I’m starting Keto and have "medium” love handles. If I can maintain the diet and work in more regular exercise, will the love handles ever go away? If so, how long could it take to see some results?

Yes. Love handles = fat. The time for them to shrink depends on how much excess you have. Roughly you can lose about 1-1.5 lbs a week in a healthy way.

Yesterday I put a pair of waist size 36” shorts on that I wore a lot last summer. They fell straight down to the floor. You can absolutely get that kind of results if you stick to the program. Hopefully that’s some motivation.

VP is spot on as to what’s realistic

Right, it is possible to over eat on LCHF variants, (bombs and Keto junk foods) however it has been the way for myself to manage hunger and eat least smoothing the insulin highs and lows that use to plague my energy, weight and total energy intake.

Arguably tho, waist size is most def a better gauge of “is it working.” Than say scale. Just keep electrolytes up. https://youtu.be/w8isf8erdhM

Currently interviewing for a role at Amazon that is listed as a CW position, but I have direct experience in the product and capabilities this role is seeking, and the hiring manager is moving me forward. What is the likelihood that if I tried to negotiate from a CW to FTE, I would get the position?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
