I weigh every morning, post visit to the toilet, and in my boxers.

Attia is awesome and having Dom on there was great. For our WOE and lifestyle, if you haven't listened to it, go do it.

Quick answer, No. I have never been one to purposely eat back a set calorie burn that I did during my workouts. However, there are definitely days where I work out hard and am more hungry on those days. On those days I will eat a little more if I am starving.

Typically 3 days you can get into ketosis but it definitely can take longer.

I am on my own. Wife and I really have never shared the same dinners anyway so it’s pretty much business as usual at my house.

It is a cool device. You don't have to have one to do this diet though.

Started Keto as a way to end the yo yo dieting. Carbs and sugar made me binge. Remove the things that make you binge and you are left with thinking what the hell do I need to be eating. Then I researched keto, watched some documentaries, and decided to take the plunge. All the other side effects/bonuses of switching over…

Isopure low carb. Zero net carbs. It has 1 gram of carb, 1 fiber. For my on the go snacks I buy quest bars and cookies, canned fish like sardines, tuna, etc as well beef jerky/sausages, pork rinds, string cheese. Lots of options out there. Instagram is a wealth of ideas and recipes for keto.

Skinny taste has a Keto friendly meal selector. Her recipes are awesome.

I thought I would come back and update this thread with my own findings/numbers. 2017 Cholesterol Totals LDL 169 HDL 51 Total 220 Trig 145 2018 Post 5 weeks Keto LDL 102 HDL 56 Total 173 (three points higher than my LDL last time) Trig 77 (almost cut in half) Numbers don't lie. I will take this as a win. All the numbers…

Both if your goal is to lose weight in a manner that is easily understandable and repeatable. Calories absolutely matter. Keto makes it easier because the foods you eat are more satiating and keep you fuller longer. I think there could possibly be a time when you will be able to be more instinctive with your eating,…

Great job!

Eat a big meal before you leave. Then throw a quest bar or 2 in your bag for between meals.

I wouldn't eat them back unless you are REALLY needing them. If you keep your deficits moderate, you should be able to exercise daily and not really need to account for any additional calorie burns added back to your daily intake. That is my experience anyway.

I must actually say that the video shows him add the jello first as well. I guess I did do them right. However, they do begin to congeal quickly. :) Ah yes, I have had jello shots in the past as well. :smile:

I did see KetoConnect do a video on that one as well. I am going to give it a try this weekend. So many new recipes to try.

Meatloaf, try pork rinds for a good alternate filler. It won't be loose, but it is really good. I like the frozen bags myself. I have never tried grating it. Seems like to much trouble.

Energy. Since I started Keto I am up and wide awake at 11:00 PM. Before Keto I was in bed and sleeping by 9:00 PM. Not by choice, I was that tired.

Congrats!

No problem everyone. Here is a video guide by 2 of my favorite Keto people on this exact subject where they did testing. They also just put out a cook book that is great. Their ketoconnect web page is also a great place for keto goodies. Including a how to on Keto bread. :) Here is the vid.…

You don't get fat in one meal. Go, eat the meal. If you want to get to nutty about it I like Mark Bell's idea of fasting into and out of a "cheat" meal. 12 hours in, 12 hours out.

Yep, from what I am reading/watching, blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming fire fighters for starting the fires. They ARE present at the fires, but they are not there doing the damage.

Wow that is a heck of a drop in a year. Congrats. Hoping to see similar changes in a year as well.

Thank you for the reply and the suggestion to have particle size measured. I will bring that up with my Dr as well.

Stationary bikes, or an elliptical are both good for intervals. Low impact, and you can turn the resistance up and set the intervals to your liking. Stationary bike just set resistance and do your intervals, elliptical I run in manual mode, turn the resistance up and do intervals.

I like to set mine to manual, turn the resistance up and do intervals 50 on 1:10 off. Do that for 30 minutes. It is both tougher and longer. Do it right and you won't have any question as to if you got your monies worth with your gym visit for cardio that day.

I look at my BCAA's as cheap Gatorade. LoL. Tasty, zero cals, and I sip them throughout my workout. Most everything here has been covered, so I thought I would throw that out there. When was the last time you took a deload? You might just need to take a week and recover a little. I deload by cutting my volume in half.…

A "WOD" is workout of the day. It is whatever workout the trainer has decided to put together to torture you for the day. Well, maybe not torture. :) If you are looking for things to do a good resource would be a crossfit forum. I have never done crossfit, I do however workout at a gym that has a crossfit attached to it.…

Alan Thrall over on youtube has some good how to vids on dead lifting, and he is a funny guy as well. Go check him out. I would put 135 on the bar and just start putting in the time with it after watching some vids. Keep videoing yourself and check out your form as you go. Once you get the feel for how the dead lift is…
