Headphone Experiment

Loop makes earplugs designed to do this. They have different models, like their Experience one is designed for going to concerts that are too loud, but you still want to be able to hear the music properly, just quieter. Or Engage let's you hear voices, but it helps block out background noises. They're pretty discreet and most people won't notice you're wearing them in my experience.

Tips For Traveling While on Keto?

I haven't traveled extensively while on keto, but I recommend planning ahead. Scope out the restaurants and grocery options where you're going and make a plan for where and what you'll eat. It's really overwhelming figuring out where to eat after traveling all day - having a plan will help prevent you from defaulting to old eating habits.

Also, bring snacks with you - nuts, jerky, maybe cheese, etc. Stuff that will get you quick low carb fat and protein calories, but that travels well.

What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?

Reply in thread

Oh, at my last job I used my Leatherman a ton. Wire cutters, screw driver, pliers, etc. I used the blade for opening boxes and stuff too. I don't know that I'd say everyone needs one, but they are pretty handy. I don't usually carry it anymore at my new job since it's pretty different, but I still occasionally find myself reaching for it.

To the OP question, I would say everyone should have a "go bag" with essential stuff you need in an emergency that's already packed and ready to go. A multitool is a great addition to a Go Bag since it can take the place of a lot of tools in a compact way.

Almonds are great. I've also been eating a lot of walnuts lately -- I didn't used to be a big fan, but since starting keto I've really appreciated their Omega-3 profile, and they've actually grown on me. Also occasionally macadamia, hazelnuts, and a couple Brazil nuts. Nuts have a lot of calories but are great to fit in.

Reached a solid plateau after 10 kg loss

First, congratulations; 10-11 kg is a great start!

Are you tracking your macros? How much of a caloric deficit are you running? Do you know if 50g of carbs is keeping you in ketosis? (20g is traditionally used because it pretty safely keeps you in ketosis, but some people can consume considerably more carbs and still stay in ketosis.)

Are any of your other metrics changing -- pants/belt size, etc. Sometimes you can drop a size without actually losing any weight.

You could try intermittent fasting. Sometimes that helps people jump-start things.
