I love keto, more importantly my body really responds to it. I find it’s hard to eat over my allotted calories on keto, so I have a lot of wiggle room to perfect my macros.

A combo of both will get the results you want. If your diet calls for 2800 calories, your results will vary if you favor carbs/fats over protein.

Get your protein and some healthy fats in. Fill in the blanks with carbs.

I did Keto for a while. My body responded really well in terms of weight loss, but I think it was the drop in water weight. I ended up having a really hard time holding water and was having a tough time getting through strenuous workouts as a result.

I've switched to training for bodybuilding now so macros are pretty strict. 60/15/30 for 2 meals surrounding workouts and 30/15/30 for another 3 meals throughout the rest of the day. I'm eating WAY more now than I was before (1600cals to 2200cals) but losing more weight and seeing more strength progress than before.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Hi everyone, I’m seeking some advice - my dog (8yrs old) was attacked several months ago by another dog and after she became depressed and anxious.

My mom doesn’t want to spend money but it just hurts me so much to see the behavior - she walks around in constant circles, looks sad, seizures, hides under the bed. Any advice would be appreciated.
