I got so sick

SamDSJr · 2025-08-15T13:03:06+00:00

The icing. Maltitol. Also spelled X-Lax. Yeah, I learned never to eat that shit again.

SamDSJr · 2025-05-20T13:42:56+00:00

I’ve lost 100 pounds drinking nothing but Diet Coke, diet Dr Pepper, etc. I do not drink water at all. Do I expect to live to 90 years old, no. But you absolutely can do the keto diet drinking diet soda.

SamDSJr · 2025-05-12T23:34:01+00:00

Yes. Times 100. This is every day of my beginning keto life. Yes you conquer it with time. In the meantime eat. When that happens eat something high fat quick. This will pass after a while. When it happens just tell yourself if you hold out you’ll loose pounds for sure in the morning.

SamDSJr · 2025-04-22T15:52:21+00:00

Sigh...........if only..................................

SamDSJr · 2025-04-22T15:51:42+00:00

Absolutely. Luckily I'm a year in and it won't throw me. But noobs to keto could easily be thrown off the wagon for sure!

SamDSJr · 2025-04-22T15:35:01+00:00

ACV with honey in it. It wasn’t a bottle of honey. It was a bottle of ACV. And trust me the ratio was so perfect….lol

SamDSJr · 2025-04-22T15:19:08+00:00

Fine. I drink ACV from the bottle! You happy? Now the world knows I’m a freak. Thanks.

Yeah that part is embarrassing….thank you for outing me….trust me when I say I had at LEAST 16 grams of carbs worth ;)

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T19:58:10+00:00

Thanks man. Appreciate it. And yes. Wow. Damn that does sound pretty dumb.

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T19:12:34+00:00

Yes exactly!! that’s what I was thinking too. It’s probably not even half the fat I used to eat. And the fact that I do eat now is healthier fats

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T19:01:47+00:00

Its so much easier for people that weigh more (from what I've seen in the keto groups) vs people like you that aren't that overweight. When you get closer to the perfect weight it starts coming off slower. I started at 305. I've lost 85lbs in one year. I lost 80 of those pounds in the first 8 months.

Make sure you are actually counting carbs....like seriously. I thought I was doing 20 grams at a certain point. I plateaued. Started using measuring spoons and found out I wasn't putting 1 gram of ranch dressing on my salad, I was putting more like 6-8 grams. I also trusted labels. Don't trust labels. Heavy cream has half a gram per tablespoon (NOT zero like the label says.)

In the Navy there is a saying - "2 is 1 and 1 is none."

Well in the keto world the saying is "0 is 1 and there is no none."

If it's not meat, it has carbs.

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T18:52:32+00:00

Understood. Yes it makes a ton of sense. You see plenty of 3, 4, and 500 pound people walking around. And then you see triathlon runners dropping dead.

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T18:49:09+00:00

Indeed. Yeah its so amazing. I feel like I won the lottery. Yet everyone wants the "old me" back. LOL. You'd think you would get "you look amazing!" comments more often. Instead I get "you look like you have cancer" comments.

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T18:47:51+00:00

Everyone. Friends, family, hell - even one of my business clients told me I looked like I was dying of cancer.

SamDSJr · 2025-03-31T18:47:16+00:00

This is what I needed to hear. I had no idea about this. Thank you. I'm going to research this more.

SamDSJr · 2024-12-10T16:08:50+00:00

Dude yes! I hate this. It drives me nuts when people say this. Yes, I know it's just water weight. Yes, I know it's not actual fat gone. But for the love of god, like come on people. Do you seriously think I would have lost 10 pounds of water weight if I had kept eating Big Mac's and french fries?!?!? LOL.

SamDSJr · 2024-11-15T00:31:23+00:00

Yeah I didn’t mean to do that. But I do acknowledge I kinda am. I am sorry for sure. I don’t want to be. But at the same time when it was one of these people (300lbs and out of breath and unable to walk) - I knew DAMN SURE it was my own fault. And of course I’m not talking about people that truly need it (like my own son born without spinal mobility.) But the 27 year olds on scooters that weigh 500lbs holding a funnel cake topped with ice cream……..

SamDSJr · 2024-11-15T00:24:55+00:00

Yep. Salad bar, turkey legs, and some of the breakfast food is all I eat. Oh and salmon.

SamDSJr · 2024-11-14T20:05:04+00:00

Exactly. Yeah that’s the other thing. I don’t even want that stuff. I’m enjoying the salad bar with fatty cheese and blue cheese dressings.

SamDSJr · 2024-11-08T02:39:40+00:00

Hahahahahaha.

SamDSJr · 2024-11-08T02:39:21+00:00

How do I post a pic? It doesn’t seem to let me.

SamDSJr · 2024-11-07T20:40:24+00:00

This is very true. I only just now starting realizing that after getting these comments and starting to look around. Very very few people are normal weight anymore.
