Hi mate, On holiday i found my libido very high...maybe this was to do with being relaxed and eating lots of food. I'm sure it was probably just a one off as i feel fine today and i am still getting morning erections.

Just to be on the safe side i have had a blood test done this morning...i should get the results by early next week.

i have noticed a little dizziness too...mostly after training. Today i feel better and a bit more awake...however i still seem to get very tired around 2-4pm...hopefully this will go by the end of the weekend.

I bought some Keto sticks yesterday...last night i had trace ammounts of ketones and this morning i had none.

breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs
4 bacon
cream cheese
mushrooms

lunch:
Salad with Cheese, ham, tuna, mayo, cucumber, olive oil

Snack:
Pork cracklings

Iv been doing almost the same now for around 5 weeks. I have noticed a big difference in clothes fitting and in the mirror but have remained at 91kg with bf% gradually lowering, average of 1.2% a week. Wondering if thats coherent? What results are you seeing? Iv just introduced hydroxycut hardcore as a supplement to help the process keep going. Currently an average day consists of 5 fried eggs for breakfast. Large chicken for dinner with half an onion and then home made burgers from lean large pack of mince, onions and green peppers. Then maybe half a large chicken before sleep. Dont want to hijack just want to see what kind of gains you are seeing yourself?

Ha ha I'm eating pork scratchings at the moment - I have a salt craving!

And it's all good - 100g contains 49.5g protein, 46.45g fat and trace carbs, according to my packet

That and if I eat another prawn I will probably throw up

cwoody123

LOL yes mate,

I would not normally eat something with so much salt but i have had dioreah for 3 days so need to reset my sodium levels in any case, also they are a great sustitute for crisps!

cwoody123

i have inly been on this for just under 5 days...but a sneaky peak on th scales say i have lost 5lbs thus far (Glycogen)

Why did you decide to diet like this and not just the 'conventional way'.. healthy eating and cardio I mean.

cwoody123

I don't like cardio and don't believe it is needed for fat loss (Cardio lovers attack looming) I am trying this ketonic diet to test the theory of the diet...i mean i have low carbed before but only half ****d...I'm giving this a month of my life, i will learn if this something that i want to do again or not.

i think you have to try things for yourself and see what works for you, and i dont just mean the ammount of weight you loose but also other factors such as: mental well being, practabilty etc..

Liam

How do you feel about the food your eating? I'm sure it tastes good etc but I don't think I could bring myself to eat that sort of thing on a regular basis.

Also is this diet healthy? I can't see how its good for the body to starve it of carbs.

Beklet

It's healthy enough in the short term. There are loads of threads on here about different carbs and how they affect you.

From what I've read myself, we need far less carbs than we think!!

There's all sorts of research been done on the subject and they've found humans can stay perfectly healthy on minimal carbs.

cwoody123

To be honest i miss sugar...but it is becoming less and less as each day passes. The food can get tedius, i defintaly need to look up some more recipes!

you have got to remeber mate that carbs are a fairly new thing when you look at human evolution, i mean in our hunter gather days we ate nothing but meat, fat and fruit (Ocassionly when in season)

There is no evidence that this diet is bad for you as long as you are getting enough vitamins & minerals.

hackskii

You can actually live on zero carbs, but you have to have protein and fats, you can not live without protein or fat, those you have to have.

Pork rind's, pork scratchings, chicharones, all are one in the same.
This snack is ok on a keto diet as there again is no carbs.
They taste pretty good with cayenne pepper on them...lol

Again guys, this diet is short term, it wont hurt you, it would be better eating this than sugar and heavily processed foods, hydrogenated oils and trans fats, along with many diffent vegetable oils.

Day 6
I have defiantly lost weight this first week as i can see it in the mirror!
Measurements and weight will be done tomorrow.

My mood feels good and my mind feels sharp! I also checked my urine last night and i have 'Moderate' ketones which means my body is now burning fat from either dietary fats or from my body.

I have been investigating breakfast ideas and came across a ceral recipe using Flax (Linseed) No doubt this stuff looks good on paper: Lots of dietary fibre, High in good fats, Next to no carbs

.Looking a little deeper we find some very bad points!...
It has the potential to lower serum & free Testosterone as it is a Photoestrogen, some say it only increases good oestrogen as opposed to the bad bad Estrodial.

It has been proven to increase SHBG and lower DHT in males...both of which will have negative effects on a males Anabolic/ Androgenic profile.


It's a bit of a shame as this would have given me some good benefits in terms of increasing my fibre intake...however the risk of having a negative effect on my anabolic profile defiantly puts me off!


Breakfast:
Cream/water
Splenda
Crushed up brazil nuts
Touch of vanilla
Baby bell

So, I had read that we can live on zero carbs, and get all our vitamins and minerals through eating fats and proteins, with the exception of Vitamin C, which we would have to supplement (assuming years ago this was why we ate fruit and plants)

Yes or no?

Bloody Holland and Barratt only seem to sell chewable vitamin C with loads of sugar. I had some nice saccharin based ones I used as a 'sweet' when I had a sugar craving

Beklet

Ground linseeds aren't that bad for you , and have loads of fibre! Tastes cack though

There was a recipe for muffins on an Atkins site but it was truly gopping....

Found a 'pasta' recipe somewhere which is effectively soya flour and eggs made into crepes then used for 'canneloni' or chopped into strips like tagliatelle....

Hmmm breakfast. I usually go for omelette with some veg, or scrambled eggs with herbs and bacon. Scrambled eggs are **** easy in a microwave

Could have a reasonable 'fry up' with bacon, frankfurters (or find some of the posh sausages with very low carbs), eggs, mushrooms.

Actually, thinking about it, you could probably make pancakes with the soya flour and egg and put lemon juice and Splenda on them - yum!!! Might have to try that........
