I did not mean to imply I was going to give it up. I lost 25 pounds a few months back by just eating healthy and really hitting the gym hard. But these last ten pounds just don't want to come off. So im trying keto. It was my understanding that you will lose weight very quickly initially in ketosis. There is so much…

I mean give or take a few hundred I think I would still be considered in a deficit no?

Under 1,800 cals a day has been what I've been sticking to. Usually well under. Should I try cutting them down further?

I've been staying under about 1,800 cals a day usually more like 1,600-1,700

I don't believe that I am. I have been at a caloric deficit while I've been doing keto.

so what does? are you saying im NOT doing something I should be doing or are you saying the ketogenic diet does not work?

Thanks for the info. And your right im not horribly over weight but defiantly have a good 10 lbs to lose. Just gonna stick with it. And I ate half an avocado for lunch today actually!

[/quote] Are you at a caloric deficit? [/quote] I'm really not sure. Here is a snap shot of my last couple of days for caloric intake. 1,233- 1,621- 1,439- 1,651

very helpful ideas....I've found that I've been going over on protein.

thanks im gonna keep on keeping on...just a bit frustrating

because im dieting and working out..

milk and cereal has been one of my biggest cravings so far...I could murder some honey nuts right now

thanks for the response...think im just gonna go with the char grilled club as I know its keto friendly

or you could just eat healthy food and like...exercise.

You know something...I like my coffe black but this morning I started to bring my heavy whipping cream to work with me. I did not. tomorrow I will though because people keep telling me its great for keto. And i'll deff check out r/keto

I've heard this argument on both sides pros and cons. But my dad did atkins with much success drinking 4-5 whisky drinks every night. Not arguing that its not bad for your health but it did not keep him from ketosis. Think i'll keep my after work/work out cocktails for the time being.

you just won the internet

I can't say I've ever had a kiss that I thought, wow that sucked. Now I have gone in for it once or twice and gotten the old head turn cheek kiss. Those did suck.

Yeah...I've been told by friends they make low carb powders but I've yet to find one at my local grocery store and Walmart. Guess I need to make a trip to GNC.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know if taking a protein shake daily would bump me out of keto?

Thanks for the reply. And im not sure why my cals are so low, I haven't really been focusing on those placing most of the emphasis on fat, protein and carbs. What do you mean add oils to my meat? Do you mean I should cook it in oil? Because I've been using tons of butter for everything I cook. I've heard coconut oil is…

Im really not sure....from what I've read after some research calories are not a huge deal when your doing a keto type diet. What should I aim for calories wise on such a diet?

Yeah sorry 10% carbs. Thanks for the responses guys.

I used to play all the time through high school though its been a few years....now i play pickup from time to time and go out and shoot and run around for cardio just about weekly. Im American by the way gotta love some footy though.

Thank you everyone for your responses. Perhaps i made an error somewhere but i do not believe so. I will adjust my macros as jgreen0524 suggested. Also any tips for getting your fat where it needs to be? It seems hard to reach that particular percentage. Also can you drink protein drinks on keto? Thanks again guys!
