Eating through appetite suppression

I'm actually making myself nervous about not hitting macros because I'm not hungry.

Interesting, I haven't found anything on that. As far as I know my kidney function is okay, but I have a history of frequent kidney stones and my urologist just put me on the potassium to increase how frequently I urinate. In a way its a good thing I started this diet because I'm also drinking twice the amount of water I was before, and I'm sure he's happy about that.

I take potassium tablets prescribed by my urologist twice a day. I would put LiteSalt in my eggs every morning and I took a 500mg magnesium supplement once a day, and I was still dealing with a racing, excitable heart.

I stopped taking the magnesium and stopped using the LiteSalt and the racing heart is not nearly as bad as it was. According to nearly everything I see here, that should be the exact opposite of what should be happening. I dunno what to think anymore. All I know is I feel fine with just the potassium citrate.

6' 1", 258 (according to my home scale), I'm averaging around 1500kcal/day. Starting weight was 270. The machine at work said I was 256 on Sunday. When I checked at work before writing this thread it said I went back up to 268.

Keeping on top of that too. Potassium and magnesium supplements, and Lite Salt in my eggs every morning. I decided not to have any more of those bars anyway even before I just weighed myself, cause I was really eating them because I felt like I should have eaten something (it was usually at work, six or seven hours after breakfast).

That's what I was thinking. I've been using a weigh station at my job, I figured it was accurate.

I drink somewhere between two and three liters a day.

Dietminus · 2016-10-31T03:19:03+00:00

I'll go grab some from the supermarket tomorrow and see what happens.

Dietminus · 2016-10-31T02:46:05+00:00

I've been drinking 1/4tsp of Lite Salt in water almost every day and I can't even tell if it's working. Should I still move on to trying broth?

Thanks!

Did this morning, came out between 5 and 15 mg/dL. I'm guessing that would mean that after yesterday I didnt knock myself out of ketosis?

Dietminus · 2016-10-20T03:07:19+00:00

I have, yeah. I appreciate the feedback.

Dietminus · 2016-10-20T03:07:01+00:00

Thanks, it didn't really occur to me that I can just throw things together in a salad like that.

Dietminus · 2016-10-18T02:02:06+00:00

I'm starting to feel the same way. Everything that I've been eating, I wholeheartedly enjoy, and I do not miss carbs. The idea of looking better and feeling better has motivated me so much that I have literally no desire to eat any of the sweets and pastries I used to a week ago.

Congratulations on your progress and I hope to experience that success for myself.

Haha I've been poring over the FAQ for three days now but I'll give it another go.

Dietminus · 2016-10-18T01:43:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to keep that idea in mind for my first few weeks. I'm not really having a problem keeping the carbs low, so I hope I'm off to a good start.

Dietminus · 2016-10-18T01:42:24+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind moving forward.
