How's all your energy levels while on Keto? 

I could use more energy and motivation, not sure if it's the gloomy grey weather or keto.

I started Keto/Atkins diet in Jan 2017 at 375 lbs.
Weight in at 298 lbs in Jan 2018, got down to 292 lbs and in April 2018 I I juried my knee  :bash: tore the meniscus and separated it from the bone, had surgery in mid June and with all the pain and lack of activity for the last 6 months, my weight went up. Last week at the Dr i weighted in at 323 lbs, so I decided to get back on the ball.
Knee still ain't right, lots of pain, but gotta do something. The Dr tells me I will have to have a total knee replacement sooner or later, but the weight has to come off before they will do.

But I am happy to say, after getting back on track, I am down 5 lbs in the last week  :tup:

My goal was and remains 250 lbs.

It takes your body some time to get adjusted to fat burning.  Adaptation involves building more mitochondria and depending on what you read that could take 6-12 months.  After that, I had plenty of energy but never bouncing off the walls followed by crashing like burning sugar.  I had no problem with multi workout days with Crossfit, rucking and whatever else I wanted to do.

Curious for you guys and gals that follow the Keto diet, do you track overall calories at all or have any idea how many you eat now versus before Keto?

I don't track calories or fat, only carbs.  I limit carbs to 35 per day.  I don't go net - only pure carbs.

You don't lose weight if you have excess calories - that is proven, however I do not lose weight on a carb-based diet.

Everyone is different.  I will say, I feel damn good when my body is in ketosis.  The transition stage can suck, but high water intake and sodium help immensely.

It's not feasible for hunting season, for me anyhow.  But that time offers a great break in the fall and pushes cravings back for months.

If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

And I eat right at 4,000 calories a day.

One cheat day per month - eat all I can, of anything I can on a Saturday, then a minor 12 hour fast on Sunday and back on Keto Sunday night.  It takes me about 36 hours to get back into Ketosis, by proof of piss sticks.

Interesting. I like carbs way too much for Keto  :chuckle:

If you dont keep track you can still get fatter. I used myfitness pal to keep track and basal metabolic rates to get in the right ballpark of how much I should eat. I was lifting weights 5x week also so was trying to balance fat loss and maximize muscle building potential. Gained a few pounds first couple months but was able to get it pretty precise to where I was staying about the same weight but improving body composition. I didnt have a ton to lose either, but eventually you will get to a point where you need to have a good idea on how much to eat calorie wise.

I've also read that Turmeric can really help, and a tbsp of ACV in the morning can help.   

The dental people warn to rinse the ACV off your teeth, or brush them right after though.

Just started yesterday. Definitely a change and excited to see how the body reacts.  :tung: A little concerned about high intensity work outs and being able to maintain but did a lot of research on athletes that have been successful on this eating plan.
Always loved warm guts on a cold morning

It turned out awesome, I tweaked the recipe because I sometimes get a alcohol/bitter flavor when using Splenda. So here is the recipe:

note this is an instapot recipe but you can use an oven bake time will be a little longer.

use a 6” spring form pan with greased walls and parchment paper on the bottom

Crust-
12 oz raw almonds- use food processor to grind until coarse consistency, think crushed graham crackers.  (Can use other nuts like cashews or hazelnutj
5 TBS melted butter

Mix until all of the almond grind is coated then add to the pan, press it to fill out the bottom of the pan then place in the freezer to set

Filling-
16 ounces of softened cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs beaten
1 TBS vanilla
1/2 cup of sweetener ( I used Splenda)
A pinch of salt

Mix until you have a nice smooth batter. Next time I may add some lemon zest also at this point. Other options would be peanut butter powder or soft dark chocolate.

Pull the crust pan out of the freezer and pour in the filling.
Add 1 cup of water to the instapot.
Cook in the instapot for 28 min on high pressure with keep warm button off.
Let it rest for 10 minutes after cooking
Then remove from the instapot and use a paper towel to remove any moisture at the edges.

Basic topping is simple, you can add berries or whipped cream.

1/2 cup of sour cream and 4 Tsp of sweetener.
Mix by hand until smooth and pour over the cheesecake.
Place it in the fridge to set up for at least 4 hours prior to serving.

I am not sure on the oven cook time or temp, I would defer to other cheesecake recipes to get a ballpark number for that.
