The KETO thread

[Naches Sportsman]

Keto is a sustainable diet. I’ve been on it for 13 months and have had great success. I went from 239 last January to 190 today.

It’s a lifestyle. I’ve enjoyed it.

Is Busch Lite Keto approved?

Yes, per my revised Keto Plan!

I have one cheat meal a month; there may or may not be large amounts of Busch Lite consumed.

Any of you guys check your vitals after being on KETO like cholesterol etc?  My wife is an RD and does not recommend it for anyone but people who need to control seizures.  I guess if you can stick with it more power to you!

Full physical about half way because it was just that time. No issues with anything doctor was very happy with the weight loss, and did not say to change anything.

Been on keto since July. Keto is actually pretty easy. Stick to the basics: meat and veggies. We do a lot of taco salads, chicken wings, stroganoff (no noodles), burgers, steak, chicken thighs, pork chops, etc.

[ghosthunter]

We do stuffed squash too.

[Sliverslinger]

I start Monday. Excited but it is a bit daunting to know where to begin. Not looking forward to the Keto flu but hoping to realize some of the results I’ve seen in other folks I know who have done it.

Ive went hard from july through end of august. Now ive been off and on since then. Planning on hopping back on monday. I like how we all put our new years resolution off for a week or so  I started at 214, got down to 184, now im around 190. I felt the best when i was being real strict. Sustained energy, good sleep, clear skin were the biggest for me. It helped with dandrufI tracked everything for first month until yout figure out what food contains what %. I have the pee strips and could cheat pretty bad for a day and remain in "ketosis " after going Hard for awhile. Bacon, eggs, avocado, cheese, berries, salads. Cook with lotsa good butter/ coconut oil/ avocado oil/ mct oil. A few berries and whipped cream ate a great dessert. Elk or deer with veggies seared hot in cast iron was my go to and family favorite. Buffalo chicken dip was a good treat for me. 10 oz chicken ( canned or rotisserie) shredded, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup cheese, good dose of franks red hot, with slightly less then a dose of ranch. Mix all together, sprinkle a little more cheese on top. Bake at 350 til bubbling. Then broil until barely charring on top.  I dip celery sticks in it. Also, google fat bombs. Not all are tasty but some are very good and easy. Spinach salad with blue cheese crumbles,  balsamic dressing, cheese,and fresh veggies from the garden and maybe an egg was a game changer that you can add or subract whatever . Sauteed oysters with garlic butter and hot sauce. Crab. Shrimp. Oh.... miller light has like 3 or 4 carbs per can. My drink of choice,  whiskey and diet, has no carbs. We had some "truly" drinks. They are like flavored sparkling water with booze in it, and very few carbs. They are girly but good when you want to take the edge off. I never had keto flu, but people i know did. Make sure to to take some sorta electrolyte supplement especially if you are exercising. Good luck to all ! It works well for me personally but not for everyone.

Never had the KETO flu and to not know anyone that did.

A neighbor tried it.  He had what we called the fog.  That lack of bread really slowed him down and became really forgetful.
