i am currently carb cycling, and on my low days i gets carbs only from veggies. i average 50 g on low days. I was using keto stix, but they never really showed ketosis. i would be neutral or maybe the slightest shade of pink. barely visible. I've heard that you can still be buring fat even...

it's really not as complicated as I made it sound :) thanks for your input. my caloric intake on low days is 1400. i based this on a 30% deficit of my TDEE. using a moderate activity level. 55-60% protein, 30% fat, 15-20% carbs My caloric intake on High days are around 1800. 50%...

I'm 5'3. I'd like to be under 20% bf. im not concerned with the weight on the scale. I have a good amount of muscle. I dont mind building more muscle, but i know that's not possible while in caloric deficit. I just cant figure out why I am not dropping bodyfat.

I'm new to posting, but have been learing from you ladies for years. I started a carb cycling diet about 60 days ago. I've been working out and lifting since I was a teenager, but I have always been a chronic undereater and carb phobe. I've always been in good shape, but never was able to take...

i just started a low carb diet myself. I am following Tom venuto's eating plan. I do low carbs (around 50G) for 3 days, and then 1 high day of 225 grams. His diet suggests for me (woman) to have 105 grams on low days, but i think that is to much. it's my first week, so we'll see how it goes...

steel cut is just how they are processed. the inner portion of the oat kernel is cut rather than rolled (rolled oats). apparently this is supposed to result in a thicker texture as well as richier flavor. I don't think it matters as far as nutrients are concerned.

No one? Im reading conflicting information on whether or not greens/veggies should or should not be eaten on the low carbs days. I would think no, but I have read both. Can anyone provide their experience/opinion on this? I was also thinking about doing low/low/high. is this an effective...

thanks RickRock! I just popped it. waiting to see what happens :) I have to workout in the evenings, so i know that i shouldnt take it then. but i'm looking forward to taking it with fasted cardio in the am. ok to take on empty stomach?

I just received mine, excited, but i was wondering, does it make sense to take it in the am, even if i am not going to the gym until this evening?

I just ordered Forged Burner from Need2, however I was reading some reviews on Amazon and someone mentioned that the label said "not for women." is this true--if so, why? She also mentioned feeling very anxious and started developing depression like symptoms. anyone else heard of this....or...
