A lot of glycogen (about 1.5 pounds typically) is stored in your liver. Any workout will deplete that glycogen.

But to deplete the glycogen stored in your muscles, you have to use those muscles. ...

You know, this has been discussed many times already. Search.

Yes, a meal with 6g of carbs is fine to have every day. But watch those low-carb tortillas: They're addictive, and before you know...

You seem to have the right idea, but remember that if you're truly eating 10% below maintenance, then it doesn't matter what kind of diet you're on. You'll lose weight anyway.

By the way, where...

You're right. You're not getting all the fat as advertised. Of course, you could scrape the fat out of the pan and eat it, but that would be kind of gross.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Make...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote that I had exceeded my target weight range of 225-230 lbs. and couldn't seem to get back. I was stuck at 231 lbs. in spite of keeping strictly keto and working out as...

Sure, you should continue with keto! If you feel good and enjoy the diet, there's no reason not to.

As for losing fat on your abs...well, that's the trick, isn't it? And it's always hard. ...

I ate like a pig for two days at Thanksgiving, but otherwise have been stricter than usual (anticipating the inevitable falling-off-the-wagon at some point).

Caffeine does indeed stimulate insulin production, which isn't helpful on keto, but it's far from the worst thing you could ingest. Most people find the stimulant effect helpful in suppressing...

Sure, your bodyfat percentage changes slightly when you're retaining less water, but it's meaningless, since you're not actually losing or gaining fat. It's the change over time that matters;...

I am convinced that the body needs to be shocked once in a while, whether for one meal or for a week, in order to stimulate change.

Thanks for all your advice, folks. I leave for Canada on Sunday...

PLEASE BE CAREFUL HERE!!!

Sorry for yelling, but I wanted to get your attention.

I'm sure you'll get some helpful suggestions here, but you are asking for medical advice, and this forum is not...

LOL, I think more of us say "pop" than "soda", but thanks. :D

Good to see you, Tank.

I have to do keto for other reasons than just fat loss, so I'll be sticking with it pretty much full-time from now on if I can. But I agree that leaving it behind seems...

That makes me wonder if you're eating too much protein. Just sayin'.

Good explanation, thanks. This is the only part I take issue with. Fiber is not metabolized and so has no calories for human dietary purposes.

Of course, it can be burned (I mean literally, with...

Thanks for the tips.

I currently don't use whey or any suspect supplements. I do, however, drink diet cola with aspartame, and I probably eat more cheese than I should. And I've also gotten into...

Right, it looks like you didn't count the calories in the sugar alcohols, but even if you had, notice that the calories still don't add up to 200.

But yeah, sugar alcohols are often not counted as...

Since before Thanksgiving I've been about one pound above my five-pound "comfort zone" where I like to maintain my weight. At Thanksgiving I ate like a monster for two days, then lost weight rapidly...

Carb, fat, protein, and calorie figures on food labels are VERY rounded. It added up in someone's lab notebook, but then didn't make sense anymore once it was translated into "labelese". You'll...

You should have waited until after finals, or even after the New Year. It's a bad idea to make major life changes when you're already under stress and need to concentrate.
