Keto Krap

RedPillMGTOW · 2017-08-14T03:14:32+00:00

Lost 20 pounds last month but had to stop because i had a kidney stone and the docs told me that my blood sugar is too low and that i have to eat more. Rn i hate to eat carbs because they make me crave for more shitty food. Hope to get on track next week.

I had an epiphany: Life without apples is not worth it. However, the genetically super-sugary apples we have today are kind of creepy lol I wish we could have the sour+sweet ones like the nature intended.

Keto is easy. It's just like any other habit. Difficult for the first 30 days or so but easy after that. I don't even really get hungry anymore. Feel amazing. No depression, no anxiety and down 45 pounds from 220 to 175. Going down to at least 165.

I had amazing success with this one summer, but I did right. No carbs at all. As soon as you introduce carbs into your diet your body switches out of a ketogenic state. Buy the strips from Walmart, they test keytones in your urine and can tell you if you're still in ketosis. I did it for 3 weeks, and probably the hardest thing I've done. My diet was chicken, tuna, eggs, kall and cabbage. But I cut down to about 4.5% bodyfat.

Almost finished my fourth week, it's difficult to start but once you get accustomed to, it's easy.

If you had to give up so quickly over something so small, perhaps you should work on willpower. I'm probably older than many here at 35, and not working on fortitude and willpower when I was in my teens and twenties is one thing I regret.

I went trough the same objections as you did. For years. Then one day, you realize your body isn't magical anymore, and doesn't heal overnight. For several years after university, I ate myself into a carby grave, getting really chubby.

I eventually ended up on a keto diet. Eventually. After several more years, I ended up doing intermittent fasting, 16/8. After several more years, I gathered more discipline and went zero carbs on a 22/2 intermittent fasting plan. I also limit drinking to 2-3 drinks a month.

Do I wish I learnt these life lessons 10 years ago? Yeah. I'm now fitter and leaner than I've ever been in my life. In my business dealings I've learned how to command the room and meetings.

It's a long road. Carbs may work for you over the next 6 decades. I don't think it will, but that is your call. For what it is worth, on my zerocarb dirt in the last year, I eat no pants. No fruit, no vegetables. Meat is life.

It depends on your current weight and metabolism.

I'm a relatively tall and naturally skinny dude that now lifts weights. I am prey to low blood sugar if I don't eat regularly.

If I cut out carbs, I'd be a dumb ass.

My diet is roughly 1/3 each protein, carbs, and fats. And keep my portions in check.

Don't listen to snake oil sales men or desperate fat dudes and view yourself realistically, as I mentioned in being a naturally skinny dude that is bulking up.

Can't say I've ever met someone who loves fruits as much as you.

You get used to it. Food is just fuel for your body. If I can somehow live without eating, I could. If science could prove eating only soylent green is actually healthy long term, I would just do that.

elementalwalruss · 2017-08-14T09:21:28+00:00

Well i do keto with lots of veggies (well maybe not that much, but at least similar weight compared to meat and other stuff) and i also do IF for 20 hours a day. I've been having success eating some berries and fruit or maybe some honey too, though obviously not much. As in, you won't be eating 5 peaches, but 1 medium-small and some goji berries (which i really like) worked pretty good for me. And i don't really feel the need to eat more like usual. Still losing weight consistently and feeling better. It's just about not overdoing it.

Yeah I've had success with it. Went from around BMI 30 to BMI 24 in around six months.

A typical day would be

breakfast: coffee with full cream and splenda
lunch: 2 egg omelet w/cheddar, ham, green onion, fried in butter
dinner: half a plate of greens and a standard serving of protein, e.g., 2 chicken thighs/a steak/ground beef/2 lamb shoulder chops/1 pork chop/2 sausages etc.

Greens: salad, home-made coleslaw, cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, green beans, swiss chard, fried tomatoes, etc

Snacks: almonds, seeds, miso soup etc

I often skipped lunch due to not being hungry (side effect of ketosis).

If I drank it was vodka and sprite zero.

BTW you can eat apples. According to the link below a cup of apple is only 13.1g net carbs and most people aim for 20g a day (some even aim for 50g). Personally, I prefer to put my "carb budget" into vegetables for satiety reasons.

Did keto successfully for a year. Lost about 20 lbs but I was already quite thin, just wanted a healthier carbless diet to deal with my reflux disease. Biggest difference was that I was able to feel fuller for longer and the insulin spikes did not affect my mental sharpness. Reflux symptoms improved slightly.

When I got blood tests done later, my cholesterol levels were sky high (8+ total) but a good chunk of it was HDL and LDL was also above safe. Enough to confuse my doctor seeing my lean appearance. Triglycerides were sub 1. Damn proud of that.
Doc was convinced I was going to get a heart attack within 10 years and i'm in my 20's. Turns out high cholesterol runs in the family and doesn't respond well to eating meat and cheese 24/7. Made some changes since and while i'm back on carbs, I eat low Glycemic loads. And I'm well aware of the emerging research showing weak relationship with cholesterol and overall health, I did about a years research afterall. But the medical community has not caught up yet and much of these new reports are still under scrutiny.

Isn't Keto basically the same as Atkins?

walrusescapades · 2017-08-14T20:07:20+00:00

had lots of success. lost 70 lbs on it 1st time, then went off and gained 30 back. went back on, and lost 55. key is staying on it. feels good eating bacon and eggs often, and i don't miss eating sweets.

Been on it for 3 years. If fruits are all you crave, then you must be a very simple man. I failed and got back on track quite a few times.

Look up primal blueprint. Being in ketosis 24/7 is crazy.

bonusfruit · 2017-08-14T08:15:35+00:00

Buy ketones. Expensive powdery drink mixes that jump start ketosis. Those things really work
