Salmon, mushrooms and brussel sprouts sautéed in grass fed butter :yum:

I agree with everyone who posted above about hunger coming in waves. Some days you won't feel hungry and other days you'll feel you can keep eating. Also, I've noticed I feel more hungry on days I don't drink enough water. Now that I'm consciously drinking 1 gallon per day, I've noticed my hunger hasn't been an issue. On…

@canadjineh @ladipoet @Sabine_Stroehm Thank you ladies! Wow I have never heard of zipfizz.. I just ordered the variety pack from amazon. Will update you all how it works out!

Found this read on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/2205ma/more_than_you_ever_wanted_to_know_about_potassium/ I eat about 3 cups of veggies per day (broccoli, brussel sprouts) and take 2 multivitamins. I realize the veggies do have potassium but nowhere near 3500mg worth. Don't have a trainer yet.

@auntstephie321 I'm currently prepping for my first bodybuilding competition and since I'll be lifting heavy and eating at a moderate deficit, I want to make sure I don't feel too bad (Prep is difficult as is, don't want low level electrolytes to make me feel worse)

Quest is never good to me. I really try to limit myself to one bar, JUST ONE. "I'll only eat one," I say, "Just one," I keep telling myself...but one turns into 3 in one sitting. I think the record for me is 5 bars. I get serious bloating and cramps with Quest. Tastewise- amazing.

Hey guys. Was debating whether I should start a new thread or continue this one... I decided I want to compete in my first bodybuilding show! It's September 9th so I have quite a long prep on my hands. Been cutting for almost two weeks and I've noticed that it's SO HARD to lose weight for some reason. I was gaining a half…

I love going to restaurants because most of the time if you ask, you can customize just about any dish into something low carb. This plate is carnitas mixed with brussel sprouts, topped with two poached eggs, cheese, roasted poblano sauce. (The original plate was carnitas, homefries, and tater tots)

WHY HAVENT I THOUGHT OF THIS. Genius. Can't wait to try it :yum:

Ok guys so I bit the bullet and decided to play with targeted keto. Based on my research, the few carbs before workout gets used up and you go right back into ketosis. This morning I had 30g of carbs 30 minutes prior and I assumed I might have a placebo effect but this can't be all mental? My lifts jumped up dramatically.…

I'm a fan of Diet Coke but I recently found Diet Sunkist. Orange soda! It's my favorite at the moment. I haven't had any fruit in almost a year (excluding avocados, the misunderstood ugly duckling). I drink it at night while hubby gets his fix of Reese's Puffs cereal with bits of chocolate chip cookies thrown in there lol

@Sunny_Bunny_ I'm just using a weigh in day of each End of Week weight. Maybe I should take the average to see if it's trending up or down??

@nvmomketo He inspired me to document it! I'm editing my video right now lol but I feel good! My strength hasn't stalled yet. I'm a bit worried I'm eating a little more than I should? My goal is to gain muscle.. and I feel like gaining a pound per week is a bit excessive. I want to gain .5 pound per week instead. Need to…

Ok so I just wanted to update you guys on what's going on with my bulk: I started at 131 pounds, eating about 1800 calories on avg. Week 1: averaged 2220 calories End of Week Weight: 131.7 Week 2: averaged 2500 calories EOW Weight: 133.0 Week 3: averaged 2300 calories EOW Weight: 132.4 Week 3 weight by day 136 133.4 133.5…

It's always a NSV for me when I'm able to socialize with friends at a restaurant and not bat an eyelash at their carb loaded appetizers and entrees. I'm able to enjoy my food without feeling deprived of eating the complimentary bread or chips or fries. I just remind myself it's complimentary for a reason! :wink: all the…

Lol you can leave out the hwc! I add a splash just so it's not as dense. Delicious either way :smile:

Nope, it takes 2 seconds to throw together! It's perfect.

KETO MOUSSE. I can eat that stuff every day of my life and not get tired of it. Mascarpone cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener, and some heavy cream to stir it up. I'll add crunchy peanut butter or coconut butter if I'm feeling extra fancy.

This is why I love keto. Eggs scrambled with butter, thick cut bacon, and avocado with fresh ground pepper.

I want to get my blood work tested as well. I've been eating LCHF for almost two years now and would love to see the numbers. Do I need to ask for any specific tests or can I just ask them to check my cholesterol?

2 eggs 2 oz cream cheese 1 tbsp coconut flour 1 tsp baking powder Stevia, vanilla extract and cinnamon to taste

@Gallowmere1984 Sorry but what is CNS? And when you were trying to bulk with strict keto, how can you tell if you were getting fat vs building muscle? I'm also planning on taking creatine but I've heard that causes another 5-10lbs in bloat. Is it wise to start the creatine now or wait a few weeks? How would I know I'm…

@pdxhak My goal isn't just to gain weight, but to build muscle. I want to step on stage and compete in my first bikini competition. That's one of the items on my bucket list lol I am eating a ton more food and have been less active (used to work retail, 7k-10k steps 5 days/ week vs now 3k-5k steps and lifting heavy 2x-3x/…

I posted on a different thread about bulking on keto. I've tried to research it. It just seems most people bash it, or end up doing cyclical keto or targeted keto. Ive been eating about 2300 calories these past 7 days. My maintenance calories is around 1650. Weighed myself this morning and I haven't gained or lost any…

THEY MADE HIM DELETE THE *kitten* VIDEO. Ugh idk why this bothers me so much. Why?? There was so much good, valuable information in there. I don't understand why his sponsors felt "at risk"?

Low carb waffles topped with natural chunky peanut butter and Walden Farms syrup. 2 eggs 2 oz cream cheese 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tsp baking powder Sweetener/ cinnamon/ vanilla extract to taste I baked it in my waffle iron for 6 minutes.

@nomorepuke I'm not sure where to buy fish eggs but probably at an Asian supermarket? Look to see if there's a new place by you! They're popping up everywhere now. It's called poke, or poke bowl.

Would you say keto is a great tool for maintenance or cutting but not great for bulking? Will you return to keto after you're done bulking? I'm scared to transition back into eating carbs bc of the instant weight gain and cravings. My lifts suffered in the beginning but I feel like my strength is progressing even with…

This guy started Day 1 with 5% body fat?!?! I thought being that lean wasn't sustainable? Does anyone know if he achieved his body composition through keto only or did he go through phases of carb loading?

So me and the hubby discovered this new Hawaiian fusion place by our house. It's a build your own poke bowl. It's kind of like building your own sushi but without all the rice and carby stuff. My base was spring mix lettuce, proteins included fresh salmon and spicy tuna. Toppings: spicy mayo, avocado, fish eggs, pickled…
