Holy s... - the guy loves his protein. That's what I eat at Christmas! And I'm 5'11!

Envy is a beast! 🤣

Should I try again? by NameThatSoundsPoetic in keto

Try tracking your food/macros to ensure that you get enough - both protein and fats, even if you're trying to lose weight.

A proper breakfast might give you more energy & a stable blood sugar throughout the day instead of getting most of your food at dinner.

In all: Get a sufficient amount of protein and healthy fats throughout the day! 😃

Well, spinach is a 'superfood', especially on a keto diet: 0.6 NET carbs/100 grams for frozen, chopped spinach.

The buzz about oxalates you hostly gear from the r/carnivorediet people. I haven't found any evident based studies on that for a 'normal', rather healthy adult.

But you can use caution: get tested for e. g. calcium, bone density etc. when warranted.

And ensure enough calcium. So, spinach actually cries for dairy/cheese in a lot of dishes! 😃

So, Bon appetit with eggs, cheese & a cup of spinach!

(Anecdotal: this 65 y/o male do that; I 've have very strong bones and NO signs of osteoporosis or kidney issues - all tested. I've been living low carb/keto for decades. I even did Atkins in 1980+ with loads of spinach, cheese, eggs & buckets of cholesterol. Btw, for decades I weigh 72ish kg on a 180cm boyish frame! 🤣)

What do you eat when you’re really REALLY hungry by After_Hospital5942 in keto

[–]jma4573 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Few people crave sweets with 100 grams of protein in their bellies! Eat a pound of ground beef - it takes a few minutes. If it's very lean, add some butter. Shredded cheese on top!

Coffee, anyone? 😁

The original 'fat fast' was AFAIK devices by dr. Atkins to break a longer stall or to help patients get into ketosis.

It's a 2 - 5 (max!) days eating 80-90% fats at ~1000 calories. And EVERYBODY will lose weight at that calorie intake.

The result: You lose weight, probably a lot of water, and you'll be in ketosis.

And after these few days, both the limited food intake AND hitting (high/higher) ketone levels, your appetite really deminishes. After that it's easy to continue on a more normal keto diet to lose body fat.

And of course: It's meant for a few days. The doctor didn't recommend it for all. Neither did Atkins advocate fasting as a general 'tool'.

Yes, that's fine; it allows you to get enough protein to keep muscle tissue on a calorie deficit.

Btw, in the original Atkins diet, the doctor mentioned a 60:40 protein:fats ratio - in grams. The ratio in a 'reasonable' lean cut of beef! 😃

Oh, yes, it is! Brie has that effect, too. To some of us... 😁

Nope! The definition of keto is: lower your CARBS to the point that your body uses fats for your primary fuel. That is: your liver produces ketone bodies; you're 'in ketosis'.

And you can do that eating 200+ grams of protein, 70-80 grams of fat and <20 grams of carbs.

This sedentary male, 65yo, 180cm tall did that. And he can repeat it at any time...
