Nobody in here interested in Atkin's fella.

righto Lario.

Did the bollox over the weekend, and did a double nite. Was 184lbs exactly Saturday morning, and tipped in at 187.6lbs this morning. Expected a lot worse tbh, so back on the wagon again today.

 

That display on Saturday would drive anyone to carbs!

[Woo]

Swerved a cheat night even though there was loads going on over the weekend, particularly the NFL starting proper on Sunday, and I'm down 7lbs in 12 days, and that's still hovering at around 65% fats (and keeping below 20g of carbs most days; sometimes it might be around 30g).

 

What's the score with drinking, lads? Can I have a few rum and diet mixers once or twice a week and still stay in ketosis? Ordered some ketostix to keep track.

Well I've started on the keto diet. Not going bad as it's only my first day.

 

Had an omelette for breakfast followed by seven almonds. Just finished of 6 small chicken pieces with cheese grated on top.

 

So does anyone know of a good website for preparing meals especially breakfast?

I'm on holiday, obviously boozing but not eating bread, potatoes or pasta. No fucking way I'm in Ketosis but trying to as 'good' as I can. Now I know I can do the 9 days I'll start again when I get back. Also running 4 miles every day, left today at 10:30 on a cloudy morning by 10:31 it was full fucking sun and roasting. Being a dumb cunt I didn't take any water.

Congrats on the weight loss. It's mental when you think about it, isn't it? Shovel in the fat, and it falls off. You can see why Andy and myself were just telling fellas to get stuck into it. It's hard to get people to believe it, but once they've tried it, they become an advocate for it.

There's no problem skipping the cheat night. That yer man's way of doing it. Original keto is just keto only. Carb Nite has some science behind it and is good for sanity. If you find the weight loss slows down a bit, have a blowout to kick things on again.

As for drinking, fill yer boots with spirits and diet drinks. Not flavoured vodkas and stuff. Just plain ol', high volume vodka, rum, gin, tequila, brandy, cognac, whiskey, scotch, etc.

Cheers mate, buzzing with how it's gone so far; it's been much easier - particularly that first nine days of transitioning - than I expected. Just needs a bit of planning to be disciplined and keep on track, but I'm a great cook anyway so I've been eating like a king; I had roast duck for tea on Friday, and steak on Saturday and Sunday! The weight is shifting even though I've been eating late at night a good few times, often having to do it to get closer to my macros for the day, but there's not even been a change in routine so it makes things even better.

 

It's honestly just been a case of cutting convenient carbs out of my diet, namely bread, and replacing them with more veg. So with breakfast having tomatoes and spinach with my bacon and eggs instead of two pieces of toast. Not even missing rice and noodles as much as I thought I would. Been regulating my caffeine intake, no more than two cups of coffee a day then I switch to tea. Buying a water filter made a massive difference to how easy it is to drink at least two litres of water a day, too.

 

Gonna get back in the gym properly in the next week or so, it will be interesting to see how my body responds, might have to ease myself in to it.

 

Thanks for all the help and advice.

I still think the 'ket' diet will make you lose weight quicker.

Add double cream and stir.

 

Spoon that fucking chocolate ganache down!

 

Rediculous.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Had a bit of a carb day the last two weekends and to be honest it just made me crave carbs all week when I wasn't craving them anymore. Not sure the carb loading thing is for me. For me, keto will be used for a cut, with more 'traditional' macros (40/40/20 P/C/F) used for a bulk.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

The question for me is will I be able to go back to eating 'normal' amounts of cheese, cream, butter. So fucking delicious.

[Gym Beglin]

Go to the carbnite web page, and it's pretty convincing.

 

The trick is to keep it to one night tho, don't creep into day two, for best results.

I've been craving a pizza like crazy. More than I have ever craved any other food. Sunday. Sunday night I will eat a pizza and a tub of ice-cream. It will be glorious. I'm 1lb off my target before I switch to bulking anyway. 10lbs off in about 4 weeks. Can start to see the outline of ab muscles, only in the right lighting though.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

After reading carb night I now want to have 2 boxes of donuts aswell. Maybe have to scale it down a bit as he probably weighed twice what I do. I'll have to settle for one box of donuts. With pizza and ice cream.

Been doing this diet since Monday and I must say I thought the hunger pangs would get the better of me. But I've been drinking water more than I usually do and alls going well.

 

A couple of questions

What if I wanted to get back to the gym and wanted to use a protein drink? Is it a wise move?

 

And what about me chewing gum??

Im no expert on this as i dont know the diet but i see no reason protein shakes would be a issue.

Ill post a link to a really nice brand though some on here may know more about the brand names and contents etc. Could try meal replacment drinks too but they are higher in calories

Some of the flavours are amazing

 

 

The only issue i have ever heard about with gum is that it can cause trapped wind`

[stringvest]

protein shakes should be fine, providing you get the very low carb ones. 

[Lario]

Protein drinks are grand. But like Stringy said, watch the carbs. Calories aren't overly important.

Just chopped up a quest bar, and dropped it in 2 squares of dark chocolate, 20g butter, 1 tbsp double cream.

 

Fuck.

[macdadi112]

So what if any yoghurt do you get?

 

was going to bye some but tesco sticks quite a bit.... and I couldn't be bothered to read the lot of them.

Apparently, full fat Greek Yoghurt is what you should go for.

 

Can't confirm though as I don't eat yoghurt.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Cream cheese, extra mature cheddar, brocolli & green beans, chicken, encona west indian extra hot sauce. All in a pan.

 

Great.
