WFH this week & want to take next step toward keto life. Already eating low carbs. Need to increase fat & protein & track.
What are your thoughts on testing & travel? How often do you test & where?

You honestly don't need to test. Reduce your carb intake to 20g or less and you'll be in ketosis.

OP, you also need to ensure you're getting enough protein to prevent muscle loss. Think of carbs as a max, protein as a minimum, and fat as a filler. There are many Keto people who tout that you need excessive amounts of fat to be in ketosis, you don't.

OP, you should also checkout the "/r/keto" sub-reddit. There's alot of good information out there about nutrition, hydration, recipes, etc.

Thanks for the advice. It’s going well so far and I used the macro calculator SPM1 suggested. Appreciate it

like

If you are trying to build muscle or lose fat, you should eat at least 0.8g protein per pound of lean body mass. More won't benefit you, but it also won't hurt you. If you're overweight, your fat needs can easily come from stored bodyfat, and you can eat as little fat as possible without hating life.

Thanks, PwC1. I’ve not heard that before and appreciate the advice

Thanks, PwC1! I appreciate that macro-mindset. Max/Min/Filler (AKA “keep me from gnawing off my arm!”)
I am getting into it a bit and think this could be fairly sustainable. Definitely appreciate the wisdom and encouragement

Hi folks.

I wanted to know if HashedIn provides permanent WFH. Atleast for senior employees.

During my HR discussion, HR told me that senior employees like you (SE III) don't have to come to office.

I want to know if it's true or not.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

The dentist wouldn’t even consider any other options because he doesn’t believe there is a good temporary fix… (More in comments)
