You would have to compare it under a controlled situation, where all factors are equal.

In this case, too many variables; for example: hydration level.

Hey all,

So I decided to take the past 7 days off from my keto diet and as expected, gained roughly 12 lbs. Much of that should be water, as there is no way I ate 42000 calories above maintenance...

Yes, I'm doing approx. 65% fat, 32% protein, 3% carbs and ~2K calories a day. Been doing keto now for 3 months, with 3 weeks off after the first 2 months - loving the results :)

It was a scale you stand on which you also hold rods with your hands for about 45 seconds.

Perhaps not the best tool ?

My other thought is perhaps I haven't been having as much water the past...

Hey guys,

Yesterday I went to get an official body composition report (from a doctor with one of those machines that shows your coposition broken down by body area) and it seems that though I have...

In the end I went with Black Pepper Beef and Ginger Chicken w/ Celery - so think I fared pretty well :)

Hey all,

Well looks like tonight I'm being dragged to some Dim Sum place.

What can I eat there that's keto-friendly, any thoughts?

I haven't eaten at that kind of place in ages, so don't...

This past weekend, I decided to take a day off from Keto (first one in over 2 months) for my girlfriend's birthday party.

I had a few shots of Jager, some cake and some snack foods.

Anyhow,...

I think, if you don't provide enough fat for the body's energy requirements, either you will feel very low-energy/weak or your body may even turn to burning muscle (probably after extended period of...

Forgot to put in last weeks:

Oct. 28th, 2010
Weight: 255.7 lbs
Body Fat: 28.9% (possibly not accurate)
Calories: ~2000 (134g fat, 8g carb, 160g protein, 30g fiber)
Cheated? No

Still losing,...

Unfortunately, exercise is where I'm having my problems. I haven't found to be able to motivate myself yet to hit the gym regularly.

Thus, at the moment I'm doing 3 hours of ball hockey once a...

What you did or didn't do in the past is irrelevant to your current goal to lose weight. I wouldn't even bother thinking about it or why/how it worked. Just focus on the present/future.

The above numbers would give you 1965 calories, so 145g fat = 66.4%. You could drop a few grams off, say to 140g fat.

I started with lots of cheese and bacon, fatty dressings, etc... but now have...

You said you dropped to 50g carbs a day - that's still quite a lot.

Try dropping to 10g-15g and stick with it, track every single item you eat for a few weeks, and you will lose weight.

My...

I would try bumping your calories up to 1800-2000, I think a 900 deficit is fairly large, considering you also exercise/work out.

I'd try to aim for:

145g fat
130g protein
10g carbs
25g...

Thanks, so I won't really worry about it much and just go by eat when hungry and eat until full (long as it's with my macros and below my daily target).

Hola,

I was curious about this question when reading a lot lately that "starvation mode" is pretty much a myth (at least in regards to eating every few hours).

Let's say my maintenance is 2500...

Even on days I eat only 5g of net carbs, the metallic taste comes and goes. I wouldn't worry about trying to tell if you are in keto or not; as long as you know what you are eating and stick to your...

I was just noticing I never notice many people posting about the awesomeness that is eating at Churrascarias while on Keto.

Perhaps it's not popular in North America? Though I have been to quite a...

I wish KFC in Costa Rica had the double down, but alas, they do not, so I have no reason to even venture near a KFC heh.

Only fast food I have had since being on Keto for almost 2 months now, was...
