Peppered burger with cheddar on wilted spring greens with garlic, a side of red cabbage, chilli and garlic sauerkraut, and some cucumber with mayo. Needs more fats and less protein really ...

Salmon, crisped up salmon skin (I love this bit), asparagus and cottage cheese.

Poor-mans-currywurst, with cheese and homemade sauerkraut and some grain mustard.

Onion, garlic, basil, anchovie stuffed aubergine, with mozzarella and tomato slices, topped with chopped capers Popped in the oven for 40mins, these were lovely.

A winning breakfast combo if ever there was.

Chopped Swiss Chard, Chorizo crumb and cheddar omelette. With some bacon rashers for good measure.

Just watched it, really motivational! I didn’t know about the persecution and ultimate vindication of Prof. Noakes, and I loved his argument that there’s no double blind peer reviewed evidence that high fat diet is harmful, but plenty to show high carbs has all kind of harmful impacts.

Oh no, my mistake, dont know why I couldn't see it before. Eye checkup booked! I change my previous opinion whole heartedly to date :blush:

No photo, so, pass sorry!

Anecdotally I feel it (keto) has helped me over the last nine months, it’s worth trying in my humble opinion.

I like to handle my cravings with any of these; Sauerkraut, a good bratwurst and some hot mustard. Bowl of greek yoghurt and some blueberries. Salted mixed nuts. Scrambled eggs with some fried pancetta. Add lots of low cal fluids with all of these to help fill your stomach, iced black coffee, sparkling water, etc.

Also a keto regime follower, love that I no longer suffer from hunger pangs and post-carb crashes too. I have my MFP diary carb limit set to 20g a day, and it's rare that I go over that and I don't stress about it if I do, the one issue I have is that I probably don't get enough calories onboard with keto as my appetite is…

Update Week 1, 1.6kg lost Week 2, 0.6kg lost Week 3, 0.4kg lost Week 4, 0.8kg gained :open_mouth: Week 5, 1.6kg lost Beat my 2017 weight, actually beat the last five years too!, well on the way to my target :smile:

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…

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!?

Yes! Day one, so many good things to come :) That's not the only meal plan for all 30 days is it?

@ABRishardson2016 - I really should try a bit of cinnamon in my morning coffee, for now I'm just dumping double cream in and I love that even by itself. What is the gelatine for? @ftloy - The 50g / 20g thing, I wouldnt stress the actual figure too much, just find what works for you. I recommend getting some Ketostix…

Definitely trying this pizza base recipe !

Steak tartar; sirloin tip (bavette), shallot, capers, chives, salt+pepper, little red wine vinegar, egg yolk!

Egg fried cauliflower rice with a few peas and some red chilli. With a bit of lambs lettuce and ruby chard on the side. This was so like actual rice I couldn't believe it, so I'll be doing this one again for sure.

This is so true, not so much a diet as a total lifestyle change! Walking around a store or supermarket looking for non-carb food is shocking really, todays western diet is so chock full of grains and sugars. I pretty much have to cook at home all the time and take food with me to work, which was difficult for me to adjust…

PS this thread is amazing, thank you everyone!

Asparagus wrapped in bacon and stuffed with mozzarella. Boiled the asparagus in water for just over a minute whilst I started frying the bacon initially over a medium heat, then wrap the asparagus and some shredded mozzarella in the bacon (tricky as it's all hot!) and fry for a few more minutes on each side.

Yes, and I find that the most difficult part really, as in London an awful lot of socialising involves drinking, so I need to avoid the peer pressure and find the courage to just drink water or coffee when I'm out.

Hi, last year I followed a fairly lax keto diet (carbs <50g/day) and dropped 5kg over 116 days. Today is day 7 of my return to keto, started at 149lb (67.9kg), aiming for under 136lb (62kg), and I kick started my ketosis with a 36hour fast. This time around I'm keeping carbs to <20g/day. It's been steady loss every day (I…

Hi Steve! I dont pretend to know what Im doing, but what has worked for me is; A) cutting alcohol out as much as possible, B) using a pretty punishing calorie limit, C) cardio training with a HRM (low exertion for long periods), D) strength training None of these in isolation would probably have much effect, but put…

Almost two months in, down to 63kg and will probably continue at this calorie limit for another month (61kg?) before switching up to a maintenance level. My scales say I have dropped to about 16% body fat, which I'm tempted to trust given abs are making an appearance again. Pretty happy with that!

Of course, the wonderful thing is that you can just supplement with exercise if you want to eat more :)

Nope, but I'm pretty strict about not exceeding the recommended target per day, so if I have a large lunch, I may just drink tea for dinner, likewise if I know I'm going out for dinner with non-MFP people, I will skip breakfast and have a snack for lunch. This is probably incredibly bad advice, but it's what works for me…
