Heres what I ate to lose weight, try to eat 75% raw vegetables in your meals. Eat till your full. I lost 32lbs the 1st month and am down 55lbs now. Hope this helps someone. This was from a program through my health insurance along with a health coach. This works well you gotta want to do it. My dr says I need to lose a few more lbs as my glucose has been high for the last year.

Also drink 1/2 orange juice with a 1/4 teaspoon of pink sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tarter if you feel like your on a diet at the beginning.. This stuff really helped me with the headaches and being nauseous from getting off the crap processed foods I was eating. Hope this helps someone. Good luck!!!


My cholesterol has went down about 100 points now.

Low carb and I usually only eat 1 or 2 meals a day. Lost 120 lbs over last 3 years. You still have to keep calorie low if you want to lose weight. You can easily gain if you eat too much no matter how low the carb. I feel tremendously better on low carb whether I am losing weight or maintaining. Every so often I’ll cheat for a day or 2, like at deer camp, and I will feel miserable and bloated for days.

Decent low carb high fiber breads and wraps for fast meals occasionally, soups, stews and meats are always good. Just gotta drop the high carb veggies. Radish actually makes great potato sub in a soup or stew. The regular radish flavor is not present after stewing. Kinda like a low taste potato...

I know this is old, had to search before I asked and started a new thread.
I wanted to lose some weight and my workouts and running just wasn’t cutting it so I did this 10 day Ketone Challenge. I decided with the drinks I’d be drinking that I would also change my diet as well…Ketone Diet, which has already been stated of high fat, med protein, and low to zero carbs.
Today is day number 11 and I won’t know how much weight I’ve lost until I hit the gym tomorrow, but I know I’ve lost. Even my wife has noticed in just 11 days.
It was sorta tough at first, but I made up my mind I’d try it for 10 days and by God I made it. I don’t want to call it a diet because it’s really not a diet. I’m just eating healthy foods now and my body is burning fat vs carbs. The hardest thing for me was giving up sweet tea and Mt. Dews. I was drinking 6-8 cans a day, lol.
Now I’m drinking water, one glass of V8 a day, and just found zero carbs/zero sugar Gatorade. At least it’s something other than water.
I do know for some reason I stay thirstier than before and can put away some water, lol. You’d think with all the water you’d get bloated, but I don’t. I sleep like a baby now. I mean sho’nuff lights out sleep.
It was tough figuring out foods I could and couldn’t eat, and it seems after a few days my tastebuds are different. Foods I wouldn’t consider before taste pretty dang good now. I’m not totally zero carbs yet, but try and keep it to below 25 grams a day. I really think the no/extremely low sugar is what changed my taste.
Just wanted to share incase anyone else was considering this eating change. I’ll post my weight loss tomorrow. I started on June 3 at 193 on the gym scales.

Congrats.

Sumner is a good time to start. Easier to reduce carbs with all the fresh veggies and fruits around. If you want a carb fix go with a wrap or an open face burger. Drink lots of water

lost 30 in a month by accident just stopping breads because of diabetes. Now i wear jeans I couldnt wear in 4 yrs. Im 12 pounds above my high school weight at 62. I was lighter in s.e. asia just because of the foods,,exercise and sweat.

No potatoes or bread, two months I lost five lbs, that's all , I guess I wasn't eating too many carbs

well t20,,theres lots of carbs in other things too,,certain fruits and veggies even. Oranges have quite a bit....its not only carbs but calories that put on fat. If youre not over 50-55 you probably dont need to worry much. At 50 in philippines I was at 167 under my high school weight but then I was getting EXTREME workouts 4-5 times a day. Seems to me I remember you also doing carpet cleaning etc so You probably burn alot of calories.

A simple diet plan to follow is just shop on the outside aisle at the the grocery store. As already mentioned cut the sugar drinks out. Drink yer coffee black. Eat mustard not mayonnaise. Get active

Ketosis requires more water, thats why you are more thirsty. You have to process more through your kidneys and they will require larger amounts of water. I can tell when I'm in and out of K based on how much my water intake changes. Upwards of 1 to 1.5 gallons a day when in K. It can be a tough lifestyle as eating out is limited and planning meals is essential to success. American cuisine is designed around carbs to fill you up cheaply.

