I usually will fast when I'm going to have a free meal which has been about once a month. The free meal will be my only meal for the day. I was only weighing once a week at that time but now I weigh every day and when I do sneak in a meal full of carbs, the most gain I have seen has been 2 lbs. I intend to eat mostly a…

Oh forgot to add. SW: 283 CW: 230

17 weeks in. Weight loss has slowed quite a bit. 9 lbs the last 4 weeks. Decided to check in again because I have now lost a total of 53 lbs since November 22nd and I'm just excited about how much better I look and feel and just wanted to share for motivation. It helps me seeing other people's progress to stay motivated so…

I posted the same question about 2 to 3 weeks in. Force fed to meet calories for about 2 days, then decided to just eat when hungry. It went away after a couple more weeks.

As has been stated before supplements are not necessary. My 2 cents though, maybe they help a tiny bit, maybe they don't. For me, I take a multivitamin, preworkout, BCAA'S, and added the Bragg's apple cider vinegar. The preworkout helps me get motivated to get in the gym and workout out as intensely as I can even on days I…

Week 13. Lost 3 more lbs this week after no change in the scale for 2 weeks. 44 lbs. gone since November 22. Since starting keto I've had about 1 cheat meal per month. Each time I eat a calorie and carb laden meal after breaking the 260 mark the 250 mark and now I broke the 240 mark. So this coming weekend I fully intend…

In the right lighting with the right filter I found a bicep!!! LOL

Another week of no weight loss, but I'm thinking I have added some muscle and have continued losing fat which is the main goal. Picture update is 4 weeks ago 250 lbs. Today 242 lbs. My calories have been around 1600-1500 since adding breakfast back in.

Started off last week with my calories continuing to decline so I decided to eat when I wake up just to try and fit in some more calories. Since then I wake up wanting to eat again which can't be a bad thing right? So anyway back up to like 1400 calorie a day average and with that came the dreaded zero loss week!!! Oh no,…

Well, this was me in January of 2016. Trying to get back here first LOL.

Looking back at my food intake last week it was probably a bit low. I averaged a little over 1000 calories per day. It was 1200 the week before and 1500 the week before that. Still eating only when hungry and stopping when full. Might have to add some food though and pay more attention to my daily numbers as 1000 calories…

In a relatively healthy individual, there is no dietary keto acidosis. Your body if capable, will not let it happen. That being said it is always recommended to consult your pcp (primary care physician) Not saying your PCP will be on the Keto bandwagon. Mine sure was and is not. She is down with me eating vegetables and…

Have to add my perspective on this topic. For me I have been steadily losing weight every week since I started focusing on fat loss November 22nd 2016. I was 283 lbs. and as of Monday I'm down to 248. I know I'm healthier, I know I'm leaner, I know I enjoy my new woe. The statement you are your own worst critic definitely…

I've been supplementing with BCAA'S during fasted cardio, and before and during my fasted strength training. Naturally fell into IF at like 20:4 only eat a decent sized meal and a snack. I've no clue if the BCAA'S are helping or not cause I didn't workout without them. I'm down with it just being a placebo effect, because…

So I couldn't resist the urge to jump on the scale midweek and sure enough down to 248, so I went to my local Mexican joint to celebrate, and slobbed down on a giant burrito, my weight in chips and salsa, some rice and beans, and a giant Margarita, YUM!!!!! To my suprise and elation, I weighed in today at..... 248. So 2…

Didn't check in yet, been another steady week. Calories averaged 1468 per day for the week. Only 1 lb. of loss this week. Just gonna keep on keepin on. SW: 283 Last week: 251 CW: 250 I'm just going to assume my body wanted to get stubborn since I'm about to drop under 250 LOL.

Was another interesting week. My hunger is still not existent when I wake up. Switched up my workouts to 3 days a week heavy weights, 3 days of 20 minutes of fasted steady state cardio. I think I have settled on this for at least the next 3 weeks. Lost another 3 lbs. this week and thanks to everybody here I have increased…

Great stuff @SymbolismNZ that post should be a sticky!!! I did some research and had my calories marked at 500 below maintenance, and burning 500 plus daily through exercise, supposedly = 2lbs. Fat loss per week. Found out my body just isn't that hungry and was force feeding myself for 2 weeks to hit my calorie goal every…

I guess that could have helped adding my goals LOL. Yeah, I'm just trying to lose bodyfat. That's pretty much my only goal, and just want to maximize my efforts, want to use the proper tools to be most efficient with this WOE. I'd prefer not to peck on a nail with a screw driver for months, if somebody could spare me a…

I haven't lifted consistently in about 10 years. Used to lift quite a bit. Currently I'm hitting each body part with 1 exercise 3 sets 8-10 reps. No more than 5 exercises per session. Monday push, Wednesday pull, Friday legs. I was concerned with my volume at 6 days per week.

Never tried sardines, they any good? Don't look particularly appetizing.

With my job there is a chance every day I have to work an extra 8 hours, I'd hate to be hungry and not eat for 36 hours, I would be jet 90 to the nearest McDonald's for all the mcgriddles and steak egg and cheese bagels they had. :D

Awesome replies, I do have tons of pecans, almonds and walnuts. Made sure to keep a large stock, love em. I did get 2 hardboiled eggs at the grocery to add to my salad, it only had a half an egg in it. I do have avocados and spinach and eggs, and thinking back I could have whipped them up instead of leaving early to go to…

Whew, I've had pretty steady losses weekly since starting 6 weeks ago and have been getting nervous about the week I see no loss LOL. Have been researching and planning TKD and CKD for if/when it happens. Maybe I'll just keep on keepin on instead.

My first attempt at posting progress pictures. Scale didn't change the past couple days, but I'm still ahead of schedule. 6 weeks in. SW: 283 CW:254 GW: Much less

Yeah, I've watched a bunch of that Jason Fung dude, yeah I'm working on being hip so dude and bro are increasingly creeping their way into my vocabulary. He says our bodies aren't stupid, and I imagine my body has been like this. Hey, we got a bunch of energy coming so let's store all we don't need for later. Now that I've…

FINALLY, I feel like after 5 weeks I am fully "keto adapted" I feel like a lucky case in the fact that I never have suffered any symptoms of a "keto flu". I do take a magnesium supplement, drink a little bouillon cube in water every other day, and was eating spinach in my eggs and eating avocados there for a while for…

Week 3 results, another 2 lbs. down. Feel much better about the slower loss. 2 lbs. a week is what I am shooting for anyway. I did up my calories consumed at times this week. My appetite was much higher this week due to the 20 minutes of cardio I added I believe.

For week 2 I decided to be less meticulous in tracking calories and making sure I ate all the calories I'm "supposed to" and just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm satisfied as opposed to full. Dropped another 6 lbs. My calories ranged from 900 to 2200 daily. Carbs from 5 grams to 38 and net carbs didn't go above 25. I…

When I decided to try and lose some weight I stocked up on a week's worth of low fat meat, chicken breast, super lean ground turkey, couple cartons of egg whites, decided to try LCHF so I had to find some fat and the coffee and fat bombs were a way to eat enough calories while keeping macros where they should be. This week…
