I'm a vegetarian my carbs came from veggies. I ate no bread, rice, pasta or anything. So I guess I'd introduce new veggies like onion and tomato which I haven't had in quite a while. Also inflammation, toxins? what you talking about?

I never got any keto flu or other symptoms. Does that mean I was never in Ketosis? Also guys, how do I safely introduce carbs back? -I'll add another 100 cals to my diet by simply increasing a tbsp of peanut butter and then stay at 1800 until I drop my last 10 lbs and then maintenance.

4 days to go Weight is same. It seems I'm another 10lbs away from being labelled as "ripped". I need to increase my caloric intake now so I can start proper weight lifting again but then it'll add million lbs of water weight so wondering how to go by it. I'm thinking of increasing cals by 100 a day starting from 18 June.…

For me intermittent fasting seems like did nothing. Have been doing it since Feb end of this year. 6pm to 8am . I workout at 5.30 am - so even workout was after this long fast. Once this is over I'll start eating a banana before my workout that would mean the fast broke 3 hours earlier than usually but I guess that's fine…

5 days to go Seeing from the progress I feel like I should continue this for the entire month of June which should hopefully get me at my goal weight and then maintain from there until I come back from my vacation then lean bulk. I would also need to re-introduce carbs around my workouts.

and Oh Waist is down 0.4 inches Belly (Gut , stomach) is down 0.7 Hips 0.7 Chest 0.5 Shoulder 0.5 Bicep 0.2 Thighs 0.5 Now if I try to hold the skin on these parts it's not easy as it used to be. So things are going smoothly. Can't check the wait until tuesday because of battery.

6 days to go No weight scale since battery is out. Woke up and realized that there was no electricity. So I was confused as to what can I eat without getting kicked out of my ketosis (if i'm even in it) all of a sudden light bulb lit in my head and ordered veggie salad bowl instead of Veggie sub. Entire bowl was only 60…

7 days to go So I stood on the scale today same time and under similar body conditions and WHAT A SURPRISE - scale ran out of battery. I was so pumped going in because I felt leaner this morning-tried pinching my stomach and very little skin comes in hand-however there is fat on my obliques. Judging by mirror- Lats are…

Gotta pay royalty on using "Unicorn dust" Everytime you use that word, you gotta come back and give me a vegetarian (no meat/seafood/eggs) high fat low carb recipe

Yeah cottage cheese is for lunch. In my diary -it's called "Paneer" the one I get. Now my carbs are lower than 40 grams.

Btw made a smoothie in breakfast. 1 tbsp Coco powder 1 tbsp 35% whip cream 3.5 oz 10% Yogurt 12 oz Almond milk 1 scoop whey protein 21 fat 11 carbs 31 protein 348 calories

Over-eating more than TDEE is what makes us fat no food is bad unless you are medically advised against it. This line of thought took so much effort for me to adopt because we are taught about magical foods that help you lose weight and then there are "Doctors on tv performing miracles with specific foods. " aids in this…

8 days to go 192.8 lbs today- so dropped another 1lb today. I was grocery shopping and I've realized even jams, creamers, yogurts are more Carb oriented than fat. Everything is labelled and sold as "low fat" or "not fat". I'm getting strange looks from family members since I'm deficit and then they see my finding high fat…

Thanks all for the responses. I see the word insulin thrown around a lot. If we do get into the "good/bad carbs" situation and Glycemic index- aren't vegetables the safest kind? hurting the insulin in the least possible way? That is what I consume. So shouldn't my insulin stay stable anyways? Truth be told when one diet…

Thanks for the advice and writing it all out in detail. I will be eating higher Fats since I know about this but I never got a chance to learn about carb cycling and other things like those. I still don't and I'll be reading on it by McDonald Lyle's book on it as well. I have no problem with eating higher fat diet but for…

I didn't know - sorry about that.

9 days to go Weight has dropped to 193.8 lbs and bf% is 18.8. Deadlift and Squats today- this deficit is having it's toll to say the least. However, I knew this going in but I wasn't mentally prepared for this because the feeling of "not being able" to lift what I used to -is new. I know strength will come back when…

Also, only reason I even joined this group because I wanted to hear different side from people who eat very little carbs. Just so I don't get bombarded with one sided theories/studies but it's like ,the same thing here. That's why I am asking you since you seem knowledgeable to post in the above thread so I can get to hear…

Dude you are taking things out of context. When I said "That means Keto diet isn't long term sustainable " it was in response to what the poster above me responded to one of my question. I'll be back to my regular carb intake because well I like muscles lol- this was also in response to the above poster pointing out that…

I, agree.

I didn't blame anything on anyone or any diet. Just logging my experience. I know I feel weak due to the fact that I have taken zero breaks since Jan 9 -never came out of deficit since then either. I cannot stay below 50 grams of carbs if I take my diet back up to 2000 a day deficit. My maintenance intake is suppose to be…

10 days to go Weight is 194.6 lb. It's been 3 days without any drop -I'm assuming that water weight is gone and something deeper might be happening. Energy levels are fine for everyday things but workout still seems scary however I feel fine doing cardio lol which was opposite before I started this.

Thanks all for response. I might have missed mentioning this but based on my lifestyle it'll be hard. It's all about habits -i'm aware of this process so I'd be able to make use of this but trying to have more Fats than carbs in my diet but problem is this diet is all or nothing lol Either you are in ketosis or you are…

Also, it's unlikely for me to continue this long term because for me it is just not doable. My whole life would need shuffling around to be able to utilize this kind of program. I eat carbs being a vegetarian , most of my stuff has carbs in them. I don't eat out as often (maybe once-twice a month) rest is homemade,…

oh wow thanks a lot.

Thanks but it's not about form. It feels like the "oomph" factor or the "push" has faded a bit. I was on 5/3/1 and was hitting new PRs my total even hit 905-910 during deficit but during this strict harsh 21 days. It's gone down now , it's disheartening but it'll be recovered back soon.

11 days to go Weight is back to 194.6 which it was on last Sunday but fat % is down more than was it was last Sun from 19.3 to 19% -could be just an error but since it's for trend purposes I'll take what I'm getting. This week I have not done strength training at all yet. I'll be doing it on Wed-Thur-Fri - So far I've been…

Don't mind me- I'm logging my journey 1500 daily calories Carbs 56g (15%) , Protein 94g (25%) , Fats 100g (60%) - However fats ends up being at 110g and carbs go to 46grams. My maintenance is 2700-2900 calories according to my weight and activity levels (TDEE) Monday 30 May- I was not able to pull 305- I did pull it off…

Exactly! Not want to brag but one time I was spotting someone while bench pressing and he failed and I didn't even help him at all. He almost died. So hilarious! This incident motivated him so much that he doesn't even need me there while working out no more. I mean com'on- if this isn't progress I don't know what is.

Ok..I'll try to be nicer!
