Been trolling the interwebs after we (SWAMBO and I) started in LCHF "reg eet" 7 weeks ago. I have lost a total of 17kg and 7cm on the tube so far (and I cheated 2 weeks ago, BIG time!). I still have far to go though. The last week it has felt as if everything slowed down. I do however think it's my dairy consumption. My training has not been up to standard, very little cm loss, I'm tired, lethargic and very bem03rd. SWAMBO has cheated more often than I have. She has lost 8kg though, but she usually craves normal, 100% OJ. No idea why. Her BP has stabilised and dropped dramatically though. From levels where our doc panicked to barely above normal! So now the questions (I'm on page 26 of the thread, so if it's been said before please excuse me). How do I calculate the F/P/C ratios? How can I test my ketone levels? I saw someone mention sticks, etc but I can't find anything at the local pharmacy. I am starting on MAF today. I did see that it is not advisable to race, but we've entered for Amashova. So treat it like a training ride? On MAF, I live in an area with very little flats. I have seen quite a bit of improvement on my riding, but I am worried about the rolling stuff while trying to keep the HRM just there. Any advice on this? Am I having carb fever again due to cheating? I try and go riding every morning. We then get to work and after work (5-ish) we go to gym (various reasons, but SWAMBO is not comfortable with getting up at 5AM to go riding). Will one of the bulletproof coffees help me to go longer before breakfast? Will USN Phedra Cuts, etc. help? Or should I rather avoid. The same with CLA? Where oh where do I get proper organic chicken with the skin still on? Our Woolies have the best cuts, but no skin! Why would SMABO crave OJ?
