Mine is open. Carnivore.

Well I have been keto for over a year and my exercise routine is actually less than when I was eating more carbs.

Today it looked like this - half a rotisserie chicken with sugar free bbq sauce, bratwurst sausage and a 3 egg and cheese omelet with pesto bianco(savory pork lard).

Loving my "fad diet". Carnivore keto geek reporting in. Plus an OMAD'er. WE are as crazy as people think we are. (yes, even the standard keto and 16:8 intermittent fasters think we Omad carnivore keto'ers are out of our minds.) But we look good. ;)

Yes, hard rules work for me. I had to look at my binging as an addiction to sweets. I never binged on proteins but I would on carbs. So the addiction model is how I approached my binge eating. It won't work for everyone, but I am glad it works for me.

Also update- past two days I haven't dropped. I have stabilized at the same weight. I have added a bit more fat as the protein I thought would help just wasn't doing it. Before on keto I got stomach upset on too much fat, but I was not very lean at the time. Now I am extremely lean and perhaps my body needs even more fat…

Yup in my case my hair grew so fast. And thick. You know how some people have a set point for weight? I think I had one for hair. It got long but slightly a bit more than halfway to my back but never more. It's down to my butt now!!!! Also my scalp psoriasis cleared up completely!

today it looked like this-

Athlete here. I did the yo-yo up and down. In fact I was on a recent podcast where it was apparent exercise wasn't helping me lose weight at all. this fact was featured and highlighted during the podcast. In fact many of my training pics I am a bit thick and it wasn't all muscle. I had to change the way I ate.

I am about 95% carnivore ket0 (mainly eggs and meat and with some spices and sauces), although I do add 2 tbls of nut butter to my omelet. I am actually trying to wean myself off nuts as it is as much of an addiction as sugar is. So I am going to try to add an extra egg and more fatty meats. Crazy though, I seem to have…

I was a binger Although I binged and overexercised in secret. I went from 108 to 120 and it did not stop there. Also, I was a personal trainer at that time and did a bikini comp, 5k's , marathons and kettlebell sport. Example- A few years ago I went to Old Country Buffet. Consumed fried chicken, mac & cheese, stuffing,…

Dairy causes me to bloat. So except for a few pieces of hard cheese and 1 -2 tbls of butter( dose dependent for me. And i figured out through trial and error what works)i limit dairy. I went to an all you can eat meat restaurant yesterday with my boyfriend. A carnivores dream called Iron Age Steakhouse here in Chicago. I…

During my time off mfp ...i actually got up to the 160s. I lost it again through keto.so i did not stay in shape. But i got it back! That is for another post! The pic in yellow? Jan of 2018. Pic on right? 2 weeks ago.

Keto friendly carbs sounds like a winner. I actually am already doing targeted keto right before my training sessions, but perhaps I should add some carbs right after as well. No too keep on carb cycling, as i had a binge eating disorder in the past. Not on board with Cyclical keto at all. Around my training sessions…

No longer personal train or powerlift. Switched to oly lifting and was getting disillusioned with the fitness industry. And like many people in the fitness industry, had my own personal demons. Back at nursing which is much healthier for me than working as a PT.

Liver. Bratwurst sausage, sardines with 2 tbls of primal chefs ranch dressing.

Forgot to answer your question about fiber... I dont incorporate it at all. In fact switching from standard keto to carnivore keto? No bloat at all. None. When i ate a standard american food pyramid diet? Bloat. Regular keto? Bloat diminished but still there. Carnivore keto ? Zero bloat.

It's a way of life for me now. Not a quick fix. I intend to stay with carnivore keto for the long term. I realize I had an addiction to carbs. Former binger. I have to view carbs as an addiction, akin to heroin and alcohol. If I go back to how I ate before...i get the same results. Binge eating disorder is something I will…

(on a strength and volume cycle) Back squats 4x 8 first and then olympic lifting - 2 hang cleans and 1 power jerk x 4, 2 hang snatches x 4, 3x3 snatch pulls, 3x6 barbell push press. Done with my strength and oly lifts. To end I usually do a 2 exercise metcon. Today's metcon was 5 barbell rows immediately followed by 10…

I do Omad but it was a transition. started off just 12:12 in April of 2018. By May/June i was 14:10. July 2018 to Feb 2019 I was 16:8. By march 2019 to MAY 2019 I would typically do 18 to 19 hrs fasted. By June i was 20 to 24 daily Omad.

egg omelet with garlic and 2 tbls of tahini, spread with Cured pork fat. I always eat this kind of omelet or a variation of. Shredded rotisserie chicken with sugar free G Huges BBQ sauce . Takes less than a few min to prepare.

Medication induced weight gain. Before pic in yellow I was a comfortable 124. Could eat carbs all day, every day and nothing happened. Heck, I used to have an eating disorder- I was a binger and I still maintained my weight. Put on med. Jumped to 150 in 3 months and kept going. I stopped getting on scale at 157 and figure…

Just did my first Olympic lifting competition on Saturday. So today was a deload week. Snatch singles x 5 sets, snatch pulls 3x3, usually I do a variation of an overhead press but today my coach let me do something fun. We decided on bench press 3 x 3. Finally I did a metcon of 8 pullups/15 knee to elbows x 3 rounds.

Can I get a hug instead?

DANG!!! 100 reps on the RIGHT ARM??? IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!

Bench- 120 Squat - 200 Deadlift - 220 I sortof hit a wall since last year. I did my first pl competition LAST year..and did about those same numbers so I haven't really gone up at all. Just maintained. . I switched to training for a kb comp and my numbers in PL went down..so I have to remember not to kick myself for not…

Longcycle is my main event. But to get myself out of my comfort zone...in Michigan I will be doing the longcycle again which I LOVE. This time with a 16 kg bell( I did my first event with the 12 kg) for 10 min...and for a "fun event" will be doing the 5 min snatch. It's not my favorite...but I want to challenge myself. Who…
