 10 years now (80/10/10). Your periods stopped because of B12. It is not "normal" as many vegan "experts" say. We learned it the hard way. My advice is to start regularly taking the following tests: 1. Blood test for B12 (be aware that if you eat certain seaweeds, the test could… -
Re: Stalled
Hi @Astroprojector A few things to discuss.... First, I think you should visit a Registered Dietitian skilled in weight management who can help determine your specific nutrient requirements and get you on a plan. Not all dietitians use keto diets in their practice, so it will be helpful to ask them if this is something… -
Re: Energy Balance not Calories
Hello @EliteHealth , While you can’t set your patient’s calories to a % or their normal intake, you can set a weight loss goal. We have different options for the rate of weight loss! Here are the daily deficits needed for the different rates of weight loss. -0.5 lbs/week : -249 kcal -1.0 lbs/week : -499 kcal -1.5 lbs/week… -
Re: Resolution and accuracy of calorie deficit over shorter timeframes
You touch on quite a few things. I'll try to summarize what I had originally posted. * Daily weight fluctuation is normal. The average adult's weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 pounds per day. It all comes down to what and when you eat, drink, exercise, and even sleep. Daily weigh-in are moot, in my opinion. I weigh myself…
