More protein.. MOAR!!

1g per pound of lab body mass. Protein will help with satiety, slightly increase metabolism (protein is harder to digest..were talking 3-4% increase at best so don't get too excited), and help you keep muscle while you lose fat, which also helps fight metabolic slowdown while dropping weight.

About 40% of your calories should come from protein. This is especially important as you increase workout volume and intensity.

You're making improvements and learning. It's a learning process. I've been trying to lose this weight for 6 fricking years now.. trust me, I understand the struggle.

Keep implementing small changes and you absolutely will keep seeing results. Our suggestions are just that.. suggestions. We have your best interest in mind but ultimately you have to do you. Compliance is the #1 factor.

I suggest you peek at my mfp diary over the last couple of weeks to get some ideas for increasing protein. I get 180+grams a day in, and I usually only have 1 shake at 32g. It's a high volume of food.

What else would be the equivalent of 8 egg yolks?

I saw something about smoked salmon.

I'll absolutely make a salmon spread with the cream cheese and shmear it on cucumber or some kind of veggie chip.

That would be good. It would make the fast a lot easier. Just plug it into a calculator to make sure the protein doesn't get too high and you're golden.

I'll let 777 answer that one. I'm not sure if a fat fast would have the same terrible hormonal implications for me as IF, so I've never tried. When are you thinking about starting?

Yea just replace the egg yolks with anything with similar protein and fat macros. Salmon and cream cheese works just watch cals the first day with that. The goal is 1200 cals with a min of 80% from fat for somebody your size.

As far as days 4&5, yea it's a transition back to maintenance while staying Keto. So something like this assuming your maintenance is 2500 cals

Day1-1200 cals@90%fat
Day2-1300 cals@85%fat
Day3-1400 cals@80%fat
Day4-1700 cals@75%fat
Day5-2000 cals@70%fat
Day6-2200 cals@65%fat
Day7-2400cals with 800 coming from carbs. Rest are split 50/50 pro/fat. Carbs should be in a four hour time frame. Enjoy it. Or you could stay Keto here if you plan to repeat the next week at a 65% fat ratio

Now I must stress this is for and your size. A true fat fast for somebody like evil or other woman would be more strict at around 1000 cams day1 to 1200 day 3. Also this should not be done for more than 5 days. Technically it can be done for up to ten days at 1000 cams without losing muscle but I don't advice it until you have done it at least 3-4 rounds.

Woman can do this just need to keep fasting window to a max of 12 hours so atmeast a late breakfast. It's so short a timeframe the hormones don't really shift and those that do are back to normal within 24 hours or so.

Net try it out and tell us what you think. Also the higher the fat % the better it works.

Thanks for the info. That is very helpful. I'm going to research & give it a try.

I didn't realize you had significant health problems either. You shouldn't produce ketones on Avatar, it's not low carb.

The little bit of googling I did put much comes up saying that high protein diet on one kidney is fine as long as that kidney is healthy. But that's just Google and I'm no doctor. I'd consult a doctor about a high protein diet.
