Ketogenic [Keto] Eating Thread

Made these tonight. Turned out really well. Side of asparagus.

 

I think I’m going to make a Cuban tonight, and some polish sausage with it.

 

lol I use Mama lupes low carb wraps. They help out a lot

 

This looks damn good.

I went grocery shopping with the intent to start and took one stroll by the beer and said fuck it and grabbed 2 six packs of IPA and a 6 of DIPA. Probably would not be able to sustain this long.

I already eat essentially no processed sugar anyway. Going to give some IF a shot with my current meal and snack rotation.

I have no clue what to try between the 16/8 or the 5:2 method. Some people also just fast for 24 hours once or twice a week?

 

It will otherwise be urinated out without being absorbed and used by your cells.

 

I know people that fast for that long sure. r/fasting has a lot of good info on how long you should go, and what to eat when you end your fast. Dudes on there will fast for 24/48/72 and I saw one guy go 40 days.

I do 23:1 daily.

 

Best frozen keto stuff? Frozen cauliflower rice?

 

They make Atkins frozen dinners.

I get a lot of wings.

 

Looked good.

 

By far the most interesting benefit to me is the autophagy aspect of fasting so I’m looking into doing a longer fast 2-3 times a year.

 

Did the diet a few years ago and lost a bunch of weight. Have slowly gained about half of it back. I started back a few days ago. Has anyone noticed a funny taste once you start ketosis? It’s almost metallic.

 

Duh it’s called Keto breath even I knew that.

“ProLon ingredients are plant-based and do not contain additives, preservatives* or chemicals.“

Based upon the monumental stupidity of this statement alone i wouldn’t buy it.

 

You guys that have been doing it for awhile what percentage of body fat are you guys?

Also do any of you do lots of endurance exercising ?

 

That's normal I think.

 

Correct. Just being particular and havin’ a go at it (jokingly). Even a bag full of air is a chemical. I do think it’s dishonest marketing when supplement companies throw that statement out there though. I’m sure they mean no _________ chemicals where the blank could be fille by harsh or any number of other adjectives, but words matter if it’s going into my body.

 

Everyone at my house had pizza, hoagies, and ice cream last night and I avoided it all

 

This is what I am wondering as well. Are you guys basically just at a good weight and better health, or are you able to keep muscle on/gain muscle on this diet if you lift? You know, there is a difference between being good weight/bmi vs. being "in shape."

 

I did it this summer and loved it. Fell off the wagon in October and I started again today. My bloodwork numbers for sugar and liver were amazing when I went on it. I have a hypothyroid condition so I get my blood tested every 6 months. Dramatic improvements, enjoyable lifestyle diet, and felt great. I am not really heavy but I did lose 10 pounds. I love eggs, meat, cheese etc. so it worked really well for me.

I used the keto diet app on ios until I had a good handle of how much and what to eat every day. It's really good.

 

Bacon and eggs every morning ain't a bad way to live

 

Same here.

I’m at like 14% body fat and looking to trim down to get them abs showing. But I can’t do it and risk messing up my 5-mile run or 12-mile ruck time.

 

I learn so much every time she goes on.

 

I feel like she’s the smartest person in the world.

 

is peanut butter fine

 

Yeah but remember it’s high in calories. I think a serving is 2 TBSP

 

The natural ones have less sugar than the regular. I don’t like how quickly the oil separates though.

 

nice

i fucking love peanut butter

 

Put it in some celery or eat it with a pickle.

 

Likes are hard to come by in here. Not sure I’ll be posting much more during this journey

 

We’re just on to you, like whore.

 

Cashew butter is the top tier but it’s more expensive and difficult to find

 

Went with this as a peanut butter substitute. Different flavors give you options for combos — I usually put some on rice cakes.

Why are potatoes bad? That’s one thing we eat a ton of because they are allowed on Whole 30.

 

As someone who’s worked a 1p-10p shift and usually only eaten a decent sized meal around noon and occasional snack around 5pm, I’ve gotten used to it and the IF thing is intriguing

My brother is doing keto and has noticeably lost weight, so I’m starting to incorporate it. The stevia thing hasn’t been as big of a hurdle as I anticipated. The carbs is just something I know having shopped for bread over the years but still hard to avoid the pizza and fries.

 

There's some decent cauliflower crust pizza around, not going to replace actual great pizza like Little Caesars or anything, but it's an option
