Hi I’ve been having around 100g carbs a day for the past 10 weeks,this last week though I’ve dropped them to literally nothing,just maybe getting the odd few grams from avocados,seeds and nut butters

Thanks a lot I’ll check it out

I’ve always done low carb cuts in the past but I’m talking around 80-100g a day not like I have been these last 11 weeks(not been over 20g once),my midsection has always been my problem area where water retention is concerned,anytime during keto that I’ve had a day where my sodium levels have been higher than normal I’ve…

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m planning on doing mate,I’m only away for a week so I won’t gain that much anyway cos I’m still really active whilst away I’ve 2 young kids to run around after :D,my concern was what anvilHead has mentioned that if I don’t slowly re add them now and then go beserk as soon as I get away I could…

Thankyou,I hope you have a great summer

Thanks for your advice I appreciate it,adding them back in slowly and around my training is definitely the way I’m going to go

Thanks both of you,I’ll add a carb source to 1 meal everyday for a week then see how I respond and take it from there Cheers

My suggested tdee is just over 2,500,I’ve currently got 4 weeks left of a 14 week cut and am looking at loosing maybe another 3-4 pound in that time,I’m consuming just over 2,000 cals a day so I shouldn’t be to far off with that Thanks for the replies

I always get up way before my wife & kids whilst we’re away and go for a run on the beach,I love it and find it really tranquil,also it’s great to bag those extra few hundred calories that I can later use to good effect at the dessert table :D

That’s what I’m saying though,when I decrease the sodium I loose the puffy look(water weight)but then I feel like absolute @rap,is there any way of having high sodium levels without gaining the water weight,I think I’d much rather look flat and be able to see my abs even if it does mean feeling like rubbish most of the…

Sugar free jelly works a treat for me,if I have enough cals left I add 1 tablespoon of clotted cream

Thanks a lot for all the replies, some great info as usual on here,I’ll stick to what I’m doing then & stop second guessing most of what I’m doing

Yeah it makes a lot of sense,thanks for taking the time out to post that

Yeah I posted in here last week I think it was about how much sodium a day & it might even have been you that replied,I was feeling dreadful whilst out walking my dog I’ve since purchased some pink Himalayan and take a quarter teaspoon with a water chaser twice a day aswell as salting all my meals & water I’m up towards…

Amazing transformation congratulations mate you look great,

Oh really I never read anything about that I obviously didn’t do my research fully that’s great to know thanks so much

I do I have 2 a day mainly but half with each of my 3 main meals and the other half as a snack,if I don’t have the snack I keep it in the fridge as mentioned at the top until the following day

Sugar free jelly is my go to if I’m craving something sweet,I always have a couple made up ready to go,& if I have some calories spare I’ll add 1 or 2 tablespoons of double cream works a treat for me,only 16 cals in jelly

Well I must be extremely lucky with mine then cos I do that with mine and come back to them over 12 hours later and it’ll be in exactly the same condition as when I cut it,and no it doesn’t taste of onion at all

Thanks mate,that was actually the calculator I used and I chose the 20% defecit,I’ll carry on with it this week & see where I’m at on Monday but I might take your advice and up my calories cos I’ve been loosing 3lb a week the last couple of weeks,I don’t really want to be loosing any more than 1.5lb per week,I definitely…

Thanks mate,that was actually the calculator I used and I chose a 20% defecit,I’ll carry on running it for a couple of weeks see how I go but I might take your advice and up my calories cos I’ve been loosing 3lbs a week the last couple of weeks,I don’t really want to loose more than 1.5lb a week,I definitely agree with you…

Thanks for the reply,as I mentioned earlier I’m on the keto diet I’m abit concerned about whether I’m getting enough protein I’ve read up about it loads but I must admit someone says one thing and someone says another,I’ve read to much protein will kick you out of Ketosis but then I’ve seen people having 60-70g more…

There,yeah ccsernica they do we’re a dying breed but apparently it’s making a comeback due to people turning there back on plastic,I’m in england

Don’t know what happened

Thanks for the reply mate,I’m giving it a try because 1 I struggle to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night as it is,so I thought have the extra 30-45 mins sleep 2 I used to always have overnight oats made ready for before work every morning but just recently I’d start to crash big time about an hour or so later whilst at work &…

Oh ok thanks a lot for the advice,it’s all new to me this if I’ve never tried it before

Oh ok thanks mate

No better motivation right there,I wish you all the luck in the world with your weight loss I’m sure you’ll smash it
