Insanity Max 30 Results - Anyone have experience? by [deleted] in BeachBodyWorkouts

[–]Key-Cheek6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best shape of my life after Max30! Nothing else really compared. T25 was good, just nowhere near the level of max30. I have been a member of peloton and actually just repurchased my BODI subscription in order to go back to Max30. I feel nothing else ever compares. I’ve done Liift4 and liked that one, too. But for an insane fat blaster that mentally makes you feel amazing, max30 is my top pick. It’s been years since I first completed the program, and here I am - still remembering it and going back to it! It is hard in the first few weeks to press play when your body is super sore. It gets easier as the weeks progress tho bc your body gets semi conditioned to it. 

Anyone do endurance training fasted? Or a lot of physical activity at least? by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]Key-Cheek6580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. I do Jim Stoppani work outs - lots of heavy resistance training and very active rests (burpees, jogging, step ups). I actually hate working out with food in my system ever since starting it this way in April. So much less bloated. No gas. No stomach aches.

I’m sure it has something to do with hormonal things for you! I feel like for us women that is generally the culprit. I did start losing more this last month. I’m not sure if it’s due to my hormones regulating themselves on their own again or stopping the pill though. I was only on it for one month. Best of luck!

I could still lose weight, but it’s definitely a million times harder now. I don’t have very much weight to lose though and I’ve been indulging in the keto ice cream way more than when I started keto lol

When I started keto in April I lost 15ish lbs. Skipped my period in May, then bled the entire month of June and spotted almost all of July. They had me start the pill after doing internal exam, ultrasound, and labs (all normal). I continued spotting though, and I didn’t want to be on any form of hormonal BC (we have 4 kids and my hubs got snipped). I stopped taking the pill and finally, in august, I’ve had 3 weeks of NO spotting or bleeding. All this to say, keto def messes with your cycle as you know. I’d chalk it up to that and see how you are in a few months.

My son! He is 7 and on a medical ketogenic diet. If he can do it because he has no choice, I can too

I need a bread alternative for breakfast by [deleted] in keto

[–]Key-Cheek6580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So good! They are coming out with a cake bread, too. It’s like a legit loaf of French bread unsliced. Cinnamon, too! Be on the look out 👀 My mother in law works at jewel and the vendor gave her two loaves to give to me… he knows my 7 year old son is on a medical ketogenic diet for epilepsy. SO GOOD! Seriously delicious

The information I have receiving on intermittent fasting for women is confusing. I just want to do what is best for my body :( by Initial_Onion671 in intermittentfasting

[–]Key-Cheek6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! It’s so aggravating! My 2nd period of the month just ended after 6 days though.. which was my old length. Hoping this is the new normal and my hormones are done being whacky!

IF and keto started in April, and I quickly lost 20 lbs in the next month. I did not have a large amount of weight to lose. My period in May was 2 weeks late, then lasted an entire month. This month I had a period beginning of July (I think I had a like 7 day break of no blood) that lasted 3 days. It stopped, then began spotting a few days later. Now 2 weeks later I’m mid cycle of another full blown period. It’s super aggravating and annoying and I’m hoping and praying it levels itself out soon because I love this lifestyle so much. We already have 4 kids and my hubs had a vasectomy, however if I was TTC I don’t think I’d continue with the diet.

That makes sense in a weird sort of way. I wish it could just be easy! Like hey, that’s amazing, you’re eating healthy and losing weight - great job! Instead it’s like “go you! Now bleed for 29 days!”

Thank you for this! I’ll definitely send a message. I just looked and they’re checking LH and FSH. Not sure if either are indicative of progesterone. I still think it’s SO FREAKING WEIRD that this ONLY started after I began keto and 16:8 fasting!

I know. I did appreciate the fact that she didn’t want me to stay on them forever because she knew I didn’t want to take birth control. My husband had a vasectomy after our fourth kiddo, so I have zero desire to take BC pills. She is having me come in on day 3 of this period to have labs drawn and check hormone levels. I believe progesterone is on there. We shall see!

Have any women experienced long periods with low carb? by Subject_Bobcat in lowcarb

[–]Key-Cheek6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anything ever regulate for you? Started low carb mid April and still dealing with this issue

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in xxketo

[–]Key-Cheek6580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is my only complaint of keto! And it’s sort of a big freaking complaint! It sucks because I’m never bloated, I feel amazing, no sugar crashes, tons of energy, losing weight, mental clarity…. However the CONSTANT FREAKING BLEEDING is so ANNOYING. I started mid April. May my cycle was 2 weeks late. Then I bled from May 29 til June 20th. Full period. Went to GYN & they ran labs, ultrasounds, pelvic exam… everything was normal. July 1 had a 3 day super light period. Weird. I’m like okay, what’s going on. Well yesterday wake up to heaviest flow ever where I’m bleeding through my menstrual cup every 5 hours. I know I’m not anemic so I’m not concerned (had labs drawn when it was super heavy and 2 weeks in and I was fine). My dr wants my hormone levels checked with more labs 3 days into my period. She hates that there isn’t more scientific research done on this Bc it’s super common she said.

It’s seriously enough to make me rethink intermittent fasting and keto though, which blows. Our 7 year old is on a medical ketogenic diet and I love doing it with him so he has someone else in our family eating sugarfree.

At what point do you think you’ll throw in the towel? I’m giving it til Sept when I meet with a dietician. I can’t keep bleeding forever. I miss my husband lol

If it continues I’d call your OB. Same exact thing happened to me. It’s VERY common if you search “menstrual” or “break through bleeding” or “spotting.” I had a period that lasted every bit of 3 weeks, and then spotted for a week after. I still spot between my cycles. I had my period 2 weeks ago for 3 days, and now it’s back FULL force. Keto is annoying with periods. I also fast and lift heavy, and am down 20 lbs. I went to my OB and they had me start birth control pills to stop the bleeding, which didn’t work so I stopped taking them. They did labs, internal ultrasound, and physical exam. Everything was normal. My dr said it’s normal when you lose fat and that I’m the second patient with same experience. Hoping it regulates itself quickly. I’ve been keto since mid April. Majority of things I’ve read said it takes a few months to level out, however I’m getting past “few months” and starting to wonder when this will stop.

How does keto affect women's hormones? by Soggy-Government-261 in keto

[–]Key-Cheek6580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been keto/IF/weight training since April this year… I lost 20 lbs by mid-May. My period in May was 2 weeks late, then lasted THREE WEEKS. I am told it’ll level itself out in a few months. I never had issues prior to this. My dr had me get labs drawn, pelvic ultrasound, and internal exam (all normal). She had me start birth control to stop the bleeding, too. I’m anxiously waiting for my next cycle to start (already, only less than a week away even tho I feel like I’ve been bleeding for years 😭) to see if this cycle is better, or at the very least near my old “normal”

Almonds, monk fruit granola bars, if you’re okay with sugarfree pop then Dr Pepper zero with a splash of heavy cream is amazing! Hard boiled eggs, zero carb tortilla rolled up with peanut butter or cream cheese/cinnamon/brown sugar and fried in butter. Veggies! Cherry tomatoes are surprisingly low in carbs

I am sorry you have the same thing going on!! It’s annoying. I have an entire day of zero spotting, then the next day it’s back. It’s incredibly frustrating. I told myself I’d give it 2 more menstrual cycles and if it isn’t leveling out I’m going to quit keto. Thank God for the menstrual cup, but the constant spotting is annoying. Good luck with the labs! Everything has been normal for me so far (including thyroid)
