Re: I can't understand when I figure my macros, that it says I will only lose only 1.5 pounds a month. That just seems what's the point?

Re: Help with macros
It’s okay to go over fat by a few grams now and then, but just try not to make it a habit, or to go over by too much. What I do when face with something like this is to cut back my proteins a bit…

Re: Looking for a good supplement for dehydration.
Feeling dehydrated is common when starting; your body’s dumping a lot of water and will continue to do so for some time. Just my opinion, but water’s the best choice to remain hydrated.…

Re: Grass fed butter - any daily max?
Not sure what you mean - daily max for grass fed butter (??) or fats in general? But I’ll take a shot at it. Fats: the setting tabs/macros will set your fat limits so that’s a start.…

Re: Calorie count keeps changing
You might go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Macros’, and check to see if you have ‘smart macros’ turned on. If so, the app will automatically adjust your macros as you lose weight. hope this helps.

Re: New to Keto
@Carriela yes, you should hit ketosis. Carbs way down, dont exceed protein, and fat til you’re full. Keeping fats lower at the beginning will help force your body to burn stored fat. Good luck!
