3-month results on a Keto diet (zero carb)

[FFCKH]

What's up guys

Here's what I did in the last three months:

- Zero carbs (occasional carb refills on Sundays... Usually Chipotle burritos - I love it)
- working out pretty much everyday, except if really tired
- for 1-2 months I walked (low intensity) on the treadmill
- quit the booze (by far the hardest part)

Right now I'm eating a little bit of carbs and trying to maintain the bodyfat level. Then I'll take out the carbs again and hopefully shock the body and make it burn more, specially under the belly button.

I've started lifting "seriously" this year. I know I still have a lot to develop, especially in the chest, and I'm doing my best to address it.

Thanks

Damn bro congrats shiz is dramatic.
Got me thinking about keto more and more lol
But no carbs is just to damj hard

Awesome transformation man! Make me want to try keto, was it hard to adapt to it?

[dejuan23]

as someone who's doing keto for a couple weeks now (just for ****s before summer starts/i start bulking since it's hard to lift and eat srs during finals), it depends. i never got the "keto flu" most people talk about. but i think thats because i normally dont eat a crazy amount of carbs to begin with. if you're a meat eater (no homo) it should be pretty easy/fun, especially as a diet. though it can be annoying cuz sometimes you DO want to eat carbs from time to time

Thanks man. I didn't monitor it closely, but around 18 pounds.

Not really!! I had a bad migraine in the third day but after that it was very easy. Also it's easier to follow cause you don't spend a lot of time preparing yams, pasta, rice or whatever carbs haha

damn, strong gains for 3 months

Nice bro

[johnnyj411]

Real nice job for 3 months!

[illimitable]

[Rcorn]

Awesome job repped!

You don't have to cut carbs to lose weight. Carbs are a perfered enegry source over fat. I don't know why people suffer through low carb diets. No point, just eat less. That's all the science to losing weight. Regardless good job.

[SdvsB]

Ps michelob ultra, 95 cals, 2.5 carbs. You'll never look like jay cutler so live your life and drink a ****ing beer every now and then.

[FFCKH]

I wasn`t suffering that much man. As I said for one who doesn`t like to live in the kitchen cooking all the time this diet may be a good solution...

Amazing work bro. Literally such a great job!

Mind posting if you counted calories? I am in my first week of keto, and I've lost the water weight. I'm doing targeted ketogenic diet, so having approx 40g carbs before workout only - weight training with a tiny bit of cardio after.

I'm not sure if I should measure calories...

You know what, I completely agree, but I think the thing with keto is that it turns you into a fat burning machine, because well, the body MUST turn to fat, especially to fuel the brain via ketones, where as regular ingestion of carbohydrates will inhibit fat mobilisation. And carbs can get addictive, some studies have shows a bidirectional link between a hormone which means when you eat carbs, you crave more. But I definitely agree with your statement - zero carbs is not a must for fat loss

I managed to lose 55lbs without cutting carbs out, but I was at a very high BF percentage. Now I am leaner (though still a fatty), I am finding it difficult to cut. I am aiming for fat loss of 1-1.5lbs/week hopefully.

Could i know what foods were you eating during the diet? I am a vegeterian, trying to do a low card diet, so any suggestion would help.

here is my poverty keto shopping list:

Kale
Ranch
Chicken
Bacon
Eggs
Olive oil

edit:
woops didn't see the vegetarian part.. would prob throw some nuts in there instead, but I think keto could be really difficult on a vegetarian diet. not sure how you'd get all the protein without the carbs, maybe a lot of no-carb whey?

Yeah, I agree, if you're vegetarian:

diet whey/protein, perhaps a mix of casein and whey,etc with minimal carbs?
quorn? although i dont know if they have carbs
Eggs
Nuts do have protein but i think it could only form a small part of your total protein intake throughout the day. probabaly contribute more towards fat intake.
I think lentils and beans have a decent amount of protein for a vegetarian option, but do check


cant think of anything else.

But the best sources of protein are meat, and quinoa, an fish in terms of quality. But once again im not sure of carbohydrate content in quinoa

I didn`t count any calories!

The diet was pretty simple:
3-4 meals of 0.5-0.6 pounds of salmon/steak
6 whole eggs

Great!

[Dzed]

nice job with 3 months!

[italia0101]

I know this thread hasn't been active for a while, but what sort of training did you do per day ? your results are great.

[etaskusut]

how many calorie?

[Succes]

Sick progress for 3 months

[yrot21]

The diet was pretty simple:
3-4 meals of 0.5-0.6 pounds of salmon/steak
6 whole eggs

So, was that 18-24 eggs per day? Or, 6 split throughout the day?

[yrot21]

how many calorie?

Didn't count calories. It's up there, lol. ^^^^
