Keto diet - GOAL WEIGHT REACHED! 275-178

jjulesss

A Redditor! I'm very interested in this, and I've never heard of it before now! Is using the Keto diet for losing 20+ pounds/a pretty large amount, or can it be used to lose 10-20 pounds? In a healthy way of course, without "yo-yo-ing"?

Yes it can! I have never Yo-Yo'd on Keto!

Great Job!!
Just curious if you kept track of your trans fats and cholesterol as well? And if it was balanced with unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats etc. I'd be worried about cholesterol with a lot of animal products? I remember watching the rebuttal documentary to super size me and he did the eating all animal fats etc and had his cholesterol checked and it went down!! Seemed like it didn't make a lot of sense for that to happen. But it did. The body works in weird ways I guess.

I avoided trans fats as much as possible. But took in as much saturated as I could.

I am scheduled for my post-weightloss blood work and to make sure I am actually healthy. I don't see why I wouldnt be, but it's nice to see it all on paper.

I will post back my results when I get them.

Congratulations! Great inspiration! I am basically in a similar place, just not as far along. Started at 288 on 11/27/12, CW 247, GW 175, 6' height.

One note for those wondering about keto/carbs/net carbs, etc., another good resource is the South Beach diet book. You're paper does a great job explaining it, thanks for putting that together. That is basically what I'm doing as well with a strong focus on net carbs (carbs-fiber). I keep mine lower than 35-40g on a daily basis and have been steadily losing as well. I have done 20g too and occasionally revert to that if I get stuck somewhere for a couple of days. It kind of kick starts my metabolism a bit.

What really struck me about your pics was the difference between you around 200 and you at your current weight. Even that difference in weight is so noticeable and you look even better, healthier. Lots of folks are saying I'll be too thin at 175, stop at 200, etc., etc. I think we've lost all sense of what "normal" weight looks like anymore (in America at least). Take a look at old movies, all those guys are "skinny" compared to today, but they were normal weight. You've proved my point, you look great at your weight! I'm going to keep shooting for my target!!

Congrats again and thanks for the inspiration. Keto on!

Thank you so much for your words!

I also noticed that between 200 and 180 was a big difference. I really wanted to lose the baby fat on my face. That along with the fat on my torso are my most hated body attributes.

I have lowered my goal weight to 170 as I'm still not somewhat satisfied with myself and this morning I chimed in at 177.8. Keto is really easy. I could do this forever. The weight is still just flying off at the same pace. I dont get HOW, but I'm not complaining at all.

I love everything right now about myself, but I am just striding to lose a little more. I went to get far away from 200lbs as possible without becoming anorexic haha

WTG on your success! Yeah it just depends on your body and what works for you and what doesn’t and finding that balance. Congrats! WOW! Your notes are really good! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Great job! I just started on the Keto diet Monday. I can already tell a huge difference in the way I feel. I'm a little bummed about giving up a few of my favorites, but I don't have a lot to lose so hopefully it won't be too long and I will proportion my carbs much better from here on. I hope to be able to sit down and actually look at your document and get some tips to help me!

You will very quickly get over the things you craved the most. I personally no longer care for bread or pasta, I missed them, but now I don't even care about them. I dont miss candy at all either. In fact, it sounds disgusting to me.

Go keto! Love it, and your progress is so inspiring.

Yay dietary fat!

Congratulations! You look great! I found that low carb was the best way to go for me. My body just loves to soak in the carbs and hang onto them!

Amazing! Huge congrats on your succes, focus & control. I love keto & can't see introducing carbs back into my diet the way they used to be.

If I do, i eat maybe half a slice of a bread a week. That's the extent of the carbs im introducing for now.

You look absolutely amazing AND younger too! Thanks so much for the details to your weight loss plan. I appreciate the time that you took to put the Keto doc on google apps. Keep up the great work!
