[sacooper93]

When you have a nightmare that you had bread and wake up frightened that it actually happened

I've had this nightmare. Twice

[nowheateater]

This. It has happened to me a few times. In my dream I know it's bad but I do it anyway. I wake up and realize nothing happened. Its a big relief

I am surprised how many people this has happened to though. I thought it was just me

[Brakh]

When you pretty much know exactly how much weight you will have lost by the end of the week.

[nico806]

You use the word macro. .. (i never did before this)

You work out that if you cut them in half it's 5p to take a piss [spend a penny]

haha, Ive used the word Macro several times since starting Keto, and never had used it before even when I was eating properly or other dieting.

[sacooper93]

when you freak out that you'll be kicked out of Ketosis after 1 beer.

when you are constantly wondering if you are in Ketosis

[sprig]

strong bump

when people tell you three times a day that you're killing yourself by eating all those "artery clogging, fattening foods"
when I can't wait for my carb-load day of CKD to end so I can eat cream cheese wrapped in salami again

[kyl3williams]

Two things different for me
-I'm always hungry! ( not as hungry as a normal deflect diet, but still hungry )
-Way less energy for workouts

Only on day 8 still in the induction. And 11-12 percent bf. should have enough stored fat for energy just gotta learn to use it

100 percent in keto for 5 days <3

The lack or workout energy is to be expected because of the lack of glycogen in the muscles (especially in the induction phase where you don't have a carb up for a few weeks). You should have more energy in day to day activities though. I know I did.

Also what do your macros look like?

[kyl3williams]

2000cal /144fat/25net carb / 150 protein

Maintain is 2500-2600

Somedays I'll have 2200-2300 depending on how sluggish I feel.

Slowly starting to get my daily energy back. But this diet is 90 percent mental. And I can usually push through workouts if I put my mind to it. I'm just not as strong. Which I'll trade for lower bf

[sacooper93]

What I've done is combine it with an EC stack. Its helped with energy and fat burning. Just an option to consider.

I'm already using ec stack, I think my lack of energy comes from long work days. Leave my house for the bus at 4:40 get to work at 6. Work till 6 get bus and be home by 8. Right to the gym then hope for 6-7 hours of sleep :$ it's like that 24 days of the month ( working lots of ot )

But nobody said getting ripped was easy!

No sir it is not. I'm in high school, and I work every day after school, so the only time I have to work out is in the morning. I'm up by 4:45 every weekday. I get home around 6:30 and it's homework from there.

A relevant quote for those of us with ridiculous schedules who still find time to work out, "If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse."

[kyl3williams]

And that's the truth!!! Another one for you
"limitations are for people who have them, and excuses are for people who need them"

[sacooper93]

Excellent. I have wallpapers of different quotes like these cycling as my background. Excellent motivation at 4:50 in the morning.

My favorite is “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

[gixxer0.6g]

You spend a bunch of time in the Keto forum, because you need the support of other crazy people on the same uber-complicated diet as you. :-)

Ding ding ding. A life without carbs is not a life for me.

No oats with my peanut butter.
No toast with my eggs.
No chips or crackers!!

not a fan of this diet either, though i keep reminding myself its just temporary

[sacooper93]

When after carb day your excited when your pee looks radioactive again.

[LowcarbGod]

Damn man, I don't know about # 1, and # 2, but I do get hungry in the keto low carb diet. I do get less hungry on this high fat keto, low-carb diet. But i still get feelings of hunger at times

1-you constantly have to remind yourself of eating food
2-you wake up and make breakfast then realize you're too "full" to eat
3-people ask you how you made your progress,then ignore you when you tell them
4-people give you weird looks when you throw the bun at McD's or BK
5-you eat more fat than the fattest person you know
6-you have so much energy that you'd workout 5 times a day if you could.
7-you can lose fat without losing muscle, and gain muscle without gaining fat.
8-you laugh at "reduced fat" products
9-you drink heavy cream like a juice and think it tastes like "milk"
10-you've lost at least 3-4% BF in no more than 3 month of ketoing
