Your carbs seem pretty high. You didn't list how much is fiber, but you should be looking to keep it below 20g/day for the first two weeks, and maybe go up to 30g/day after that. Everyone is different, but 57 is too high for the first two weeks. Drop that tortilla for sure.

[rtr87]

I dropped the tortilla so forgot to subtract that basically im sitting close to 35-40 carbs a day about 90% of them from fiber.

On a side note just got back from grocery store and total amount for 1 weeks worth of food $80.00 including dextrose.

[timmymayes]

Remember fiber grams just dont count' So if you are getting 40 carbs but 30 of them are from fiber you are actually only getting 10g of carbs as far as the "20g-30g" recommendation goes. Other than that looks like you are not half assing the macro & calorie counting. Kudos. I"ll catch you on the skinny side.

Yeah depending on what you choose to eat things can get expensive. For me I spend about 40 but i only eat 1900 a day. To help offset costs you could try this, I saved money on accident by doing it. I eat 5 meals a day + a shake with 30g dex 30g whey. All of my meals are about 350 calories however I have read on other diets, and i'm sure it works on this diet I believe too, that it can be a good idea to have your last meal smaller and your first meal bigger. So I have my last meal just be all natural peanut butter 2 tbs for 210 calories and i add the 140 caloires onto my breakfast. Well eggs are cheap and PB is cheap so I can cover a weeks worth of 2 of my meals for about $15 then i have 2 salads with chicken breasts which is not too expensive and then a can of tuna or a small serving of beef w/ veggies completes out my meals. I over bought my first time out getting pork tenderloin and sausages and eggs and bacon and hamburger and tons of the stuff for my salad. Just keep an eye out for little ways to adapt the diet and it doesn't have to be too expensive.

Also if you plan on doing keto for a longer time you can get a bulk 5lbs bucket of dextrose for $10.00 online at this meat curing website (its used for sugar curing pork i think). PM me if you want the link.

Just woke up for day2 of the diet gotta compete with work today since i dont have the day off like yesterday. Already feel less bloated not sure if its from the lack of carbs or what. bout to hit the gym up ill report how feel after that I do feel sore though and I didnt work out yesterday. Oh yea and dry mouth kinda sucks.

day 3.following same meal plan as day 1 havent experience any abnormal side effects or anything at all. Maybe a little more tired than usual? post more progess as it develops.

Something postivie at least weighed in at 186.5lbs today which is 3lbs less than my usual which is 189.5lbs might be all water weight but im noticeing a difference in my apperance and my pants are fitting better.

[rtr87]

completed my first week on the diet went from 189.5 lbs to 184.5 lbs in 5 days, wasnt to bad at all. Currently changing my meal plan this week cant do any more turkey patties, will update as progress changes.

[MarkVI]

hey man! Nice job -- can I suggest you eat as much red meat as possible?

It is the most anabolic food and it will boost testosterone and it provides vitamins and other good stuff you won't get anywhere else.....do it do it do it!

I ea 1 pound a day at least (usually 96% lean @ 150 calories per 4 oz) but I cook it up with a little no sugar ketchup, taco seasoning or sour cream etc to keep it interesting.....

Everyone pushes the really fatty hamburger but I don't like it too much, i just get more fat when I put cheese and mayo with it.

i know cops like fast food, my older sibling were into the cop scene in a program called "explorers" not sure if you're familiar or not but....anyways, they always ate fast food and I see cops going through the drive through....MCD's and anywhere else for that matter is just fine for use if you leave off the bun and ketchup/tomatoes/onions.....so if you're in a jam...fast food becomes a decent choice for this diet.


Hey, i have a legal question, mind if I pm it to you?
