Oh and also canned fish has zero carbs. Sardines in olive oil might be best since it's the whole fish.

Hard boiled eggs. Zero carbs :P

You're spot on, had I not already been fat adapted (aka just used to operating on low carb) from before. The drawback is I have less of that "explosive" power than I would if I ate more carbs... but on most days I just down a sweet potato before class and I'm good. Besides in Jiu-Jitsu I'd much rather not rely on any…

Learn to be comfortable with discomfort. Learn to appreciate your body, how it moves, and the fact that you can use it. Not everyone is that lucky. Sharpen the mind, train the body! :)

Here's a bump to see if there is anyone else out there! :)

You can... just send those to me? Thanks! :P

Popcorn has nothing but the carb, plus I guess fat if you use butter. Protein shake has carbs, but it also has protein (duh) which if above a certain threshold (varies depending on if you workout, etc.) will kick you out of ketosis. Assuming that isn't the case though I don't particularly see a huge difference in the…

I love Dr. Rphoda Patrick. She has some great guest appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience.

I used to lift in a fasted state for the hormonal and fat burning benefits. I know I probably could have lifted more overall if I ate though, so it depends on what your priorities are.

Add me if you'd like. I consume -250g of carbs and 700g of fat. On a good day.

I started eating paleo after reading "The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson. Not the only resource out there, but one that I've actually read. His website marksdailyapple.com is also pretty good for starting out, especially the "definitive guides." It's typical to have a discomfort when first cutting down carbs as you…

Once you lift heavy enough (300lbs+ barbell squat) you shouldn't really do much on the rest days save for... rest. Maybe some yoga / light movement and walking. Save your strength for the days you lift! :)

I've asked the same question on here before. Rectified the situation by using coconut oil in my smoothies / coffee, eating breakfast (4 eggs = fat in there), and making sure there ample ghee/butter for when I cook meats. If you're still under (what is your goal?) then you can also eat fatter cuts of meat like someone else…

@WinoGelato It's not bad at all. Nowadays the market seems to trend toward fresh/organic/natural products, so you may very well find gelato that has very few ingredients. Most processed foods though have ingredients that you would never use simply to make them shelf stable. Also, keep in mind that the company who produces…

@diannethegeek No I don't think your or anyone's advice has been harmful. To clarify, I just said that specific advice, given that we don't know any info about the person asking for it, can also be harmful - in that it can steer them away from their goals rather than get them closer. For example, if you provide specific…

There is not much to go off of in this case, so specific advice can be just as harmful as simple advice, really. And I tend to be in line with that guy you mentioned. Seems like he is also doing low carb / high fat possibly. Well, minus the Quest bars obviously because why. @vingogly I actually keep my bacon grease too, it…

I agree, it's an oversimplification. However it seems even the oversimplification may have been misunderstood in this case. Dianne, note that I did not say that foods not cooked at home are all bad. I just said food cooked at home is going to be okay. As for food processed elsewhere, I never gave my opinion. For those…

Simple, open ended question with no details deserves a simple answer. Since no specifics were provided I gave the best answer I could come up with. I personally would steer away from bread and cottage cheese myself. I can see your point though, as yogurt can be a hassle to make. Though some commercial yogurts out there are…

To simplify: Everything you cook at home is going to be okay.

Basics: Vitamin K2 Vitamin D3 Salmon Oil Zinc Magnesium Vitamin C complex _____ BCAA + Glutamine for when I fast Creatine for when I go hard. (Everyday.)

If I feel a craving for carbs (rare these days) I always make sure to slam down a smoothie or a salad... basically any low-carb/paleo food in general. What your ravenous craving could be is simply hunger. Your mind is likely just freaking out because you're not giving it sugar, a fuel it's used to. Once I put some good…

Eat whole foods cooked at home and move around a bit. That's it.

Gale coconut oil is in some ways better than MCT as it has a full profile of MCTs, where are most "MCT oils" are limited. But to answer the OP, 1 tbs is a good start. Your stomach will let you know when to stop :p

With correct spelling.

Thanks for the replies! Yeah, I just don't see myself eating enough salmon to effectively get the dose of salmon oil I want. That's almost a salmon steak a day! Nor is there a good way of getting Vitamin D3 from food... only from the sun, if you've got adequate exposure and live near the equator. And it's not like all food…

Well I suppose my needs are simple daily upkeep of electrolytes + some basic general health requirements (salmon oil + D3). I get plenty of exercise while keto and/or fasting, so there is that too. Basically, total body optimization. What I am mostly curious about is the electrolyte supplementation.…

I'd look for bodyfat% loss over weight loss... I've been hovering around the same weight but my bodyfat is decreasing (I can see it and measure it). Do you exercise? Doing some HIIT will speed up the metabolism. That wine has been feeding some not so good gut bacteria - cutting it out for a short while will not show…

Maybe your body is more comfortable at the current weight than it would be any lower? There is the "expectations vs reality" going on too that probably a healthy body looks lightly (10-15lbs) bigger than what the media has us believe is the ideal. There are diminishing returns after some point I believe, where you really…

I feel like most cravings for "bad food" are just some misfiring of the brain telling you you're hungry. Before I make a bad decision, I usually crush a smoothie or any healthy food and then see if I still want that calzone... or was I just hungry for anything and calzone was the thing to represent that.

After reading this, stalls have not bothered me: LINK
