t1BW, since you are my guy, do you concern yourself with the nutritional values of the foods you eat? or just pack in whatever fits your necessary calorie ratios?

I ask because when I did it I ate almost totally sausage, cheese, nuts and other processed poisons (see pepperoni cream cheese salami burritio lunch hack)

if you don't eat cured meat garbage, how do you meet your fat ratio?

I guess I didn't really get to your question.  MCT/ Coconut oil.  That's probably my main source of fat and I load up on it in the morning with my coffee.

I love 'em, but they are dangerous for me.  I buy a can, knowing I need like a quarter cup, then blackout and the can is empty and I have habanero bbq seasoning all over the place.  Too nutrient dense to play that game of chicken too often.

Same here.... I can't do the can anymore or they are all gone. I just get a scoop of them and weigh them out at the store now... but I've cut that back quite a bit.

So we have a new health program at work this year and it's supposed to be more preventative stuff.  I put in my current weight(obese) and my target weight(still considered obese).  I know we have talked about BMI before but

I've ran 40 miles so far this year and haven't lost a pound

What are you eating?

[ChiComCat]

What are you eating?

More often than not: breakfast shake, 8 inch sandwich for lunch, pasta and chicken breast for dinner

My calorie intake is typically 800 calories less than My Fitness Pal tells me I can eat.  I'm a little annoyed but assume it will start falling off pretty quick.  I'm lifting too so that is probably slowing me down some.

Are you eating your calories back?

Running doesn't really burn all that many calories.  weight loss is about diet.  body composition is about exercise... and running is just... awful.

So what you are saying is that I shouldn't have taken my 2nd place goEMAW fantasy football earnings and splurged on that new elliptical?

Lmao @ anyone that is not 50+ years old using an elliptical as their primary means of exercising

I'm close to 50.  And it's a pretty cool elliptical.

any of you ketokatters messed with that fathead pizza stuff?  I haven't but its certaintly piqued my interest.

[CNS]

yeah.  It was really good, but it didn't fake pizza well.  Few notes:
1. couldn't get the "crust" to crisp up.  Could probably make it thinner and that would help
2. Making crust out of sausage, you get what you expect, a bunch of grease in the pan.  We didn't do anything about it and I assume this is a contributor to #1.  If you could drain once or twice during cooking, it would probably crisp up.

We baked it, then turned the broiler on to try to crisp it. 

It was really tasty, but kinda seemed more like a sausage parm than a pizza.

You could also mix in some fresh parm, or other dry chz, and drain it during the process.  That combo would probably help it crisp up pretty well.

I made some medium awful pizza simulator with a  crust that was made of eggs coconut flour and cheese

14 days in the books and I tried one of those pee steps this morning and and it was probably 3/4 the way between pink (15) and fuchsia (40) so hopefully before the end of January I'll be fully ketopregnant. The darkest shade of purple is like 160 mg/dl. Go cats.

I did end up making a pizza yesterday and it was phenomenal.  The crust was a combination of Mozzarella, an egg, and some almond flour.  Put it in the oven for about 15 minutes.  Flipped it over and stuck it back in for 7 or 8 minutes.  Crispy and great.

Went ahead and cooked up some Italian sausage as well.

13 days in and I've lost 10 pounds.

That is pretty great!

13 days since you started the keto diet or 13 days since you were for sure in ketosis?

Aww man, that's awesome. I must not be doing it right... I've only lost like maybe 1 or 2 lbs.

[DQ12]

I'm sure you're doing it right -- it's hard to do it wrong, really.   Stay under 20g a day and it'll start falling off.  Takes some people longer than others.

Isn't 10 lbs in 13 days just shy of reckless and unsustainable?

Most of the weight in the first week or two is bloat.  When you eat lots of carbs usually your body holds on to a lot of water along with the glycogen stores.  It's normal and not at all reckless.

[DQ12]

of course it's unsustainable.  I'm not gonna keep losing 10 pounds every 13 days forever.  once I lose 10-15 more pounds i'll go into "maintenance mode" and not eat at such a deficit (and may come off keto).
