Still, I've had a nice calorie deficit every day and my macros for the week so far are 72% fat, 21% protein. Been in ketosis solid but the scale has read exact same weight the last 4 mornings in a row right out of bed.


      I’d try fasting or gorging on regular food. Anything to shock your metabolism.

        So, yesterday I tried eating 30G or so of carbs a couple hours before my lift and I feel like it helped substantially. I was a bit worried it would knock me out of ketosis, but I checked this morning and I was still in at 20-30mg/DL.
        Good luck on your meet!

            Wife made some Creamsicle Fat Bombs yesterday. It was, essentially, the first really sweet tasting thing we've had in three weeks! It was great!

            My wife pan seared some trout last night. I had saved a baggie of crawfish tails from my rig cook on Tuesday, so I used some to make a Pontchartrain sauce for the fish for extra fat. It was so good I almost felt guilty eating it!

                It's going great. We've both lost about 11 or 12 lbs. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but I'm at my initial weight target and only want to drop another 6-8 lbs to get to my revised goal. I'll probably start playing around with the macros at that point to see how it affects me.

                I think Keto is more sustainable than I had originally figured, but I still may switch to a more paleo/clean eating program after a couple of months.

                  Good news for sure and keep it up! It’s a lot easier once you get the hang of it.

                    I understand the feeling guilty aspect. Keto could solve obesity in America if people would try it!! [emoji23]

                      Well, I just hit the 4 week mark on the Keto diet. The scale this morning showed I am down 30 lbs. since I started. I have found this diet (lifestyle), relatively easy. Now, don't get me wrong, the temptations such as when we go out because we are always out watching our kids compete or on Fridays during lent. But since I started this diet, I have felt so, so much better. I know the pounds will start to come off slower than it did this first month, but I couldn't be more excited about continuing this and seeing where it takes me.

                          Right now it has been without exercise. I am about to kick start that aspect of it soon though. I just wanted to start the diet without exercise first. My biggest issue to this point has been not getting close to my counts.

                          I am supposed to...

                          2485 calories
                          Carbs - 31g
                          Protein - 154g
                          Fat - 194g

                          I drink my Bullet Proof Coffee in the morning, and then don't eat until supper. I do this because I really am not hungry. Because of this, when I check my ketosis status, it is not strong. But since the weight has been coming off, I really haven't worried about it to this point. I am sure, soon, I will need to start making sure my macros are where they need to be.

                            I haven’t been getting close to my macros either. I’ll step on a scale next Mon at my 4 week mark.

                              Well, I tried the body shock approach to plateau busting on Saturday. Don’t know if it worked because I’m not touching a scale until my physical this Friday. Rucked 5.35 yesterday with 50lbs and my hands looked like cartoon balloon hands or something. (Saturday Italian meal)
                              Anyway, wife has now joined me on the diet so I expect great things. She will research recipes and cook up all kinds of new dishes[emoji6]
