    Are you doing all three? Keto, carnivore and OMAD?

    I'll join you too. I'm not really trying to lose but I wouldn't mind a few more pounds gone by Xmas. I am basically a carnivore, and I am ketogenic because my meats tend to be fatty. I don't log meals or count calories. I usually practice IF with a 4-8 hour eating window; OMAD doesn't really interest me because I don't want to eat that much meat at one sitting, although I've naturally done it a few times. I kind of wish I OMAD did agree with me - it simplifies cooking!

    Height 5'8"

    CW 157.4
    GW by new year is <155

    I'd like to get into the 140s again but I'm pretty happy where I am and am in no rush. I'm losing about 0.5 Lb a week so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing while getting to know new people. :)

    Interesting article on what you can put in your coffee (or in my case, tea) without breaking your fast:

    cjv73 thank you for sharing, so happy to know I can still use cream in my coffee/tea ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

    My foods today were coffee with cream, stevia and protein powder, 2 cheese sausages, a pepperoni, taco seasoned beef with sour cream, and probably some cheese later.

    No pictures. It would be pretty dull to look at. ;)

    I had a cookie at a Grey Cup party yesterday and the scale bounced up a couple of pounds. I find when I eat carnivore, when I do have a bunch of carbs (relatively speaking) the scale responds quite quickly with water weight.

    My meal today was a nice big salmon fillet with a creamy mustard sauce (hwc), baked cauliflower slathered with sour cream, bacon, and shredded cheese (fake baked potato -- so yummy!!) While making dinner I snacked on 80g of almonds and cashews, and finished dinner with a Chapman's NSA ice cream bar. I prefer to eat a smaller quantity of higher-fat/higher-calorie foods that I enjoy rather than stuff myself full of large quantities of lower-calorie food. Even just this amount of food was almost too much...

    Hi I would like to join your challenge. I just started keto this week and struggling with all the fat and calories.

    Height 5 foot 0
    CW 173

    Age: 68

    I actually just started with a new health centre and told them I want to go keto so they gave me a diet outline with macros and I had my RMR done. I burn 1426 just sitting around doing nothing apparently and they don/t want me to go below that. That was the first shocker. Second shocker: I thought I knew keto but I guess I was just doing low carb. After they gave me my macros I am struggling with meeting them. Limiting my protein and increasing my fat is new to me but Im going to give it a good try.

    Hey cjv73, I LOVE Dr Becky! And her husband Keith. It is from their TwoFitDocs youtube videos that convinced me to give Keto a try.

    I had a slice of birthday cake yesterday so I'm retaining a bit of extra water today. It makes a surprising difference - very thirsty today!

    I'm a little late getting to this, but I'd like to try as well.
    I need some way to hold myself accountable!

    I have been losing and gaining the same 3-5 lbs for a long time now.

    Height: 5โ€™ 0"
    Age: 56
    SW: 171 lbs (on Dec 3)
    GW: 161 lbs

    Start: 03/12/18

    Week 1: 173 lbs (Nov 26)
    Week 2: 171 lbs (Dec 3)
    Week 3:
    Week 4:
    Week 5:

    I'm new to IF, so will start with 16:8 the first week and then see what happens from there. I will be doing keto / low carb / Paleo style.
