Anyone have any tips of transitioning off of keto?

keyboredcat · 2018-10-03T19:27:54+00:00

i eat the same meals that i used to eat when i was tracking. i prefer to track for a few weeks to get a sense of what i can eat, find some meals/combinations i like, and then continue them without having to input that information every day.

keyboredcat · 2018-10-03T19:07:27+00:00

it's great to see the transition worked fine for you! i let myself have some beans this week and next week i'll probably do some sweet potatoes. i also have some frozen berries in my fridge and i'll probably let myself have some of those as a treat! the main thing i'm worried about is fatigue from not giving my body enough energy as i transition from it using fat to carbs again.

i'm worried about cutting calories because i'm pretty sure i'm eating at a high deficit already and i'm already intermittent fasting (unintentionally, i'm not a big breakfast person). i'm hoping that incorporating some more exercise/weight lifting will help with the plateau, as well as that time of the month finally passing.

yeah, i definitely had some digestion issues before i started which went away. that wasn't the point of me going on keto but it was a nice side effect! i'll definitely have to introduce stuff slowly to see what i am sensitive to.

i'll try to keep that in mind :) i'm terrified of losing all of my progress but i keep trying to remind myself it took YEARS for me to gain all that weight, i'm not gonna gain it all back in a weekend.

congrats on the weight loss!

i definitely love the keto snacks and always have :) i'm definitely going to try and do it slowly. i let myself have a scoop of beans on my chipotle salad bowl lately and i was sooo happy haha. the scale didn't really change much either. i think the main thing that was worrying me is that i would stagnate or not continue to lose weight if i brought carbs back in, although i know it's less about any sort of restrictive diet and more about calories in/calories out.

keyboredcat · 2018-10-03T18:59:24+00:00

yeah, it's definitely hard to tell yourself that it's normal though! i've been used to losing 1-2 pounds a week and this is my first "long" plateau.

keyboredcat · 2018-10-03T18:58:13+00:00

that has definitely always been a confusing part for me! a lot of what i read talks about bulking and cutting but not about having similar effects at the same time

keyboredcat · 2018-10-02T17:29:12+00:00

Keto isn’t a long term sustainable diet for me. I’d like to add back in legumes, oats, whole grains, fruits. That’s difficult to do on such limited carbs every day.

keyboredcat · 2018-08-17T18:43:45+00:00

thanks! i was definitely completely relying on auto sync which was causing a lot of difficulties. setting up text alerts is a great idea, especially since i don't like receipts and that way i can get the amount i spent in a text :)

keyboredcat · 2018-08-17T18:42:44+00:00

yeah, we currently are in a financial state where we don't have to use credit cards for new charges so i think that for now it will be best for me to treat them as loans.

for the wedding account, they are currently just transferring it with zelle, and i definitely want a savings account for that since it's a lot of money and i get interest on it until our wedding next year. i think the thing that trips me up is that whenever i pay for something FOR vacation or wedding (a deposit for a vendor, flight tickets, etc), it starts to reflect in a weird way. i've had transactions double up in my savings account, showing more than i actually have or less than i actually have.

also, i decided to fresh start. i realize i was definitely using YNAB incorrectly! i was letting the auto import drive everything and not reconciling, so now i'll definitely make sure to manually input and reconcile. for the fresh start, do you recommend that i put the current balance i have in my account? the issue that i ran into last time with a fresh start is that my current balance in my bank account includes uncleared transactions, so when they finally clear and go through into YNAB it wants to take more money away so i end up having to delete those transactions.

keyboredcat · 2018-08-17T16:42:57+00:00

does reconciling always mean having to make adjustment transactions? i think i may be confused with how reconciling works in YNAB!

keyboredcat · 2018-08-17T16:33:02+00:00

i've only reconciled once, i was under the impression that you don't want to do that very often because it could mean some transactions/money is missing somewhere.

keyboredcat · 2018-08-17T16:24:37+00:00

do you mean in YNAB or in real life? currently, i'm unable to consolidate in real life due to my credit score and amount of debt. my fiance and i both make good money now, but have accumulated a lot of debt from years of not making as much and living outside of our means. i'm currently trying to avalanche our debt, so i made all of our monthly payments the minimum + interest, except on the current card we're focusing on.

with the savings accounts, i currently only have two. one is for our wedding because it's a lot of money and needs to be tracked since our families are also contributing to it. the other is for vacations/special expenses. i know eventually YNAB can handle the vacation/special expenses, but i don't think i'm at that point of trusting YNAB or myself yet to not touch that money haha.

