Teacupsmom- Журнал, 20 июн 16

look at food journal an see what has changed... 

I really can't tell much of a difference, other than the horrid humidity that last few days and not having time to drink enough water at work....which also means less voiding....got a "cool down" coming....hopefully...or wishful thinking that will help me?  

I have also noticed more pain than I was having in my left ankle again....so I'll go with the swelling notion.... lol  

aaaaaaaand we are having a full moon....heavier gravity! ;) 

I'll go with that Debra!!!! :)  

What are your macro goals? I took a peek at your food calendar, and they're kind of all over the place. You can do this, and the community can help. 

You've had really good results in the past month. As a snooper of the food diary, it looks like you are doing really well. The soybean oil in Hellman's is GMO. Maybe try making your own mayo or go with an organic brand. Could be contributing to inflammation. 

mks, are we looking at the same diary? I am focusing on the fat, and I bet you just see carb, carb, carb.  

I normally don't bother looking at ppls diaries, but my buddies ^^ there made me curious. What I see is protein, protein, protein, Lady. Too much protein turns to sugar within the body. 

Lady, I was looking across the board. That's why I asked what her goals are. ;) 

Mskestrela... if her diet status is correct, she's doing LCHF/Keto. @Teacupsmom... too much protein also causes inflammation.  

Oh, OK. Well, I stand corrected. :) 

Correction was not intended, my friend, only trying to help you guys grab the ropes & swing like Tarzan! 😉 

@Lady...there Could very likely be some food in tolerances as well, but too much protein is a definite issue for most Carb intolerant folks. 

Thanks Mskestrela....I am hoping the community can get me on the right track... I thought I was trying to keep the fats at 75, proteins around 20, and the carbs around 5... I also try to keep the carbs under 20g for now. I know I went a little overboard over the weekend, slightly :) and I am hoping that I get it back to at least closer in the next few days. I guess I just don't understand enough yet...but I keep trying. I'll get it eventually...i think...but I am sure not giving up in anyway.... I do KNOW that I have not been drinking enough water lately....for a few days now....out of necessity at work, but out of "laziness" at home. I can tell I don't have the energy I was having for the last month, but I plan on getting that back too. I guess...i may have been just worrying too much about the carbs and not much about anything else. 

The thing about going by percentages is that your grams will be forever changing according to your total calorie intake. It is better to look at each in grams. Protein is a tuffy. I've seen it recommended as low as .5g per lb of LEAN body mass (sedimentary) to 1g per lb of LEAN body mass (very active). You will have to tweek to see what works for you. This link may give you a starting point. There are several different ones online. http://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/ 

Dietdoctor.com is a great place to research. 

There have been real highs and lows in the carb column, and the fats and proteins are out of balance for a keto plan. And protein turns to sugar if it's too high. 

Thank you Caterpillar and Msk.... 

Anytime! Hang in there, even if you flop like a fish in hot grease (I'VE BEEN THERE). YOU WILL GET THE HANG OF IT! ☺
