    Lost about 40 pounds so far, another 40 to go doing the Keto, atkins, low carb high fat, whatever you want to call it eating lifestyle. Started early last summer after a river trip and I couldn't climb back on the raft.

    Had an excellent chicken alfredo last night in fact.

      MCT is medium chain triglycerides

      It is an extract made from palm or coconut oil

      This is an easily understandable explanation https://wellnessmama.com/98671/mct-oil-benefits/

          Great way to lose weight but its not something I would want to be doing forever. Its not a good way to get the best performance out of your body. Longterm its better to use intermittent fasting to go ketogenic from time to time but still using glycogen for a fuel source at the gym etc. Your body can be trained to go from one metabolic pathway to another. You will without a doubt perform and feel better at the gym when using glycogen. You will also perform better in endurance activities if your body is good at going ketogenic and using fat. There are easy ways to test yourself to tell if you can efficiently use fat.

          Everyone tends to get on a fad and go waaaay to far to one side. Use a ketogenic diet to lose weight but dont be afraid to balance out your diet once the weight is off.

            Yep, it is a flawed marker.

            And I forgot to reply to your PM (was on vacation.) I am out of canned Javi. I do have canned Axis though.

                I have lost 27 lbs in 11 weeks on my diet of steak, potatoes, cereal, bread, fruit, etc.

                It is called eating less, moderate exercise, and... nope thats it.

                Wrong. I'm a T2 diabetic. I'm on a Keto diet. My glucose numbers are better than ever, my cholesterol is great and I'm not on any medications. This is all a result of going keto. My dr. had me on Kombiglyze and wanted me to start taking lipitor. I'm down around 20# with a few more to go. Keto doesn't cause diabetes, it's a treatment for it, T2 at least. It is also a lifestyle change, not a fad diet.

                  Any low carb diet will help manage type 2 diabetes. Honestly, there are better way to diet than this.

                    For your body, maybe. Honestly, for my body, this is the best change in my diet I've ever made. There are plenty who have used a keto/LCHF diet successfully for years, athletes too. It works for me and a number of other diabetics/athletes I know. I sleep better, wake up more refreshed, have better workouts, no mid-day crash and am in a better mood with exemplary blood work.

                      Me as well. Also my blood pressure went from 140's/95+ to 116ish/85 in a matter of a month

                        Im bulking now, but cut using Keto....

                        I found that sipping pickle juice throughout the day prevents the headache during the first couple weeks. Sodium will be high, but it will get you through the rough spot of feeling like death as your body adjusts to the diet....

I was never tired, didn't have the after lunch lull, never had a problem getting up @ 0300 for work. Sounds too good to be true right? Be careful with this diet. Turns out this diet can leave you malnutritioned, and lacking important minerals for your body to function. In June I noticed I started having heart palpitations, and decided to go see a cardiologist just to make sure nothing was wrong. I only had them when I was sitting still, when working out or working in the yard, they didn't exist. Turns out, they were heart arrhythmias, non-sustained tachycardia. They can be caused by insufficient electrolytes in your diet, very common on this diet. Also, this diet increases adrenaline in your blood stream, which leads to irregular heart beats and heart arrhythmias. Make sure you take a supplement, and pay close attention to what your body is telling you. Since, I've had a defibrillator implanted, and have talked with other people with defibrillators. Several people went into sudden cardiac arrest on this diet, and put them close to death. Do your research. I agree with panhandlehunter, this is not something you want to stay on forever. This is great to lose body fat, but I think your best option is to ease into a paleo diet. It's more sustainable, and you aren't holding out any important nutrition from your body. Good luck on your weight loss!

                          Did you take any supplements? I use Potassium and Magnesium daily to help avoid what you described.

                            Chicken broth is good for this as well. I do enjoy a pickle juice snowcone.

                                What is the keto flu?
                                headaches? (like after a night of drinking alcohol with little to no water/electrolyte replenishment)
                                gastrointestinal?
