I’ve always experienced greater mental clarity, sharpness and energy coupled with greater metabolic efficiency in the absence of exercise. A great choice for sedentary life IMO

@mckinsey 1 - by carbing up every 2 weeks, you may be preventing yourself from keto adapting fully. It takes about 3-4 weeks for your body to fully acclimate. Magnesium and salt supplements may help you get over this hump

I turn into such a grumpy person after 2 week keto. Try to get a few carbs in each fortnight to make better...

I started keto early this summer and I was remote (and therefore very sedentary). If you’re looking for weight loss, it’s important to remember it will always come down to calories in/calories out. So being sedentary can still be challenging on keto. I was able to get to the gym ~4 days a week and it definitely helps me with weight loss and generally feeling better.

All this being said, I do find I’m less hungry on keto, which makes eating fewer calories easier without feeling hungry all the time!

I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions. I don’t really consider myself “his” client bc the relationship is managed by the gym… but lately he keeps saying like “I can’t wait to see what my clients give me for Christmas” and I find it super awkward. I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…
