Keto dieters, what are you having for lunch.

It would be interesting to see one of you guys planning to do long term keto do before and During blood work

Im going in for blood work in two weeks. If not I have my yearly blood work from last august and again this august to compare. I will share the changes.

I got terrible Charlie horses on keto cause I wasn't taking any potassium. I had to just on that right away

Meat has a ton of potassium you should be good

I'll cheat with a banana every few days. That kills the sweet tooth too.

i went from 229lbs to 207 at my lowest on keto. then i stopped around christmas because there was just too many temptations, and huge meals i was a part of. then i just consumed "normal" since then til about two weeks ago and got back to like 215 or so, and was just hovering around 215 no matter what i did. 12-15 beers in a day... pizza... etc.

now im back in ketosis for about a week now

My problem with keto is I'm so damn hungry I end up eating a dozen eggs and 3lbs of meat a day lol can't afford keto, in the past I've used it for a month or so at a time to drop that last 10lbs while on a 2-3 month long diet

It's definitely a frustrating diet as I have been on it for about a month and I had lost 10 pounds but it fluctuates as now it's only 5 pounds. However, I can see and feel I have lost some weight in my face as well as my thighs. I have had my macros adjusted a few times but nothing steady as of yet. I'm not giving up as the guy at work has lost 125 pounds in the last year. Not saying I need that much I just like seeing results.

Most experienced ketoers will tell you to ignore the scale. I personally have went in 3 holes on my belt (need new pants now), and everything i have is fitting much better. Im wearing shirts I havent worn in years. So its working even if the scale is yoyoing.

I don't know. I thought I was doing good

Depends on how much meat your eating, red meat has roughly 10% of your daily potassium in 3 oz, one big steak should be close to your daily needed amount, if you think your low on potassium you should have it checked, high or low potassium can really mess you up much more than some cramping

25lbs down as of today's morning shit. And yesterday I ate a Wendy's Dave's triple with cheese for lunch (no bun), and a three fried eggs and 10 pieces of bacon for dinner. I also snack on some Atkins bars and chocolate squares.

This fucking diet rocks.

 

[RICH17]

except for the no beer thing

 

[Yaj Yak]

i can drink a few michelob ultra's and stay in ketosis typically

 

[RICH17]

if I drink then I drink like a fish. One or two isn't in my vocab

 

[Yaj Yak]

vokka drinks are my go to.

2-3 mich ultra's can be my beer fix erry now and then.

 

[TCG Member 5219]

I just don’t drink so that doesn’t bother me.

 

[Yaj Yak]

so breakfast stuff, i normally eat 3-4 eggs, scrambled or sunny side up, sometimes with bacon or sausage, but some times i dont have time to make that at home.

[TCG Member 5219]

I just drink an atkins shake for breakfast and then a super fatty lunch. Then usually boiled eggs or some sort of baked chicken breast for dinner. Or sometimes I skip dinner. I’m down 34lbs now.

Going to give those a try, usually make my own with egg beaters and sausage links....

Going to get back to doing the Keto as soon as I get through the groceries I bought over the weekend.

i guess one thing ive noticed i do differently than most people posting about keto on here, is veggies, i eat a FUCK ton of veggies. im not getting a double double double cheee from micckeyy d's and calling it good... i eat a bag of freezer veggies and protein.
