Ketogenic Way of eating... (3 Viewers)

How's the headache? Did you get Gatorade/Powerade sugar free to keep your electrolytes up as you burn through your carb reserves?

I've always drank a lot of water, but I'm drinking even more now. Probably starting 80 ounces of water and 20-30 ounces of black coffee.

Keto bread with flax seed and sometimes kale plus a side of 32 ounces of water... Breakfast of champions.

I've been having a 24 ounce bottle of snart water that is infused with electrolytes with breakfast every morning. No headaches.

Really busy day yesterday. i didn't eat enough. By dinner time i was starting to feel like shit (i had left my snacks in my office :( ).

SAT will be the big "No Alcohol" test for me. I'm hosting a poker game. The bourbon loves to be consumed when the chips are on the table.

Serious or joking? I am not sure what the definition of an alcoholic is but I don’t think you fit. I hope I don’t!

I have been drinking more than i should. Not an alcoholic. I figure since I'm trying to eat better, work out more, that this also made since.

Having a nightly bourbon or three was becoming a routine.
 
Keto is awesome but results can happen without being so extreme.

My doctor (diabetes) told me to cut carbs 5 days a week and do whatever I wanted on the weekends.
This was to reduce my blood sugar and help fix my fatty liver.

I tried to do better than that but some days are harder than others.
Been overweight my whole life and just cutting carbs down has really started to change things.
I eat between 50-100 carbs on a good day which is a lot less than it sounds.
I eat all the cheese, meat, bacon, eggs, salads, butter, etc that I want just gotta ignore bread, chips, cookies, cake, soda, etc.
Pretty crazy when you can go to BK to get two whoppers with cheese and not feel guilty (no bun or fries.)

I lost 30 lbs so far which is a lot for me and I am not losing my mind in the process.
In addition, my blood sugar stays more stable which makes me feel better and have less mood swings.
Liver tests already show improvements.
Who would have thought that eating more fat would reduce fat?

Well, I've decided I'm not an alcoholic since I've gone seven days without a drink and I don't have the shakes. So I have already decided that I am having a bourbon or two at poker night tonight.

Congratulations on the results so far. WATER and some fruit will help you curb your appetite even more. The fruit especially will help cut down on any sugar cravings you might be experiencing.
 
Been doing lazy keto since Monday, down 7 pounds. I know it's water weight but it still feels good to be going in the right direction again.

Nice.

I finally cracked the Barrel Proof last night, and you were right - it kicks like a mule and needed just a little water.

All my beer has gone into hiding for the next 3-4 weeks until I'm ready for a cheat day.

I tried it with ice and with a little water. I preferred it with just a little water.

Sure it's almost noon, but I only got five hours of sleep after @detroitdad's game last night.

After taking care of the dogs I didn't get to bed until about 4 am. Its going to be a rough day!

I prefer these:

I'll do lettuce wraps sometimes, and I'll give chard a shot, but I won't call it a burrito. ;)

I love tortillas, and the low carb versions have gotten pretty good.
