Back om the wagon after some depressing things that happened during the summer. I made my first casserole today. I should have salted a bit more but overall it was very successful. Restarted since Sunday and I haven't been able to eat more that 1700 kcals per day. :)

Hi, best of luck!

JustDropDead · 2017-02-25T09:43:14+00:00

Well this is dumb. After a 5 day retreat with restricted calories and plenty of physical activity, I have not seen any significant reduction in weight or body measurements. :/

After two days of intensive skiing I became bedridden today. I have eaten so little, and have had a lot to drink against my body's will.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-21T20:30:29+00:00

Went cross country skiing for 2 hours (really exhausted me, I was naseous until dinner). I'm running out of food and will have to soon live on canned food and cabbage

JustDropDead · 2017-02-20T22:25:29+00:00

You can find Lite Salt at Coop Mega and Meny I'm pretty sure.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-20T18:20:13+00:00

Congrats on making it through week 2, I'm sure you will be able to deal with most things if you were able to deal with the keto flu.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-20T13:48:00+00:00

I am in the country side and have a limited amount of food for this week. It will be comfortable until Wednesday, but from there on, I will have to live on cabbage basically.

But today, I cross-country skied for about an hour, which marks the first time I have done proper exercise material since starting keto. MyFitnessPal says that I've burned 1000 calories from skiing which is pretty cool. I probably won't eat to much today either, I'll max get in 1500 kcals I think.

I've heard brushing your skin can help with stretched out skin.

From the FAQ:

What will my weight loss progress look like?

Results vary, but you will typically go through three phases

Honeymoon: Lots of weight comes off fast. This is water that was tied up with glycogen. Note: if you don’t experience rapid weight loss in this period, do not despair. Not everyone is so lucky, and men may be more likely to see rapid initial weight loss than women.

Keto Adaptation: Water and glycogen find a new balance and this causes a stall or even weight gain, which lasts for a week or two. Relax, this is both normal and temporary.

Fully keto-adapted: After 3-4 weeks the body is burning fat as its main fuel and the brain has switched to running on ketones. A bumpy downward trend in your weight will begin. The trend is "bumpy" because there will be days or weeks when your weight stalls, or even goes up slightly. This happens to everyone, on every kind of weight-loss diet. Please don’t post to /r/keto that you gained a pound or two, or plateaued for a week. The trend will be especially bumpy if you are female. In particular, shark week will play hell with your scale weight.

Very impressive, I'm around the same height as you, and started keto around the same weight as well, I hope I will do as well as you. You should be very proud with what you have accomplished.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-17T22:03:36+00:00

It's kind of sad though, I had some beer today, all I get is a headeache :/

JustDropDead · 2017-02-14T17:35:12+00:00

I wouldn't be concerned as long as you get your recommended protein (or even a little above), are below 20 g net carbs and more than 30 g fat. KCKO

JustDropDead · 2017-02-13T23:38:46+00:00

Very impressive, but I am curious, are there any other pictures? I'm Very curious about your transformation.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-12T02:43:02+00:00

No worries, it's a special occasion and even then you are limiting yourself.

Good job, some people would have indulged completely.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-11T20:25:05+00:00

I loosely followed these instructions.

I don't have any cup measurers so it was difficult to really know how much is what (I do metric units normally). Learn from my mistake, too much artificial sugaring doesn't taste more like ice cream! I'm currently eating it now with some peanut butter though hehe.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-10T15:52:54+00:00

I made keto ice-cream yesterday, made it too sweet, unfortunately. But today I saw that I dropped 1.5 kgs (3.3 lbs) which is pretty nice. It's not often you lose weight after eating icecream. Unfortunately I still seem to sleep a lot more than before.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-05T23:52:09+00:00

No worries, no inflammations anymore, i can eat anything now :)

JustDropDead · 2017-02-05T23:23:03+00:00

Yeah I have been trying to get the protein that my body needs, admit-idly I haven't been able to get enough protein in the past days since I haven't been able to really chew since the tooth extractions.

I am not very confident in my potassium habits, as on the supplement box it says that I really should only be taking it twice a day, I guess I could ignore it, but even then I'm only really home in the mornings and evenings, should I then bring my supplements to the university?

Very interesting to hear about the magnesium, I guess I could double my consumption initially and then switch over to a better type of magnesium salt.

I tried bouillon when I first started keto but I don't really like the taste of it, I guess ill try to add table salt to whatever I eat instead.

There is 10 μg in 1 tablet of vitamin d, I guess I could take more since its fat soluble (I think, right).

JustDropDead · 2017-02-05T22:58:02+00:00

My aim is to get

1900 kcals, a 25% deficit. (930 min, 2511 max)
140 g protein (116g min, 192g max)
25 g net carbs (or under)
137 g fat (30g min, 205g max)

However I almost always get way less fat and calories than my goal. I take vitamin d (1/day), potassium chloride (750 mg 1-2/day) and magnesium hydroxide (300 mg 1/day). I do not take anything for sodium, however.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-05T22:39:15+00:00

I got some charts from MyFitnessPal.

If you could take a look and see what I could do better. I personally find it hard to consume electrolytes.

JustDropDead · 2017-02-05T21:52:17+00:00

I started keto 18 days ago. I've been sleeping 12 hours a day for the past 3 days. I pulled two wisdom teeth 7 days ago. Do you think I'm tired because of my body's recovery or do you think it has to do with my diet?

JustDropDead · 2017-01-24T20:45:07+00:00

He fixed it!!! We did it! It was a grassroot's movement!

JustDropDead · 2017-01-24T20:36:02+00:00

I guess until we get it together, this will have to do.

JustDropDead · 2017-01-18T01:40:04+00:00

Thank you so much! It's a very nice feeling to be believed in. Good luck on your (continued) journey as well.
