Dom D'Agostino, Jeff Volek and Dr. Wilson disagree with him...with data.
Sort of, but the Atkins diet was flawed.
Thats because you were lead to believe that saturated fats are bad for you, when in fact, its sugar that does way more damage.
Same here, I'm about 3 weeks in and I feel terrific. I'm down about 10lbs and bloat is significantly decreased. I'm also doing an IF style keto diet.
You would probably have complications because of excess sodium intake but there is nothing within the fat of bacon that is unhealthy.
I did because of above average blood glucose levels....it is genetic in my family, but lowering it can only be good.
Do you guys try and hit a certain total of net carbs or just carbs in general? I've been reading it's really dependent on the individual. I personally go for 25-30g net carbs.
At first, under 30g. Once fully keto adapted, you can hover around 50-70g and still remain in ketosis (most can). I try to keep carbs mainly from veggies though.
Ok....I'm going to look up what I can find online to educate myself with the keto diet. My wife, due to a foot injury was unable to run for nearly 2 years. She was soon everything she could to avoid surgery for plantar fasciitis and succeeded, but only after gaining 40 pounds. She also went back to school plus works full time. We are in our early 40's. We try to eat as healthy as we can but sometimes fall off the wagon. If this is something that may jump start her weight loss in the beginning, she just may be willing to do it. She's pretty knowledgable on fitness and eating right so she will be skeptical about this until I give her some good material to read.
For me, it only took a couple days because I made sure fats were 75% of the diet and I lowered protein levels. Its really hard for anyone who works out to trust that they don't need that much protein on a keto diet and they often keep it higher...which then keeps you out of ketosis (via gluconeogenesis) and tehy end up feeling like crap for a longer period of time. Once keto adapted you can raise protein but I generally only keep it at 1g/kg of lean mass and I have no issues. In fact, strength goes up and recovery is great. I also use bcaa's during a keto diet because its shown that leucine oxidation is reduced during ketosis as opposed to a classic 40/40/20 split.

I do the same. However I cant kick my body out of 30 g of carbs a day. I've also never really met anyone who can eat over 60 grams of carbs a day and not kick themselves out of ketosis. More power to you for being able to eat 50-70 grams of it. Everyone's body is different but I would just try and not go over that many carbs
Takes a long term for those who just started to get fully keto adapted..up to 6 weeks minimum.
Its actually pretty easy.
Avocados are a heaven sent on keto! If I'm ever lacking my macros significantly I eat avocados! Also put coconut oil on anything you cook. That easily amps up your fat without you even having to do much. Also make sure that 2700 is what you need as your calorie goal because if it's not keto is pointless! But add avocados and coconut oil to your next shopping trip!
My maintenance is around 2600-2800. I'm taking in 3600 atm
Brocolli, or Brussel sprouts or asparagus and siracha mayo.. the veggies are sauteed in a half inch of oil..
Mashed Cauliflower and Asparagus with Parmesan cheese.
Not true there is no reason you couldn't eat ton of bacon!!! Saturated fats aren't bad, dietary cholesterol isn't bad, and that leaves only sodium so cut it from other sources and while keto that helps drain salt. So no reason you can't
2 is so important!!!!! People avoid carbs to much while on keto when small amounts can increase ketones and people also like to neglected fibers, when while keto you want as much fiber as you can handle
Veggies, nuts, beans and the right fruits in small amounts
Angrily small portions
Salad, sautéed onions bells and mushrooms, mashed cauliflower, home baked starches made from almond flour, squash/zucchini, more bell pepper, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, broc, and hot sauce and cheese all the things.
-Broccoli and cheese
Very true haha
Limited Greek yogurt.
I usually eat 1 c Greek yogurt with 100g blueberries and 50g strawberries.
If you're (or anyone) just starting keto I highly don't recommend eating yogurt whatsoever. Maybe once your body gets really adapted to keto, even then it could be a little risky. If you intake no carbs whatsoever all day then I'd say some yogurt is fine.
Plain Greek yogurt has very little carbs
9g/cup. I'd rather save those for something more fulfilling
no carbs for me has never been a issue. longest ive been between carb meals has been 60 days. i would say the initial 3-10 days is the worst but once your body and brain are on the same channel its easy. i remember being in prep and second guessing my coach lol he laughed when i said "are you sure you want me to have this cheat meal, i can keep going without them if i needed"
