Energy gel with durian. That’s some serious carbs and calories.
The one cup remark was in reference to the pie chart above. All that for just one cup of durian.
My low carb late lunch for three.
Woo that looks good. We are fortunate in Asia to have a lot of choices I think.
Especially in the veggies department.
I’m on a primarily plant based diet with veggies, fruits and nuts plus some fish. I drink water, fruit juice and soybean milk. To regulate my blood, chi and digestive system I drink Chinese herbal soups twice a week. I ace all my blood tests. Exercise is something I need to work on. I’m petite at about 100lbs. LOL
I see dialysis in your future.
What does that mean?
Day 3 was almost identical to day 2:
61% fat, 36% protein, 3% carbs (9 grams net)
1400 calories
No exercise
9 grams of carbs! It’s 9 am and I already had around 50 grams. But I did exercise even with a broken toe. No excuses is what I’m trying to convince myself. Anyway, good work.
My 3rd day of very-low-carb, I weighed in at 232.8. Down from 237! Must be all water weight. Still limiting my meals to a six-hour window from lunch to dinner, so I suppose I’m doing IF as well.
I “cheated” a little because my whole family wanted KFC for dinner. I only ate the chicken and the coleslaw, so I didn’t go overboard with carbs, but I don’t really know what’s in the chicken skin/breading, or how much sugar might be in the slaw.
The most noticeable difference these past 3 days: I don’t get very hungry, and I don’t feel bloated or gassy. I feel better.
It’s also worth noting that, if my hunger is suppressed AND I’m fasting 18 hours per day, then I’m probably eating fewer calories. I’ve heard people argue about whether or not such caloric restriction is the real cause of weight loss when eating keto diet. I think it’s all of the above (burning more fat instead of storing it, PLUS lower calorie intake due to reduced hunger cravings = noticeable weight loss).
One general guideline about keto is that it takes the body 24-48 hours or longer to change to ketosis. And one “cheat” requires another 24-48 to return to ketosis. So actually, in the keto diet, there is no cheating.
Lowering carbs and meals and etc. that are common diet techniques will cause weight reduction, but it’s not keto.
One KFC chicken leg and one serving of KFC cole slaw, 23g.
I like checking this because it keeps me on top of my game.
I’m joining this month of keto starting today 1 Sep. This morning had a kale shake with handfull of blueberries for breakfast about 5g.
How much evidence is there for the phenomenon of ketosis.
I’ve actually been involved in a lot of metabolic research e.g. diabetes and aging but not that area.
I will also join but with a low carb diet only (not keto). I weighed in at very nearly 90 kilos this morning. 9/1.
I may also check body fat beginning tomorrow because I started weights again and it’s possible I won’t lose too much actual weight.
That’s weird. Cabbage is one of the favorite keto veggies. Mayo too, as well as vinegar.
I bet their slaw has added sugar.
Maybe the carrots?
Sugar, milk, buttermilk, mayonnaise…
But is has just the right amount of dressing!
