Stephen - Off topic too - but if you've found you've stalled on the keto diet have you tried carbing up?
Especially if you're lifting weights. One meal on a Saturday night once a week or fortnight is great. Doesn't have to be clean either, I found I'd eat an entire large pizza and within a day my weight would drop a significant amount once everything flushed through. Depending on how long you've been on it, you'll kick back into ketosis either Sunday afternoon or Monday and it'll give you a bit more energy for lifting weights for the week to come. Also gives you a bit of an psychological break too. On 20 June 2017 at 02:22, Stephen Price <step...@lythixdesigns.com> wrote: > Totally agree on this point.
