A Week of Keto: Spoilers, Nobody Died

Here you go- I used 40g of coconut flour and 130 of almond based on some other recipes I saw. Turned out well enough that the kids want to make pizza crust out of it tonight. 

Low-Carb Mozzarella Dough - 4 ways

Started a week ago tomorrow.  Mild headaches for three days due to lack of sugar
Down 8 lbs in 6 days.  This upcoming week is when the fat burn kicks in.   Last few days was getting the carbs and carb retained water out of multiplensystems

Goal is to lose 40 lbs in 90 days

Gave the fat head dough a run for pizzas tonight. Family thought they were good but definitely not the same.

You can too.  

Nola told me to do it.  True story.

I knew about the ketogenic diet to treat epilepsy.  I used to sell a Neuromodulation device that treated epilepsy and docs couldn’t prescribe that device until the patients gave the ketogenic diet a six month trial.  

I also know John need to find new targets now that the Buffalo banned the Great One.  

Keto isn’t exactly a “new target” for me there champ.

all I know is I’ve been doing keto for 3 months (cheat a little on weekends) and I’m down 52 lbs, my goal is 40 more by my cruise to the Caribbean in June, should be attainable. 

But it I have noticed a loss in muscle
mass, so I’ve been working out a couple times a week at my sons gym, as well as riding the stationary bike at home and it makes a world of difference. 

Honestly if it works for you then great.  Just remember that the challenge with any diet is not so much losing the weight, but keeping it off.  So the real question is how to transition from something like this to something that’s really sustainable long term.  I’ve struggled with this sort of thing myself.

I will say that a lot of the food in this thread looks great!

Oh, the horror of posting a snippet of people raving about the life changing virtues of keto on a keto thread...

@JRWhitee yes I was at Butt Blast and saw her with the rest of the purple teeth princesses....

Adam, this is great. Thanks.

I think I’ve done about every diet known to man. Keto is easy but like someone said it’s tough to transition out of back to regular food at least for me it is and I like beer. Probably the most sustainable diet I’ve ever done is slow carb. Lost a butt load of weight and had a epic cheat day every Saturday. 

Egg made- Flank with a sugar free, Keto friendly marinade, Brussels and zucchini. Easy and tastie 

To dust off this thread and in honor of Nola’s crawfish boil I decided on a low carb jambalaya. I didn’t have shrimp or celery and was too lazy to run to the store. 

Basically follwed this recipe:

Not quite the same without rice but a very solid meal and will make again. 

I’ve lost 45 pounds with a combination of keto, intermittent fasting and 3-4 day a week workouts. I’ve plateaued out lately though. Lost another 4 pounds or so but really need to dial it in again. Trying to drop 10-15 more but these last few pounds have been hard.
