Well I had it monday just gone and I was going to skip it the following mo.day and have it on the friday..

Keep me in keto longer

He is refering to Dave Palumbos Keto diet. You would be cheating yourself not having that cheat meal as BC explained in the last page, it releases hormones that increase your bodies ability to burn fat.

I dropped 10lbs so far, no cheat meal, I'm stronger in body weight exercises

I'm still in ketosis @ 70g carbs/day, do cardio 30 mins twice a day, empty stomach in the morning and after weights if I'm lifting that night.

Everything is fine except the fact that I can't sleep I'm getting 4-6 hrs and my body temp is high at night but I feel fine.

I'm gonna wait until weight loss slows or I feel weaker, extra calories just because will slow you down.

I dropped 12 lbs in about a week and a half. In week 3 now and haven't teally dropped.anymore.

Next week im going to start cardio in the mornings to try and speed it up

True...how many people ever get to a point where they are truly "happy" with the way the look?

We may be happy but never satisfied.

my diet today so far.

Meal 1: 24 grams of protein in unsweetened almond milk (it was 5am immediately before work which is why i didnt take more)
Meal 2: 5 whole eggs, 3 thick cut bacon strips, spinach
Meal 3: Chicken breast with 3 table spoons of olive oil
Meal 4: 50 grams of whey protein and 2.5 tablespoons of olive oil
Meal 5: 3 CarlsJr burger patties and 1 slice of cheese
Meal 6: (soon to come) Chicken breast and olive oil
Meal 7: (soon to come) 2 cans of tuna and olive oil

The last two meals are meals im gonna get in for sure but i may end up eating another meal depending on how im feeling tonight.

Im not complaining about the taste, it feels good because it makes me feel assured of the keto but i should also buy some keto sticks. Last week it got so bad that for a second i thought i had blood in my mouth but it was just the metalic taste.

Also, i did some posing today infront of a couple of friends who have not seen me since before keto and they all saw a huge difference already as do i... and im not dehydrated, my skin is holding a good ammount of water. Im pretty carb sensitive and this diet is working. i look leaner every couple of days. Im excited to see how i look when i fill out with my newly gained definition as well as more definition i will gain in the next few weeks.

Unless you have a ton of fat to lose, and dropped 10 in your first week
Then dropped no more! You need to go back and re-assess your caloric intake!

Or your doing too much exercise to start off with...

You should maybe drop 3-5 your first week only then 1-2 a week or
You will lose muscle!

Fuggin hell... I let myself get way out of shape. Lost what seems to be all the muscle I had and now have a gut in only 4 months! 205 down to 178

Anyways, just got back in the gym and on a more "normal" sleep schedule now so ready to get back in to it. Figured Keto would be a good way to lose the gut and then maybe slowly add carbs back in when I'm ready to gain?

Would this be a good start?


MEAL #1 6 whole eggs

MEAL #2 SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 tablespoon of All Natural Peanut butter

MEAL #3 "Lean Protein Meal": 8 oz fatty steak

MEAL #4 SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter

MEAL #5 6 whole eggs

MEAL #6 SHAKE: 50g Whey with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter

I like 6oz chicken breast w/ 1 tbsb olive oil instead of shakes. Just do a post workout shake and bedtime casein with PB.

Thanks I'll do more food then

would Lee Labrada new HCA max product be okay on dave's keto due to the sugar alcohol xylitol ?? If i took 3 chewables postworkout that would be 4.5 carbs 4.5 sugar alcohols.

I was wondering if thats okay because I found this text about xylitol

. Xylitol has virtually no aftertaste, and is advertised as "safe for diabetics and individuals with hyperglycemia." This tolerance is attributed to the lower impact of xylitol on a person's blood sugar, compared to that of regular sugars[citation needed] and also has a very low glycemic index of 13 (glucose has a GI of 100).

worked all the way up from the 1st page to page 100 and i haven't seen anything stating different macros or adjustments to make for women with regard to keto macros 1.5/.5 - not palumbo - just basic keto.

there is a formula somewhere on here, based on LBM. i dont think it differs
for women, just based on LBM. i'll see if i can find it.
