Message: <blockquote data-quote="raider" data-source="post: 221547" data-attributes="member: 353">thank you...  it has been really easy to maintain - haven't been over 200# for more than a few day since the first week of january...  once i got into ketosis, i felt better than i had in years, and want to stay in or get back into as quickly as possible when i do carb up...  carbs make me feel bad - keto makes me feel good - pretty easy to do what makes me feel good now...  i know it will sound crazy, but when i'm in ketosis, i'm rarely hungry...  i've gone entire weekends without eating - only to fall on my face when monday rolls around and i have limited energy, so i avoid that now even when not hungry - especially sundays...  i did no exercise at all - still don't...  my weight loss is ALL nutrition...after doing research, i downloaded "my fitness pal" on my phone and tracked all my meals on that...  it has a lot of preset meals, but you can also build your own foods and use those to track what you eat...  it will give you a running total of your daily macros and cut it down per meal...  i know this might sound crazy but when i started keto i guessed my calories were bout 4 to 5000 per day...  i started with a goal of 1750 calories per day to start, then cut it to 1500, then 1250 when i was well adjusted...  when i'm serious now i rarely hit 1000 calories per day and have more energy than i need or ever remember having...  fat is your energy source and that can come from the food you eat or your body...  when you first start, you will prolly get the "keto flu" - an adjustment period from your body switching from glucose to ketones  - lots of vids on this...  mmmmmmmm beer...  figured i'd drank enough to float a ship, so was up for a change...  i still like my buzz, so i switched to booze which is carb free...  my go to drink now is vodka with some lemon concentrate and water...  nestles makes flavored waters and i mix the lemon flavored instead of just plain water for drinks - bout 3 or 4 per night - almost every night...  my average daily diet now is as follows - never ate breakfast, still don't...lunch - protein source - 4 to 8 oz (any meat, chicken or fish) maybe some cheese...dinner - protein source 4 to 8 oz, + a salad with dressing, cheese, nuts...a few drinks at night...  i'll post a couple of vids of guys i like to follow...  the first 1 is the shirtless (usually) guy i mentioned above...  he is a no bs guy and has some really good info...  the second is a dr that i've followed from my start...  i think i remember him having over 25000 patients on keto over the past 20 years or so and is also a no bs guy that i've learned a lot from...  1 of the things that really turned me on to this diet is that no huge company has rights to it - no supplements - no pills - no prepared foods - no membership to buy...  it was developed by 2 doctors named finney and voles? to reduce seizures in epileptic kids many years ago...  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_X5NjLz2J0" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_X5NjLz2J0</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5w-PyeJOrs" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5w-PyeJOrs</a>- - - Updated - - -keto is basically changing your body's fuel source from glucose (carbs and sugar (which your body turns into sugar)) to ketones...  if you lower your carbs to bout 30 grams per day, you will enter ketosis...  any diet that reduces your carbs enough will do this...green leafy vegetables (not root like potatoes and carrots) are "good carbs" and is where you get your vitamins and minerals...  through research i got a list of vitamins i take to to supplement what i lost from cutting the fruit and veggies i used to eat...  i can get that list if you want...</blockquote>
