Why are ground linseeds not hat bad for you? To be honest i will not take the risk. Also i am staying well clear of anything with Soya in it...this stuff is actually proven to increase Estrodial (This must be the reason the Chinese don't have to shave very often lol)

I saw a recipe using spaghetti squash which seemed quite appealing. Thanks for the meal tips in any case ;-)

Full of omega fatty acids and suchlike.

I'm convinced the whole oestrogens in soya thing is a bit overhyped personally. Saturated fat is supposed to help with testosterone production and I eat loads of it - not noticed a beard yet....
The body is a very complex thing - it's not as simple as oestrogen in - girlyman out otherwise people would believe things like 'eating fat makes you fat'...oh, wait..........

I think Tatyana has posted a few articles about it, but I forget where...

No saturated fat is the precursor for testosterone production...there is a big difference...LH will determine how much actual testosterone you produce.

Are you not too bothered about having a healthy heart etc mate?

I've started doing cardio to try to shift some lard lately. I think having a decent level of cardio fitness can make you feel a lot better in yourself and also speed up the metabolism.

Interested to see how you fare with this though nonetheless.

You can supplement omega 3's and vitamins and minerals while on the induction phase of the diet.

Once the induction phase is over, you can slowly add in carbs, eating greens right now would not be a bad idea.
Broccoli. asperagus, green beans, spinish, etc.
Cant go wrong and this will be fine.
One problem with keto type diets is constipation, green fiberous vegetables will take care of this.

The ketones as varified with the keto strips will suggest that there is fats being used for fuel, I myself never went heavy ketones, but I still lost well.
Some will have more than others.

The soy thing in flax is not that big of deal, although I like fish oils over flax any day.
Other proteins over soy too.

I am not a FAN of cardio my self but do your self a favour at least do brisk walking for an hour a few times per week.
Thats all i ever do for cardio but i do this year round....once health starts to go downhill its a slippery slope which is not that easy to climb back up....

cwoody123

I can run 5 miles i felt like it...last month i ran my old 5 mile route and blitz my old time!..you do in fact get a cardio workout from your weights session if you lower rest time

Con

Short rest periods and high reps is very catabolic on a keto diet you want to keep sets low and weight under 10 reps per set.

Day 7
i thought yesterday i would check my blood pressure...results came back at 179/100 which is very high! I put this down to the ECA stack...so as of now i am stopping or lowering my dose to just before training.

I had legs today at the gym...after 25 mins i had to leave the gym as i had no energy at all! My strength has gone down an awful lot in this first week.

My mood this week is very variable...one minute i feel ok...the next i feel like i can't be bothered with anything in life. Today i am feeling like this diet is having a very negative impact on my well being.

Breakfast:
Frankfurter
Egg
Bacon
Mushrooms

Lunch:
Stir fry with chicken

Snack:
Cold chicken leg
Sunflower seeds

Dinner:
2 Chicken leg with rocket salad and olive oil and blue cheese dressing

Snack:
Sugar free jelly
Nuts

Hmm that's odd I'm feeling much better.

Try eating more veg. And fat - the fat should give you energy.

Too many seeds and nuts can push the carb limit up pretty high.
Try some macadamia nuts, they are the lowest in carbs and highest in fats, they are expensive but very tasty.

I am heavily in ketosis from the test strip this morning. . I am eating a fair bit of veg now so i would not have thought that would be the issue. I will give it another week and see how i go...if by then i do not feel better i will come off the diet.

hackskii

Now you are talking, keep an eye on things.
How many days and how many pounds lost?

Been on 7 days now and have lost 5lbs this first week...i look a little leaner...i will measure tomorrow and do some more pics next week.

yesterday i opened the fridge and low and behold my fave chco bar (Double decker) was looking back at me...i seriously wanted to cry!...I had a little pop at my girlfriend for putting it in there.

See mate like i told you from the start a diet has to be more scheduled than that EXACTLY what i thought would happen has.
Your cals are too low and your eating too much rubbish, your body doesnt like to process **** like rashers it much rather has a clean chicken breast a large romanian salad and a spoon of udos choice oil.
Also a keto diet needs to be run a long time hell i was not liking it at all or the results until the 7-8 week mark.
