Starting Keto Tomorrow - I don't agree with the diet but I feel out of options
Posted on 10/31/16 at 3:04 pm
Posted on 10/31/16 at 3:04 pm
Any Keto folks here that can critique/advise my diet plan?
I plan on eating this the next few days:
Breakfast:
2 hard boiled eggs, 2 egg whites mixed into egg salad with dijon mustard
1/2 avocado
Lunch:
Rotisserie chicken breast with skin
Raw carrots
Walnuts
Snack:
Celery with almond butter
Dinner:
Salmon (or other lean meat)
Braised kale
Roasted vegetable (Going to make roasted butternut squash and brussell sprout salad)
I've had 20 extra pounds to lose for almost a decade. Seems like every time I touch a carb, I just gorge until I eat over my calorie limit. I've never tried a diet plan. Maybe this will work.

Ketogenic diets are great for dropping LBs. But I recommend adding to it the principles of intermittent fasting. You will drop more weight than you can imagine. I start all clients on it as a kickstart.
Eat from noon to 8 PM each day. Thats it. 3 meals. Lots of veggies and protien.

Transfer some of that effort to the gym

I do hit the gym. And the track. I just end up eating more especially when I get hungry, I shovel sugary foods into me.

Do it with some intermittent fasting. Drink coffee and water to hold you over until noon and don't eat after 8pm.
You'll feel like a million bucks every morning. Get up 30 minutes earlier in the morning and go for a walk.

I was planning this too. I basically do this already.

well for starters, I'd avoid the carrots. It's one of the higher carb veges you can consume. stick to green vegetables. No reason to eat "lean" meat per se because you need the fat on a keto diet.
what kind of carb limit are you shooting for? typically keto consists of <30 carbs per day. Based on that plan, you're going to be hungry simply because there isn't much fat in there to help keep you satiated.
I would highly suggest you over salt everything. Your first week is going to be rough and you need to pay close attention to your salt/potassium/magnesium levels if you want to avoid keto flu.

I didn't really have a carb limit. Just...extreme limit I guess. I was thinking about adding a lot of bacon into my diet, but I'm not a big fan of the ingredients used to cure it. Don't want to go overboard on nitrates.

I think you should really do some more research on keto before you jump in or you're going to be in for a bad time.
read this, it will give you good information if you're serious.

It's a good plan. Substitute the carrots (sugar) with Broccoli or cauliflower.
Drink plenty of water and do light aerobic exercise for 20 min x 3 days a week. You'll likely lose @ 10 lbs. by this time next week pretty easy.
Sugar is the fricking devil.

I'd avoid all the veggies and nuts for the 1st 2 weeks to get in ketosis. Then you can slowly add a few low carb veggies back in like turnip greens, brocoli, or asparagus.

uncured bacon exists and it tastes better anyway

Honestly replace a couple meals with a huge green tea with honey. I used to weigh 270 lbs, im 6'7 so I wasn't a lard arse, anyways, I weigh 215 now I just added 3 large green tea with honey a day and they keep me full and I dont get too hungry now. I've been doing this for 2 years now and have kept the weight off its been a great replacement for meals and surprisngly fills you up if you get a huge mug.

Doldil is right on time with his advice. Screw the lean meats.. tons of water, green veggies ( avoid carrots, especially cauliflower). Make coconut oil your go to for cooking, put it in your coffee if you drink it. Could take awhile to get into ketosis. Know if you have a cheat day after achieving ketosis, expect a 5-8 lb weight water gain until your kidneys can dump it. Unsweetened tea, water. You may be one of the fortunate ones that can drink diet sodas and achieve ketosis.. I was not one of them. It's easy to follow if you just push away the bread, pasta, rice. Naked wings, steak, Ground beef. I'll snack on nuts, protein bars from Costco ( watch the carbs in some of these). Good luck.

But what does this mean for after the diet?
I lose 20 pounds, go back to eating a balanced diet with less calories, I gain 10 pounds back of water weight?

Healthy person on suppose to eat 9 eggs a week. That's a lot of eggs

Get back on track and back into ketosis. You'll piss that water out in no time.
