I use Carb cheat days to break stalls but that's because I've finally got to the point of Keto adaptation so It doesn't take me long to get back into ketosis. My suggestion would be to lock your scale away and buy a Body tape measure. I've been stuck at 174 for 2 weeks but I.ve gone from a 35" waist to a 33.5" waist. I too…

From my first post I stated that I planned on going thru with the diet. I am far from stupid and did my due research , to include reading the book "The Art and science of low carb performance ". I have been on the diet since the 2nd I have not had any of these negative side effects. I like this method of eating, it has…

So essentially what your saying is that I am going to die from eating foods high in fat with moderate protien and several servings of veggies a day. My caloric intake is 1800-2100 calories a day far from starvation. Lets not forget the ultra endurance athletes that are very successful after becoming Keto Adapted. How did…

I eat 2 meals a day, consumed in a 4 hour window. First one is about 1000 calories and the second is about 850. I am never hungry and I dont eat the other 20 hours. The standard Keto Macro breakdown is 65% fat, 30% Protein and 5% net carbs

Been on the Keto Diet for about 8 days now and could not be happier with it. I now know that I can eat between 1800 and 2100 calories and still loose. I am not tired and hungry all the time like I used to be. While it did affect strength somewhat it did help my run time. Its a sustainable diet because I can eat the food I…

On a low carb diet your body is still using carbs as your main source of fuel so you do not get the benefit of constant ketosis. I have been doing keto for a week with a 20/4 intermittent fast. The benefit is i am not hungry for the other 20 hours and I find it difficult to stuff down more than 2000 calories. I am loosing…

Everyone jumps on the hate McDonalds bandwagon when a guy makes a movie about eating 5000 calories a day at McDonalds and not exercising. But someone loosing weight with McDonalds food is evil witchery. Oh the propaganda

My first meal is 72 Grams of fat. Im sure that qualifies as a fat bomb. I eat 2 times a day 4 hours apart then fast the other 20 so I have to jam all my fat into 2 meals

My diary is open to the public if you want to look

Between 1800 and 1850. According to the Keto calculator 1800 is my minimum and in a month i'm going to have to up my calories to prevent muscle loss

If you loose 2 lbs a week then it would take 14 weeks

Im also doing a 20/4 Intermittent fast schedule so this may be too high in calories for most but my first meal is this: 5 eggs: Scrambled 4 Slices Bacon 1 Sausage 1 oz cheese You cook the bacon and sausage first and then drop the egg mix into the bacon grease. Finish with the cheese and you have about 900 calories and a…

70% Fat, 30 % Protien, Less than 1% Carbs

Came across this video. This girl breaks it down Barney style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtqlM0AQk6I

On my first day on the Keto Diet I ate 50g of carbs while still eating 1850 cal. I was starving when I went to bed. Yesterday I only ate 2g of carbs and roughly a 70/30 fat/protien split. Not only was I not hungry at bedtime I made it until 9:30 before I ate breakfast. Now If I could get the scale not say 181.8 every…

Day 2 in the books Hit 2g Carbs 131g Fat and 144g protein

Mine is open but I only started the diet yesterday. You'll find alot of high carb meals prior to that. Anyone can feel free to add me if they want.

I always tried for less than 2000mg to prevent water retention but I was also eating a lot of carbs when I tried to keep it that low. Learn something new everyday

My Grocery cart was pretty much sausage,bacon,eggs, real butter, full fat cheese, and various cuts of beef. I do find it difficult to keep sodium low on this diet though. I think its all the propaganda that we are force fed about how fat is the enemy that is lingering in my subconscious.

I drink a gallon or more of water per day. That really helps with the cravings. I also find if I eat to few calories I get really hungry no mater how many times I eat a day

Im probably going to do the diet 3 to 4 months tops. Its just a means to burn off stored body fat quickly. With the military drawdown they are being picky about the little extra body fat I store in my lower abs and love handles. Im not disproportionate but I figure Ill try to burn it off anyway since I like being in the…

True but at least they wont be the only ones responding.

Hitting 1 Gram of protein per pound of bodyweight is easier than a lot of people think. I eat 160-190 grams everyday while maintaining a 1600-1700 calorie diet. Its all about where your macros are coming from.