This saved my life in 2012. This very piece that was on the tv. Here it is (I kept it for these instances):

I'm doing it exactly to this day. See WilliamDavisMD on Twitter and his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WilliamDavisWheatBelly/videos

I eat 4-5 meals a day. 3000 calories or so total, sometimes more but never much less.

Since this was first posted in January I have watched a bunch of Dr podcasts on youtube concerning keto, leaky gut, and various other related medical things that can be controlled by eating differently. My original goal was to remove as much sugar from my diet as reasonable. That meant almost all starches, sugar, and alcohol (I never drank much anyway). But granola bars, sandwiches, grain and beans/legumes were big in my diet. I have always maintained my weight because I bike and weight train year around. Along with the trapping, lawn mowing, any wood cutting, etc.

The first guy I found on Youtube was Thomas De Lauer. Not a Dr but a knowledgeable keto guy. He posts something everyday.

Dr Steven Gundry, retired heart surgeon. Not full keto, but since retiring from doing heart surgery 20 years ago has been researching and practicing what he calls restorative medicine. New podcast every Friday.

Dr Mark Hyman, Cleveland Clinic. Still practicing, similar to Gundy in believing that most human illness is caused by the wrong type of diet and can for the most part be cured or controlled with the correct diet. I believe he also has a podcast and there is a portal on the Cleveland Clinic website where he can be found along with his staff for online information/help.

The two Dr's agree that a protein called "lectin" in many grains, legumes, and nightshade family vegetables cause many people problems. Of course, some people are also allergic to A1 milk protein.

Anyone can also go to lowcarbdownunder on Youtube and watch any of the posted seminar talks from any number of Dr's and researchers.

ALL HAVE ONE BELIEF IN COMMON. The standard American food pyramid is upside down. You want mostly fat (about 70%), moderate protein (20%), and a few carbs.

Hope this new information helps. And I apologize (not really) for keeping myself in good healthy condition my whole life. (I'll be 70 in early August.)

You could lose 5# a week just drinking all the water you can with no other changes. when you drink water, your body has to process it at a faster pace, it speeds up your metabolism.

Ok, got on the scales after eating a ham and cheese wrap and a 16oz water and I’ve lost 7# since I last weighed on June 3. But here’s the weird thing…lost .75 in my waist. Yeah I could’ve sucked it in and claimed more but I wasn’t sucking in when I took the first measurements so didn’t on this one.
I have stuck to my normal workouts and cardio throughout the process. I bet if I was to fast with no drink or water for 24hrs the weight would be lower, but why? I’m eating good and do it every couple of hours. Just don’t have the appetite like I had before. Sometimes I have to make myself eat just a little something just because it’s needed, lol. I’m a believer that to keep that metabolism going it needs something in there to attack. Cool thing is I found protein tortillas with only 3grams of carbs. Almonds and pistachios with some bacon are breakfast. A chicken salad or a wrap with tuna, chicken, salmon, or ham and all with mozzarella cheese is lunch. And I make myself eat a meat and generally green beans for an early supper. Always eat while I’m still active. As stated before water is my drink of choice, a small glass of V8 before my workouts, a Gatorade zero during my evening meal, then back to water the rest of the evening.

Hmmm, tried that before, didn’t work for me. All I felt then was bloated. May have been the foods I was eating. Guessing a large pizza and water wasn’t the ideal recipe.

absolutely.... The fog lifts and your mind is in a better place.

Don't force yourself to eat. Eat when hungry, it'll work itself out. When I began I quickly got to where I ate breakfast and lunch, and that was it. No snacks, no dinner. You end up doing intermittent fasting without trying to.

Nice reading all of this. I'm kind of a yoyo for health and weight myself. Just getting back in the wagon again. Last few years have been a little challenging having two kids and a sick wife for entire pregnancies. We get our first CSA farm share this week so will be rolling in the veggies for 17 weeks now, so that makes it a bit easier.



I will agree, water is pivotal. And for me, I sometimes just let her rip and do what I want such as when in vacation etc. My guts go in a funk for a couple days after but recover. Last summer I had a whole new wrench thrown in as I had two bouts with gout(I think.....never went to doctor) and now one more this year. I think I have that narrowed down to peanuts and possibly alcohol. I also did intermittent fasting for a solid year, then quit, and have kinda reverted back to it naturally.

I'm not as low carb as some of you, but when I'm thinking and planning what I eat I consume SIGNIFICANTLY less carbs and I I'm turn feel way better in general.

Keep at it everyone! Happy trapping! ScottW
