On Weight-Loss Plateaus

Thank you for this. I find myself incredibly frustrated during plateaus despite knowing a lot of this, especially about water and keeping it “right and tight.”

Seeing this post has really shaken me back into reality; I realize I can choose to take a logical (and healthier) approach, rather than forcing myself to go even more extreme.

I’m aiming to lose a significant amount of weight and I remain concerned about the hit/toll the deficit is taking on my metabolism. What you write (and linked to) about returning to maintenance has helped solidify a solid and smart way of dealing. Much appreciated, thanks again.

Tips For Traveling While on Keto?

My best advice is to plan ahead (i.e. bring your own snacks).

I’m on the road a lot lately. I pack up a small bag or cooler with cheese sticks, deli-cuts jerky, nuts, boiled eggs, avocado, protein shakes, sugar-free jello, fat-bombs (for times of fire indulgence)…Any combination of these is enough to make a meal or stave off hunger; otherwise, I follow the aforementioned restaurant advise of previous commenters.

Hope this helps!
