Take a look at my diary. I have been doing a ketogenic diet for the past 5 months with excellent results. In order to do so, I need to keep my net carbs below 30g a day.

If you are struggling to get the protein in, then yes. I dont have any problem getting my protein so I no longer take them but they are quick and convenient. Aim to get the low carb sugar free protein shakes. Do not go for the mass gainer ones as they are loaded in calories. A normal protein shake has around 150 calories a…

Count the veggies that go in as they come in their pure form. Thats the best way to do it. Best to over-estimate than under-estimate.

Yes it can happen. Fat loss is not linear. I have been at a stable weight for weeks then had a big night out on the drinks and the next day I am 6 pounds lighter. It happens sometimes. Its called the fat whoosh effect. Not exactly scientifically proven, but there has been many recollections of a similar experience.

Diet is most important. Think about it this way: Would you rather spend 20 minutes on the treadmill or eat 200 calories less? The choice is easy for me. Besides weight training, the only point of exercise is to have a healthier heart (which is good) and to create a larger deficit of calories. It isnt that efficient at…

Water weight most likely. Monitor and limit sodium and carbohydrate intake.

Not very calorie dense. However, it is extremely high in sodium. Use it sparingly and make sure you monitor your sodium intake. Too much sodium = too much water retention. I too love soya sauce. I use mixed herbs more often now to add flavour.

Chewing gum, diet coke, almonds, peanuts, cheese sticks (my favourite), small can of tuna, carrot sticks, celery sticks.

Nuts are very calorie dense. I snack on them but make sure you count.

The tatts.

When you feel hungry and are about to give in, go to bed. I do this and have a big hearty breakfast in the morning.

Protein is the bomb. Dont be worried about it. Carbs are what you need to concern yourself with. Make sure you hit your protein and fat goals. Doesnt matter if you go a little over on either of those.

Dunno where people get this 1200 calorie thing from. I have never heard of it on any other nutrition or fitness forum. Eat at your calories. You need energy in order to fuel your workouts and metabolism. Furthermore, if you do not eat, you may overcompensate tomorrow. Enjoy the fact that you have some left over and have a…

There are sweet things you can have guilt free. The best option is sugar free jell-o. Its 20 calories for an entire bowl and tastes great! I eat a bowl every couple of days. On top of that, you can have coke zero and stuff if you are just after something sweet.

Yeah man I hear you. I have been cutting for 6 months and some days, I am just completely down in the dumps. When you feel this way, just remember why you are doing this and think of the results you have achieved thus far. Right now, whenever I am tempted to eat or when people ask me to eat junk food, I just feel my abs…
