I’ve been doing keto for 2 weeks and haven’t lost any weight. I need to lose 30, but I naturally eat low carb (~50g net carbs/day) so it’s less of a shock to my body.Any tips to kickstart weight loss?

Two options:
a.) count everything — make sure things have the carbs / calories you think
b.) intermittent fasting (8 hours of eating, 16 hours not)

Beyond that, keep in mind that if you’re working out, muscle weighs more and will also hang onto water. If you’re a lady fish, you might need more than two weeks to discern a trend — hormones are wild.

The only thing I can think of is too much protein. Eating plenty of fat, very low carbs. Honestly I might back to eating healthy balanced meals as that’s the only thing that has worked for weight loss for me

Try implementing a intermittent fasting routine to your eating habits. 16 hour fasting windows, with lots of black coffee and water.

Have you figured out your macros and sticking to them?

Yep I'm counting my macros which says to stay under 23g carbs per day. The urine strips say I'm in ketosis, haven't tested my blood yet. Thanks!

Are you eating enough fat? Are you eating too much protein? Keto is not (just) a low-carb diet

Make sure you are exercising and running a caloric deficit. Even on Keto, if you are eating more calories than you are using you won’t drop weight.

I tried a few calculators but didn’t start losing until I found the Ketogains calculator

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

I’ve hit a plateau on the keto diet (no weight loss in 3 months). So in addition to walking 5 miles a day (been doing this since month 2), on Sunday I started a Beachbody HIIT workout with weights (21 day fix real time). It’s 30 min workout daily and I’m two workouts in and I can barely move. Also, the muscle cramps are for real! Drinking about 80 ounces of water a day and I soaked in an Epsom salt bath last night, any other tips?
