Ketogenic [Keto] Eating Thread

After thanksgiving I was in the mid 180s. I just hit the 150s for the first time in two years

 

When I hit the one 140s, I’m going and eating the biggest buffalo chicken sandwich and order of fries I can get my hands on

 

Had some leftover cabbage so I made that crackslaw that lewis posted and yep that’s gonna join the regular rotation

 

Nice job.

 

Adding this to the lunch rotation.

1 Avacado diced, 2 boiled eggs diced, 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles, s&p. Mix
583 cal, 46.9 g fat, 3 g carbs, 17.5 g protein.

 

That lamb/onion/feta sounds perfect

 

Do you have a link to this?

I'll add a fried egg and a bit of unseasoned rice wine vinegar to it as well.

 

Fell off the wagon again this weekend. Tacked 5 quick pounds on but I think it was good. I’m back on the train today and I’ll hop back off in two weeks for a wedding.

 

I'll be at a bar all day Thursday and Friday for the games this week so I'm already chalking them up as a loss, but I'm doing some fasting beforehand and will fast again afterwards and should hopefully be able to minimize the damages.

 

i had an abysmal weekend where i ate 4 cream cheese danishes and 2 apple danishes from Costco, followed by 2 big fried chicken sandwiches from a local place and had a ton of beer

it was so worth tho

 

What are you gonna do the second time you hit the 140s

ha ha

 

Wings and whiskey bruh

 

Whiskey would have me blacked out by the mid-afternoon games - so it's a hard maybe

 

My parents had their 60th birthdays this weekend and we took the whole family to their favorite town a few hours away for 1 night.

Managed to sneak in pizza, pasta, a few craft brews, ice cream, and Wendy’s in about a 24 hour period. Totally worth it.

 

Porn powerhouse

 

Good god she got big

 

Where do you normally find the quest bars on sale?

 

Never trust a keto fart. Luckily I was in the gym parking lot and not inside the gym

 

Try Amazon.

 

devine Daniel Ocean and other long time keto-ers. Here in month 3 I’m pretty constipated. Did that ever happen to you guys? Really weird considering months 1&2 were basically constant bouts of diarrhea.

 

Yes like DO said above it comes and goes

 

I think I’ll get some Metamucil or fiber supplement. I can tell from the mirror and from belt snugness that I’ve been losing inches since March started but the scale has been pretty stagnant. I think a good system flush will get me back on track.

 

goodbye friends I’m officially ending my keto fun for now and transitioning back to a high protein/low fat diet

 

except for all the gin I drank Saturday and the chicken and waffles Sunday morning and the pizza I ate Sunday night and the Taco Bell I ate last night

 

I think eventually cycling in and out of it will be a good way to go. Let folks know how it goes.

 

if anybody wants to join me on this journey then PM me or whatever and we can do it together. It's summer bod time so I'm cutting my calories to 2,800 with a 35/35/30% carb/protein/fat split

 

In the Charlotte area at least, Wal-Mart and Target have the best prices. Generally can find them for $7.50 for a box of 4 which is better than the ~$2.50 per bar you see most places

 

Officially lost 20lbs since I started Keto in January. The key was when I started mixing in intermittent fasting then a 24 hour fast from Sunday night through Monday night. Allowed me to play fast and loose on saturday and Sunday then immediately hit the reset button.

 

Target once had a deal where you got a $5 gift card for every two boxes you bought. Outside of things like that they don’t go on sale often.

 

Good job.

 

I guess the question is as a not fat person, what did you get from your time doing keto?

 

I think I’ll be able to answer that more in a week or so when I feed off carbs and build my glycogen stores back up. I think I felt more clear headed but that’s really about it. My energy levels in the gym were lower than usual too. I’m also constantly sick it seems like, but never got so much as a cold on the diet. I see myself doing it again sometime I think

 

Starting week for half marathon training. I’m interested to see how my energy levels do, especially for long runs.

 

made this tonight:

https://realbalanced.com/recipe/instant-pot-broccoli-cheese-soup/

followed the recipe except at the end I added a pound of sauteed 80/20 ground beef. topped it with onions and tapatio, so it was kinda like a delicious broccoli cheddar cheeseburger soup.

macros per serving for 5 servings were: 798 cal, 61 fat, 42 protein, 12 net carbs.

 

I've slowed down, but haven't been good on the keto either.

219lbs this a.m.

12lbs from goal (would be 100lbs lost).

 

Started Dec 31 at 175
Down to 158. Goal is 155. Anything lower and I'll bee too skinny (I have a very slight build minus the beer gut I had haha)

Best part? I haven't had a migraine since I started. I've gotten them about 2-3 times a month since I was about 10-12 (I'm 31). I've had a few minor headaches that I took regular Advil for and they've been gone in 10 minutes which I didn't even know was possible

I'll never go back to full carbs/sugar. I may incorporate more fruits and a weekly potato night, but im in tbis for the long haul

 

Also monk fruit is awesome. 1:1 sugar replacement

Can put it in a blender to simulate powdered sugar

 

i ate some ribcaps last night and woo boy you need to go to your butcher and get these asap

Costco has them. They’re awesome.

 

yeah i got a pack of 4 the other day for like $60

so amazing
