The KETO thread

[Timberstalker]

This is interesting information.  I can say with certainty (even though Vande may disagree  ) that my body doesn't respond well to a diet containing carbs.  It is possible for me to lose weight with carb intake, however when I go low carb it responds way quicker!

The biggest thing I notice is water retainment while on carbs.  When I am in Ketosis I cannot quench my thirst!  A gallon of water a day doesn't touch it!

Great thread with solid information.

  My guess, and its just a guess, is that going low carb alows you to more easily be in a caloric deficit. Very similar to how people think intermittent fasting is anything more than just a schedule of eating. Studies have shown that it really just ends up being that majority of people are just better able to eat less calories each day when on a schedule.

Or maybe it's because Busch Lite and Cheetos HAVE CARBS IN THEM!!!
NO WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT ON CARBS!!!

I would guess for some people that eating grains causes water retention and/or bloating. Which would have a negative effect on weight loss. I know I get really bloated.

to start yes but water retention wouldn't hinder long term weight loss

Carbs turn to glucose which requires water to attach before it can be stored.

All I was saying is a body isn't going to continue to retain more and more water.

Depending on how many cinder blocks you attach to it, oh wait, never mind......

For those looking for recipes, here is a good thread on the bodybuilding.com nutrition forum.

Where the water weight loss occurs with Keto is the fact that every glycogen molecule will pick up to 4 water molecules for storage.  So when you burn out the glycogen in your system you are releasing water at a 4 to 1 ratio.  If you minimize glycogen, you reduce the bodies water retention.  Thats why if you eat a bunch of carbs you will see a proportional weight gain.  Most glycogen is stored in your liver as well as muscle tissue. The liver takes longer to burn out.  As a side that is why more water is required during KD and salt is important for another means to retain water in the body.

MOD pizza in N. Spokane does not have Cauliflower pizza crust.   I asked for it specifically, they only have the gluten free pizza crust which has a ton of carbs.

Made country fried moose cubed steaks for dinner tonight. Used pulverized pork rinds for the breading. It was pretty good.

Nice. Using pork rinds right on on some sockeye.

[KFhunter]

made some crackers

3/4c mozz cheese melted in a bowl
blend in:
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp chives
1 egg
1/4c almond flour
1/4c coconut flour
1/2 tsp salt

mix it good together put in ziplock and pop in the fridge 20 mins, I smash it flat so it cools quicker. 


about 1 tbsp per cracker, smash it flat to about 1/8 inch or less.  I use a tortilla press but not the handle it smashes it too much, just smack the top of the tortilla press.  Sandwich the cracker between two pieces of release foil or parchment paper. 







arrange on a cookie sheet, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle a bit of salt on top. 



bake 400 until turning brown on the edges, let cool they'll stiffen up more. 



dip away!
