re: The Ketogenic Diet 2019 and FREE Keto Coaching by OleWarSkuleAlum

200 is what I’m saying I started at but it was more in the 200 to 205 range. I just posted a before and after picture for friends and family and my huge gut is completely gone.

So started at 200, at 169 this morning, goal weight is 165. Once I hit 165 I’ll decide if I want to continue dropping or start maintenance and hit the gym to start getting definition. If I decide to continue dropping the absolute lowest I want to go is 160.

for any of you that want keto fast food, look no further than Popeye's blackened tenders

3pc - 160cal, 2g carbs, 26g protein
5pc - 283 cal, 3g carbs, 43g protein

I get 2 3pc orders for $8. They are absolutely delicious and blow away CFA's shitty grilled offerings. They are spicy and very flavorful

Only drawback is you have to wait 3-4min for them

im more carnivore than keto, im all about high protein low carbs

Agreed. The beautiful thing is my company provides dietician services for free so I plan on working with them to give me a meal plan I can stick with to maintain.

Not to hate on dieticians but the majority have zero idea wtf they are talking about. If you’re going to go off Keto I would use something like Avatar nutrition...

How did everyone’s week end up?

Solid. I did drink a couple of beers Saturday, but I kept carbs under 20. It took effort, but I got it done. Thank you Mich Ultra

Today marks the beginning of Week 4: I am down on the scale 14 lbs, 265-251 but I am in that transition zone form fat to muscle. I am way stronger than 3 weeks ago. My jeans, 40 waist, were fitting me just right on new years. Yesterday, I could fit them at my belly button. My fat is all in my torso especially my belly. My shirts hang down to my junk instead of at or just below my belt.

I feel great, the eating and meal prep is getting easier. My wife looks and feels fantastic!!

The only thing I did wrong last week was have a cocktail or 3 every night, because we had company for dinner every night. This week, we are going in to lock down mode.

Yeah, the macros were fine.

but remember it halts all fat burning until it metabolizes all the alcohol.

I know. that's why we are going dry this week. Last time I dropped weight, once I got to the muscle building stall on the scale, the fat came right off. I'm excited. I'm ready to be thin again.

Stayed within macros all week except for the pizza night. Ketones dropped from 4ish to 1.9, but started climbing again the day after. Have to keep an eye extra hard bc my watch is feeding my workouts into MFP and showing I have more calories, etc bc of what i burn during the workouts.

Scale has been kinda stagnant at the 18-20lbs mark, but i attribute it to muscle building as I'm back lifting in the gym.

Congrats to everyone on their progress!

I need advice. I go to the gym very early in the morning. I don’t have a lot of time, so I usually just down a bulletproof coffee and I’m on my way. Is this okay? Should I try to eat something before? Does it matter if it’s a cardio day vs weights vs yoga? I want to maximize the effect of my workout and am getting mixed reviews on eating before or after my workout and what to eat. TIA

Just keep it up and make sure you are tracking your macros. The weight loss is not 100% linear.
