    Low carb keto training

    @bulkbiker. Thanks for sharing this. I can’t say I understood it all, but the message was very clear. Lchf/keto doesn’t negatively affect performance . I’ll send this link to my PT. He wanted me to do a deadlift this morning that was heavier than usual. I swear it was super glued to the...

    Low carb keto training

    Here is an update on the last week. I’ve stuck to my plan of three days of strength and toning, working with a personal trainer. In spite of being concerned about doing low carb/keto I needn’t have worried. I have a coffee and cream before I leave, and no breakfast. My main issue has...

    Hi everyone,

    Fasting insulin was 7. Pretty chuffed with that. Doc said she doesn’t usually get requests to do it, so thanks for the heads up.

    Best place to buy keto strips

    @Tipetoo. You are right that they are subsidised. 20 of them were just over $21. Was really excited to check to get a proper reading rather than using the keto sticks. 2.4, so really happy with that.

    Best place to buy keto strips

    Sorry if this question is in the wrong place. My CareSens dual arrived today and I thought that there were going to be some keto strips in it to get started. Anyhow, there weren’t and when researching where to get them from I can only buy 1 box of 10 and they work out to be $1 a strip. Is this...
