I still indulge in fast food about once a week. Whoppers are my favorite, but in a pinch I will take a burger from McDonalds. I try not to do the fries, but get a small one if really have to have it. I just really have to watch my carbs and sodium for that day. I also found since I have been on low carb, low sodium diet,…

keto has less fruit and vegetables due to the carbs, and no pasta or breads. Lots more strict than Atkins or Paleo. I don't have a problem with it, mainly because I don't miss the breads or pasta or fruit. Do miss a lot of my vegetables. So if you like fruits, vegetables and whole grains, try Paleo.

stop, stop, they all sound so good. I know how I am going to get my sweet fix now.

yes, worked wonders. Jumped start my metabolism, as I was stalled.

3 day fat fast will get you going again. I have done it once in the last year, about 2 months ago when I was stalled on that last 10 pounds.

decrease carbs, increase good fats, nuts, oils, meat, butter, mayo. Watch your vegetables, some have really high carbs as do fruits.

It's because your eating more fat and your body is burning it faster

I think I tried the cabbage soup, grapefruit diet, rice diet and that nasty master cleanse, oh and slim fast.

just be careful on keto with vegetables. Some have a lot of carbs in them. Vegetables grown under the dirt have more carbs and sugar in them

I did the fat fasting about a month ago as I was stalled. Only did it for 3-4 days. Breakfast was bullet proof coffee or you can use tea w/2 tsp cocconut oil, 1 tbsp unsalted butter, Skinny girl stevia vanilla liquid, 1-2 tbsp whippping cream, to 12 oz coffee, and 4 slices of low sodium bacon. Lunch was either 4 oz of…

mine always says that, but I have to keep my calorie intake at 1,000 or less or I can't lose.

You are so right. And there are a lot of unhealthy foods out there. foods that can cause high cholesterol and diabetes and heart problems.

actually a friend of mine that does competitive body building turned me on to Keto last year. Still have my slip up days, but for the most part, this truly is the only way I can lose weight.

I think the younger you are the faster your skin will snap back. Mine is going very slow.

low carbs, but no carbs? How is that possible, unless you just eat meat all the time, which is not the best. You do need some vegetables.

ezekial bread and ezekial raisan bread are your best bets. Because they are the sprouted grains, they don't convert to all carbs in your system. When I want to treat myself, I get the raisan bread and put peanut butter on it. So good. I then decrease my carbs for other meals.

I went on a "fat fast" for three days and started the bulletproof coffee. I am so hooked on it every morning now. 12 oz chocolate or vanilla flavored coffee, 1/2 to 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1-2 tsps coconut oil, 1 tbsp whipping cream, and shot of skinny girl stevia vanilla liquid. I do use my mixer that I originally bought…

some people do actually have a broken metabolism, A reg diet does not work for me, but I would never criticize what works for someone else. Being in menopause and no gallbladder, I had never been able to lose my abdominal fat, but it all changed with keto, I just do better on high fat, low carb. I am a nurse and have…

1,100 calories

shouldn't call things stupid if you never tried it.

I agree with you "Ketorach". I have never been successful with a simple caloric restriction, and the keto diet works for me.

you need to eat good fats. real butter, real mayo, nuts, cocconut oil, chicken, lean meats, and cheese. After I went on the keto a year ago,(and lost 43 pounds) my blood pressure went down and so did my cholesterol. The fat fast is only if your weight loss is stalled to put you into ketosis really quick. Your not suppose…

vegetti from walmart for zuchinni squash. I microwave the squash, add sugar free spagetti sauce, add meat, and seasoning. Awesome.

My pain got so bad, I layed awake all night, in the fetal position. Feel so much better now that I had it removed. Good Luck

500 to 1,000 mg of magnesium at bedtime.

avocado, bacon, and eggs

Took me a week to get in to ketosis, longer to be fully in.

Why do you care?
