i think i figured out my plateau culprit
Just thought I'd share this personal experiment and insight. So I started with a Low GI (South Beach) style diet in late 2011 when my weight was 260 and my blood work was trending worse. I rapidly went down to 250, and then by late 2012 went down to a point where my weight hovered around 232-236 for the next 12 months.…

frustrated. feedback please?
the weight isn't melting away, as the books claim. I have no intention of stopping the keto diet, though. I'm convinced a keto diet will help me manage my metabolic syndrome without pills. But...

what's your fat fast experience?
I'm trying my own version of a fat fast for a few days, to see if I can get the needle to move in the right direction. I'm aiming for 80%+ fat, and keeping my carbs as low as possible. to prepare for this, I made fat bombs last night, with an equal measure of virgin coconut oil, almond butter, and plain butter each. I…

Have you read this new keto article?
If you don't have time, it's part inspiration, part science. The science part is interesting, and for me, comforting. Dr. Attia says 60 grams per day (around 2 ounces) is a realistic daily loss on a keto diet. He also talks about the daily ups-and-downs of the scale, though the long term trend is down.…
