I have lost the majority of my weight doing CI/CO and since the end of January i have been doing keto and lost a further 9lbs or so. the main reason for me going on to keto however was for health reasons and not the diet side of (although it is an added benefit) i have found over the years that i suffer when i eat things…

the first pic is Jan 2017 the second is end of march 2017, no weight difference, slowly seeing the progress :smiley:

Today marks 525 days on MFP and this is my progress so far, a bit more work to do to get to where i want to be but i feel amazing for the first time in my life :) I have never been has fit as i am now.

beginning of jan 2017 to march 30th 2017

ok thank you

you say your body only likes 23 carbs how do we find out what level our bodies will take. Im on week 5 and trying to stay below 20 as i understand this is the ketogenic goal. I do high energy burning exercise most days and have managed to continue this whilst staying under 20g of carbs so wondered if i need to stay that…

how do you find out what your carb number is please

i used to use oatbran a few years back when i did the dukan diet, i wasnt sure if we could use it for the keto diet. would be interesting to find out becasue i loved making porridge with it.

ohhhh i tried avocado and it went straight in the bin, I dont know how everyone can eat it :( Luckily the fat bomb worked :) and today i have just had some nice green veggies for lunch so hope it all helps. I am feeling back to normal today as well

i cant stand dark chocolate and to be honest im not really a chocolate fan so its strange that i want it, i made a batch of fat bombs instead and have had one of them. Results :smiley:

1 year doing cico and only 3 weeks of keto and i am finally starting to notice the weight loss in my thighs. the hardest place for me to lose weight. Also been to the mothers for sunday dinner and didnt eat anything carby at all and refused a drink because the only mixer was cola.

I exercise everyday so i think i will stick with trying to stay under 20g as ive been ok so far. I dont tollerate them too well so the lower the better :smile: Thankyou everyone

Thank you both for clearing that up :smiley:

I have just asked to join the forum as i suffer with food intolerances one being pasta so this may be a new journey for me to take, looking forward to feeling healthier :smiley:

The only food i have banned is pasta and thats only because it does horrible things to my body, bloating like you wouldnt believe and also itchy skin :( . I do love pasta but it dont love me so it is banned for life. All other food i eat within my callorie allowance and enjoy it.

I was unlucky and had 5 wisdom teeth. All of them where removed in surgery at the same time, I was fine afterwards and went home within a couple of hours but the bruising looked awfull. I also know someone that had the same procedure the week after me and they had no bruising at all. you will be fine.

I used to suffer with eczma untill i did a pure protien diet and it completely cleared up. I have since added back all other foods and found that carbs and in particular pasta is my trigger.

Black belt kickboxer here and ive just lost 35lbs over the last year and feel great. no need to quit at all.

ive added a few of you but if anyone else would like to add me here is my link [edited by mods]

Good for you. I have also put my scales away as i was weighing daily and needed to get out of the habbit. I weighed in on Januay 2nd and dont plan on weighing in again until the end of march. Keep working towards your goals. You will get there. :smiley:

i was the same when i first changed my eating and exercise habits. but i agree that if it continues get it checked out.

I went to our local sports shop today to purchase some new running trainers and came across the sale rail. I found 2 pairs of shorts which had been reduced to £4 and a size extra small. I never thought i would get in them but they fit perfectly. yay me :smiley:

I weigh measure and log everything i eat and drink, but i also use a smaller plate to make it look like a full dinner

I love both, and have managed to lose weight and maintain my muscles by doing a good mixture of the mainly kickboxing, kickboxercise, core and strength and jogging

i was just about to post exactly the same thing as you. I have lost 35lbs. 2 sizes and taken the before and after pics. When i look at the pictures i think i look great Yet when i look at myself i still feel fat. its like i am 2 different people one in the picture and one in my head.

I did this a few years ago, yes i lost all the weight but i had no energy, and gained all the weight back and some because its not sustainable. The only positive thing that came out of it for me was that i cleared up an allergy that i was suffering from. (not sure what im allergic to but pasta is a killer)

i havent had breakfast since i was a child as it makes me feel sick, I start eating at lunch and as long as you eat to your calorie allowance it dont matter what time it is
