@Sunny_Bunny_ wow, you look even more amazing than last year when I was on here. Yes, what you say makes so much sense now. Keto is low, low carb. Not necessarily high, high fat. I have listened to Jimmy Moore and read Ketoevangelist. So, is there a protein intake estimate that would fit my needs? Being 5 feet 8 inches and…

Well, a friend of ours (my wife and I), has lost 105 pounds and decreased her 6 medications down to one using the ketogenic diet. I know that every person's body is different. I lost roughly 40-45 pounds from last August until January or February of this year. Been roughly maintaining ever since. As far as readings and…

Wow, totally different from what I have read or seen. I was eating pretty high fat and low carb last year and the weight peeled off at record pace. I haven't logged in awhile, true, but I have better entries of what I ate listed in October-November of last year or thereabouts. Very mixed up now.

Salmon, cauliflower mac and cheese, and green beans.

Yes. My shake doesn't come out to heavy on the macros. I used MCT oil some last year to add some fat. Where are these videos? Many thanks.

I will watch.

Really? I thought on ketogenic, you need to be somewhat be careful of too much protein because it can convert to glucose. Am I wrong? Also, I followed Carbs-20grams, Protein-80-120 grams, and Fat-160-250 grams or thereabouts. I know those are wide ranges, but I can't remember exactly. And these change from day to day but…

Thanks folks. I will say that last year from August until December, I tracked. I also ate a lot. About 1800 calories. I was tipping the heavy cream then also. There is very little possibility I eat 1800 calories a day now. I guess I will start tracking again. I was only tipping the heavy cream mainly to add fat. I have…

Didn't mean to mix anyone up. Mainly, I didn't think of it as skipping meals. Might be though. On Saturday and Sunday, usually a late breakfast and a regular supper. Friday I eat small breakfast and small lunch and regular supper. I have to admit, I haven't been eating enough fat. It is almost like the lack of hunger has…

I was thinking that also. So, in simple terms, I can fast but for those few hours I don't fast I need to eat like a normal calorie intake for my size or body style. Right?

Wow, you remembered tons @kpk54 ... the thing is this year it is different, not the contest just my eating. I was honestly seeing if fasting worked. It did somewhat, but just seeing what other strategies and benefits are out there. Last year, I ate because sometimes I was hungry. Now, not so much, so just wondering what…

Well, I logged religiously last year. Now, on this WOE I don't feel as hungry. So, when I get home, usually some ham, stone ground mustard, leftover veggies, etc. Then supper is usually meat, good veggies, not the bad ones, butter, etc. Just not hungry. I feel with the amount of meat I eat, protein is probably okay. The…

My wife made some in her little ice cream maker last night. It was vanilla and great. I will find out the process.

Thanks for the replies. I have made better choices already. Our end of year luncheon was yesterday. Bbq, baked beans. cole slaw, potato salad, kings Hawaiian rolls, and cupcakes. I ate bbq and a spoonful of baked beans and that was it. Father in law made crab legs last night and ate that, no corn on cob. Going to ride my…

Well I weighed 217 this morning. Water fluctuations and all that. I do pretty good for the most part. I also count my achievements. I have not had a soft drink since August. Other things to a minimum. Like French fries maybe once, not a single baked potato, etc. I have slipped up some also. But compared to what I used to…

In the beginning maybe. It is like the weight just wouldn't come back. I had pho like 3 or 4 times in march. The hot soup steam helped. Then the occasional bread and sushi. Then the weight still wouldn't come. The last couple weeks though... BAM

Not really. Not sugar. My willpower was fine 100%. Just walking into the room where to pizzas were at school for teacher appreciation week. One slice turned to two. A sushi craving here or there. And the crazy thing is the weight didn't come back. And a little more and it didn't come back. Then it finally started to come…

I have cheated off and on for last couple of months. Bread here or there. A few chips, pho, pizza crust. I have only gained four pounds. But I feel worse, I look more bloated, blood pressure is up to. Some. I gotta get back on track. I like the once a month treat. My cheats went from one day to the next, then treats from…

I had that shoulder pain in right shoulder for a little while and the temple pain was gone and over quickly. Some people on here thought some of the pains I was having was due to rapid weight loss and body change. All of that has been gone. I felt great from December until middle of March. The virus has been gone for a…

I have done really well with this WOE also. I have had a few slips over the last month or two, but not constant slip-ups. I was so strict at first. I drink a cup or two of coffee after work each day. I can't in the morning. It sends me to the bathroom, and I can't leave my class just for that. Lately, however, my wife has…

So many thanks @nvmomketo !!!! I was hoping so. I do feel like crap after the third one. I usually practice what I preach as far as this WOE goes. I have to get back to it wholeheartedly.

Cool. Weight loss is goal. 35 pounds down and want to lose some more. Many thanks.

On some days, I have been in the same boat. I am a 6th grade teacher in Virginia and we missed a few days because of snow and it extended our winter break. There were a few days in there I didn't eat breakfast or lunch and didn't miss it. Just busy cleaning the house or doing work or whatever. A question though: if not…

Well thanks folks. Not that the scale is the king of all our successes. I hopped back on the scale arose me noon and it read 220. Total water fluctuations I guess. The thing is and I know you all have been there. I am 30-35 pounds lighter and my face pics look better than I ever thought they would. Even putting back on a…

I hope I have the same results today. Water fasting right now and super cleaning this house. Sweep, mop, vacuum, toilets, tubs, etc. Many thanks you all. Any other tips?

Man, yesterday, I was awful. Not really cravings. Just snacking after work. It was all keto, but still. I ate two beef sticks, half a bag of pork rinds, two fat bombs, and a keto chocolate chip cookie. This morning, I weighed a pound less. Go figure... Hope today isn't a repeat.

My step-grandfather swears by his apple cider vinegar and honey mixture. He has been taking it for years. Helps with joints and other things. I did it also until I started this WOE. Now, I down almost a half a cup of apple cider vinegar a day.

I am feeling better now... thanks everyone

No other symptoms so far. Drove to store with wife. Not dizzy. Just hazy kinda. Maybe slight hangover. That is only thing in diet that has changed. Had a swallow or two of bourbon around thanksgiving. Lost taste for it. So last night was first I have drank since starting this woe.

The wife said the same thing. Drinking water now. Is apple cider vinegar a helpful thing? I love me some apple cider vinegar..!!!!
