Longer flight days are much more leisurely.
If I could eat a decent sized breakfast, your description above would be perfect. For some reason, I need a couple hours before I can eat without getting nauseous.

That's why some do keto vs iifym vs low fat. We all do what's best for us. Eating at a deficit of 2600 cal on keto works good for meLast edited by icetrauma; 03-21-2017, 02:14 PM.

I can't do much of anything. I've tried cereal with almond milk, fruit only, shakes, smoothies, granola... it all gives me nausea unless I've had a couple hours after getting up. That really messes with early shift days...

We tend to eat dinner between 5pm and 6pm... and when I go into my weight loss regime, I tend to make a rule that says no eating after 7pm. I make exceptions to this for if I can't eat dinner until after 7pm (rarely) or if I am doing a evening strength workout and I want to drink some protein for quick uptake/repair.
My wife never liked to eat breakfast. She wasn't hungry and forcing it was always a bad idea (I would tell her that she needed to eat something before going and working out.) Recently though, she hasn't had problems eating a bowl of cereal in the morning and going and working out within an hour... and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that she isn't snacking big snacks just before bed any more.
She wakes up wanting to eat now.

It really depends on what's going on. If I am at home, we usually eat around 8:00 when my wife gets home from work.
On the road,
AM's I could eat as early as 5:00 or 6:00 local time as I tend to be getting to the hotel by then.
PM's I could eat as late as midnight for the same reason.

I typically carry a food bag to cover me 5-6 out the 9 meals per trip. Not for any diet reason, but to save money. Hotel and airport meals are beyond expensive. (3-day food budget is $75 without packing my own meals, I can't justify that) The hard part is not having a place to heat things up on the plane. This restrictive diet isn't too bad because unbreaded wings, steaks, bun-less burgers, grilled chicken, salmon etc is very easy to get without added carbs.

For those of you that don't know what a ketogenic diet is,
It is designed to break your body's use of glucose and suppress insulin production. This causes your body to live off of ketones instead of glucose, and ketones are pulled directly from fat.
Supposed to end up with longer lasting energy, body fat reduction, and fewer cravings throughout the day.
The diet is typically structured about
70% fat
25% protein
5% carbs
Supposedly the first few weeks are a little rough to get through as your body weans itself off of living from blood sugar, but after that it is supposed to be pretty easy as diets go.
I'm 172.8 today, and goal is 155. Not doing it quickly, just ending up there at some point.

Kinda also reminds me of hiking trips or vacations. So we don't eat out, we pack an orange, bag of chips, and a peanut butter sandwich when we are on vacations. Really helps as none needs cooling and a PB&J has all the fat, fast, and slow carbs you need. Goes down quick too.

My bag stays cool well, I already pack things like cheeses, soups, meats and such. We are working on some travel friendly snack and meal recipes for me.
