Checking in. Today is my last day of week 3. I’ve been tracking, staying within my macros and trying to get my water in each day. But I’m still feeling sluggish, and to be honest, a bit irritable (my family has noticed 😞). Anyone else dealt with this? Any tips for getting through it? Not sure if it’s part of the adaptation to fat burning - I don’t remember going through this before.

Also, one more question - the other day out of the blue, I suddenly got the distinct taste of metal in my mouth. Odd??

Info on the metal taste:

Try adding a B5 vitamin:

Just wondering if anyone has the same outlook concerning Keto as I do. Concerning keto, I think of it as a "Winter" diet. I imagine descendants were pushed to intermittent fasting based on the reduction in availability of "easy" food in the winter so meals would be spaced out, mostly protein and fat. There would be very little carbs available. Come spring/summer, our diets would naturally shift to slightly more carb dominant with greater frequency. Thus, I am playing with the theory that keto should be cycled. Just some thoughts.

I was thinking the exact opposite personally. I eat more when it is cold and less when it is hot so keto is great just now but I thought I might have to up the carbs come winter just to generate enough heat

End of week three and a bit, water loss clearly visible over the first two weeks, some weird peaks in there of weight gain roughly every five days, need to go over my diary entries and see what might be provoking that!?

I am in too how do I join the Keto challenge??

procrox · July 2018

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised...

Having looked back over my completed diary entries for the 12th,17th,22nd,26th,28th July (days before the larger peaks of gained weight), theres a common theme; glass of prosecco, bottle of beer, dram of whisky.

Old habits die hard, but I'll abstain for a few weeks and see what difference that makes out of curiosity.

So wanted to share that I am down today to 61.4 kg from 62.9 kg on the 20th of July, my final goal being 60 kg, so only 1.4 kg to go. Happy if I take 4 weeks to do that last bit. Did do another 27 hour fast with only 3 black coffees in the later half of the fast so I could keep going. My original weight weight was 84.7 kg. My starting weight for the last 6 months was 71.4. So 10 kg down over 6 months. Its certainly gets way slower the closer I get to that 60 kg. Happy to stroll that last 1.4 kg, but part of me so wants to wake up and see 60 kg!

I should add that I am doing keto under 20 grams of net carbs most days, but allow myself up to 30 grams net on cheat days (about twice a week). And I am doing 16/8 Intermittent Fasting. So 16 hours without eating, followed by eating in a 8 hour window, often it was 18/6, so only a 6 hour window, about 6 times 4 hour eating window, and twice I managed 2.5 hour eating window. Trying to get to 1 meal per day eventually, but its taking time to adjust, so taking the time it takes so ti takes less time.

Has this thread died out or are you all still going strong on Keto?

Week 1, 8.2 lbs lost
Week 2, 2.8 lbs lost
Week 3, 6.4 lbs lost

I feel so far ahead of where I expected to be. I haven’t cheated once in the 24 days into Keto diet. Only time I felt a little guilty was eating 8 strawberries with whipped cream last night. Used stevia and a little vanilla in whipping cream and blended it up. It was awesome even though I wasn’t hungry after eating dinner.

Hey, I'm curious... How has everyone calculated their macros? What app or website did you use?

Hulbert0089 · August 2018

MFP calculates macros

Using MFP- the nutrition screen has a tab with macros info.

Hi all,

Happy Dance Day! I am down to 60.5 kg now, only 500 grams away from my final goal of 60 kg! Yipee! I did do I think 5 fasts that lasted 24 hours to get down from 65 to this weight, and IF of 18/6 most days.

I am still just above 60 kg and now doing 18/6 most days with ease, and roughly 2 x 24 hour fasts each week.

Everyone notices and some are worried about me wanting to lose more weight, but they are people that are generally overweight.

I am fed up of hanging skin so will keep doing what I am doing and see how it goes.

Something I did notice is that when I eat out I feel like crap afterwards, I have no idea what stuff they are putting in some of the meals.

I had a chinese and has ibs for 3 days and cravings. Had a coffee club salad and think it was way more calories than they said.

But over all going to health and loving how much better my body feels and loving the lack of hunger, its not that I never get hungry but most times its just mild hunger pangs and it passes in a few minutes, but just before I go to eat I feel ravenous and I so enjoy my food, I think I am finally learning what real hunger feels like rather than emotional hunger.

Five weeks in and feeling better every day/week. First real social road block this weekend. A guys golf weekend that normally contains a lot of golf, a few beers and lots of bad food. I’m sure to go off Ketosis but will test my willpower to get back on track Sunday. I’ll let you know what happens weightwise if interested.

Update
Week 1, 8.2 lbs lost
Week 2, 2.8 lbs lost
Week 3, 6.4 lbs lost
Week 4, 2.6 lbs lost

3 day guys golf weekend over. Tried really hard to stay on plan but with beverage cart every 30 min and limited food options at clubhouse. (Can only eat wings so long.) I did want up with a few Bud Lights in cupholder and a few carbs to boot. Plus 2lbs for weekend. Will see how many days that sets me back. Got some rest and back on plan.

Clindy50 · August 2018

Today is my second day on keto. Your weekly totals are awesome! Well done!

Passed on pizza yesterday and walked past birthday cake in the break room 3 times this afternoon. Determined to make a change. “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” Thanks for sharing - I needed it!

jenicapi · August 2018

Hi all new here just started day two! I am in carb withdrawel!! Trying to drink as much water to help me! Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, I purchase zero calorie sports drinks to help if I get the Keto flu to replace lost electrolytes. Hope to be part of the LOOSING crowd soon!