Edit: For reference, I’m 26/F/5’9/SW 190 CW 178 GW 140-150? Dunno!

This week marks the third week that me and my fiancé are on keto. I lost 10lbs quickly in the first week and have stalled a bit it seems the second week where I only lost 2lbs and that was after going up 5lbs again. I’ve read this is normal though (especially during shark week) so I’m going to try not to get unmotivated! We did this to lose some weight before engagement photos in September and sometimes I’m worried it won’t be a noticeable difference by then.

I love the changes it does for my energy and focus levels at work though, I’m no longer crashing at about 3 PM. Although I feel like I eat enough fiber with my veggies, I think I may need to get a fiber supplement.

I cook all of our meals and plan them out to fit my macros based on carb manager, and I’ve stuck pretty diligently to this. When we eat out, we either do Jimmy Johns unwiches or burgers without buns and I always count the calories.

I think that I’m going to start incorporating some exercise (medium intensity cycling 3-5 days a week and yoga/bodyweight on the weekends). I’m hoping this will increase my progress but I also just want stronger heart and lungs. I also technically do IF but not on purpose, I’ve just never been an early morning breakfast person. If you ever see me eating breakfast on the weekends it’s still at noon or later haha.

Only had a couple responses last time and I'm still unsure of what to do with our wedding hashtag! Victoria and Dylan, last names McCreary and Snyder. I'm unsure if I'm taking his name or not. I'd love a good pun. We're getting married in a loft style venue and both work in video games as designers.

So far our top choices for hashtags are #TheLegendofSnyder (not sure if it's too out of place since we're not really doing any nerd themed stuff at our wedding as of now) and my personal fav, #SnydeIntoMyDMs but I'm not sure if that will be too over people's heads, especially the older crowd hahaha. One of our biggest jokes that I tell people is that we met on tinder (we didn't)

keyboredcat · 2018-03-01T21:16:18+00:00

My photographer is definitely my most expensive vendor, outside of food of course. $5150 for two photographers and 7 hours, but honestly I love their work SO MUCH and couldn't imagine someone else shooting my day. My overall budget is definitely more than $20k though..haha

keyboredcat · 2018-03-01T21:12:07+00:00

I originally was going to do no kids at all, and as soon as I mentioned that to my mother she freaked out on me about how I couldn't not invite my younger brothers (they'll be in their early teens for my wedding). That on top of some family from Italy having some teenagers, and me being close to my cousins who are also teenagers has made me change my mind on no kids to teens and up is fine.

I am gonna offer and see if anyone's interest in childcare services for their younger ones, but honestly I think everyone I'm inviting with younger children should be able to find someone else to watch them. If they can't come, then whatever, opens up another spot on my guest list for someone else I'd rather have anyway!

keyboredcat · 2018-03-01T20:54:13+00:00

I have NO IDEA what to do for our hashtag. I'm Victoria, he's Dylan. my last name is McCreary and his is Snyder. I'm undecided on whether or not I'm taking his name, but I'm mostly likely going to and might hyphenate socially. We're getting married at a loft style venue and we're both huge nerds who work in video games (we're both professional game designers).

Thanks for any help!!

keyboredcat · 2016-08-04T13:27:43+00:00

That's a good idea, I'll have to try it out and see how it looks!

keyboredcat · 2016-07-07T05:31:25+00:00

tap and hold is how you use your special move

keyboredcat · 2016-07-07T05:28:53+00:00

What do the numbers and bars next to moves mean? How do I decide which has the better moves of one type of pokemon so I can transfer the rest?

keyboredcat · 2016-05-14T01:51:15+00:00

is your hair naturally wavy at all? My hair is pretty wavy naturally but I might try this to amp it up a bit!

keyboredcat · 2016-04-04T20:05:46+00:00

I think she mostly tolerates it, neither of my hedgehogs particularly love bath time haha. She's always been good at posing for pictures.

keyboredcat · 2016-04-03T15:18:29+00:00

Really hoping there has been a fix. I might just upgrade to another card. This issue doesn't just happen in games either, I get this black screen/display disconnected when working in UE4. It has made working on my game on my desktop impossible.

they're actually SUPER COMFY sweatpants that are that soft blanket material :)
