Thank you!

Okay, so it's possible I'm not using my transverse abs all that much in my plank - good to know. I've done those isometric contractions in the past but didn't realize those were working...

So, I'm 3 months postpartum, and need to reduce my belly. A big element of this is fat loss but I've also read that transverse abdominal muscles get weakened during pregnancy.

I'm wondering if...

Well, I definitely wouldn't say I have no muscle. I think my arms look good (for what I want at least). My butt has lost a lot of muscle unfortunately (perhaps legs too).

I have small bones, so...

So, I'm 3 months post partum working on my belly (take a look at the picture). I'd like to lose an additional 5 lbs of fat at least, but I'm sort of wondering whether to think the state of my belly...

I recently read something which explains why over the years my appetite has become harder to manage and why I can't make it through the night without eating something.

I believe that it's in part...

So, I've heard many times that you can't control where you gain fat.

On the other hand, I believe that hormone levels play a role in where fat is gained. I think I've heard that post-menopausal...

I actually try not to drink much of anything in the last few hours before bed. And in the middle of the night, I'm really only taking a few sips of the Xtend...

I feel like Xtend must be a diuretic.

I've been taking it in the middle of the night to control hunger. (I think I've read that it stabilizes your blood sugar, right?) It works pretty well for...

I'll check him out. Thanks!

Thanks again for all the responses.

Update: The morning of the 6th day I finally started showing "trace". This morning right after waking up I think I was in between "trace" and "small". Of...

If you've lost a bunch of weight, have you noticed that you're hungrier than you used to be?

I'm pretty sure I have. 11 years ago I was 30 lbs heavier, and I've been counting calories these 11...

Thanks! Anybody else?

I don't have a problem with cravings, but my main thing is hunger. I started this hoping I would be satiated on fewer calories. I was really hungry today, but I realized my...

Thanks! Yeah, I was doing a lot of salads before, so now I guess I just need to get more specific about what's on it...
And hopefully nobody will invite me out for Chinese...

Why do YOU prefer keto to other bodybuilding diets? reduced appetite? faster weight loss?

I just started keto and I'm not looking forward to my friends asking me to go out to restaurants. I think my body's carb limit might be pretty low, so I'm very wary of any mystery sauces on my...

Nice! Thank you!

Yeah, I went looking for other threads on the same topic - seemed that people were saying you could do Xtend, but not too much of it...I think that correlates with your research....

Is Xtend okay in keto? I stopped taking it once I started trying to reach ketosis. I figure maybe to be sure I shouldn't start taking it until I at least actually reach ketosis - but what do you guys...

Although, from what I've read, it sort of depends on the individual, right? I read that some people can handle 100g and some people require less than 10. !

What's everyone's take on whether calories "matter or not"? From what I've gathered, metabolism is increased somewhat (because protein consumption increases metabolism?), and there's less hunger due...

Thanks!

Regarding BMs: I used to be a factory (seriously): 4 a day or something; don't think I've had any in maybe 48 hours. (Sorry for TMI :) )

Do you have a dip in energy prior to achieving...
