I've gotta jump on something
Have any of you tried the Keto diet
- Thread starter cli-terminator
- Start date
I didn’t Cimpare the strips to the meter. But it did show my ketones after a 3 day fast and after eating some fried chicken it went right back down. So it seems to work.
I’m just tryin to see what foods don’t kick you out of ketosis.
Read up on it. The strips can be inaccurate at times. Most accurate when you wake up
i did this diet but with 4 cheat meals per week and still lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. cutting carbs is the truth as far as weight loss goes.
Good point - many people overdo it with their daily carb' intake (who are non-keto with their diet).
Watch the Magic Pill on Netflix all the motivation u need!!
Check out the thread titled “How I lost 40 pounds in 62 days”. That was basically a keto diet. But more specifically, it was a PSMF.
Well shit...I came into say... nevermind...u already did...I'm out.. brah
did IF and keto. lost 50 in 3 mos.
3 meals a day is bullshit. corporate standards to make profit and fda is full of shit. unless you have a job that requires 10 hours of hard labor.
eat less.
carbs for sub saharan people are not digested the same. our history wasnt heavy on it but we came here and started eating that bullshit. why so many of us are diabetic.

There are several keto groups on Facebook, vids on YouTube, blogs etc. I may post some books later. If you have Amazon Prime or kindle unlimited there are several recipe books available. I just bought a waffle iron so I could learn how to make chaffles.
I'm considering it per a suggestion from @DJCandle in this thread:
The hardest part for me would be cutting out sugar-- I am a sugar fiend. Especially for my drinks-- Juice, tea, coffee. Everything. I am not a water guy. No more burgers would be a distant second.
What simple diet has worked best for you?
Describe it in 10 words or less, elaboration allowed if people have questions.

Healthy substitutions
I've been drinking a lot of fruit juice lately-- not even the good shit which still has too much sugar, but more like Hawaiian Punch type fruit juice. So I started drinking a lot of tea this week, trying to have something more flavorful than water but still healthy. I used to put a good amount...

I lost close to 20lbs in less than a month and a half just by doing intermittent fasting and not eating foods high in carbs. Simple way to do this is to limit your daily carb intake to less than 100 per day. (look at the labels of products you eat and drink outside the home). If you see that you are not losing weight any longer (plateau) then lower your carb intake to 80 max per day. My wife was doing no more than 24 carbs per day. She lost so much weight, she started looking like a teenager. Also, needless to say, stop eating and drinking sugary stuff.
I love sugar too, but if you want to be healthy, you need to cut it out. What you can use is a sugar substitute. The one that tastes the best (IMHO) is Anthony's Erythritol Granules. Zero carbs and it tastes great, Do not get the one with the Monk Fruit additive. It leaves an aftertaste (again IMHO).
Folks who want to understand why its important to stop consuming sugars and things with carbs should look at this video.

Id start here. Literally go episode by episode. Listen for a few weeks, THEN start.
Check out this podcast: 2 Keto Dudes #2KetoDudes
Tons of science, associated studies, but very informal explanation, recipes and experiences.
Also throw in some intermittent fasting. Once you are fat adapted and you hit about 120-150g fat, NOT eating for 16 hours from evening through the am is relatively easy.
Books: The obesity code, The bulletproof diet, my big fat surprise, the art and science of low carbohydrate living.
Also use a macros app, like mymacros+ or MyFitnessPal, it helps with caloric tracking. Most will be shocked at how many carbs most of us actually eat.
Easy way to lose 50 pounds, in 6 months. if you can make it through the first week or two without all the carbs.

Even 100 is a lot and most of us should easily be able to hit that number... good shit bro!
How Ketosis Works
The ketogenic diet was originally designed to treat epilepsy, but it's now become a popular weight-loss plan, in part because its focus on fat can make you feel fuller than on other diets.
When your body has used up all the available carbs it would normally burn for fuel, it starts burning ketones — a form of energy made from fatty acids. It takes a few days to fully enter a ketogenic state, during which a majority of the energy your body burns comes from ketones and not from carbs.
As your body is entering ketosis, you might experience side effects collectively dubbed "keto flu," which can include fatigue, upset stomach, headache and dizziness, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. These symptoms are most common when a person is first entering ketosis and usually subside once the body has adjusted to burning ketones instead of carbs.
The most accurate way to know if you're in a ketogenic state is to test your blood or urine using test strips, available at drug stores and online.
But some people say they feel differently when they're in ketosis, too. "You can usually tell," says Franziska Spritzler, RD, author of The Low-Carb Dietitian's Guide to Health and Beauty. "You're not as hungry."

The low-carb ketogenic diet allows only minimal sugar to stay in the fat-burning state of ketosis. Here's what might happen when you eat sugar while going keto.
Has anyone here tested to see if they are in a ketogenic state?
I get that the dude said "You can usually tell." But I'm wondering.
Good stuff
Shit seems strenuous.
