I am sure. My broken toilet seats beg to differ.
Could be, however....if you do a diet and then cheat you feel bad. I may gain a pound or two one week and lose 6 the next. I don't ever worry about it in the long run.
If you think you are going to count carbs/avoid them for the rest of your life you are fooling yourself. I played basketball for 3 hours a night and lifted weights when I was 25. I ate shit food. You can't do that forever.
I think you will find the term common sense in a post of mine a few posts back.
Just a bunch of gobbledygook. Life isn't about phases of this and that. Atkins is like common core math, a roundabout way of coming to an already obvious conclusion.
Juicing isn't a big keto diet thing. Many veggies have a lot of carbs and they're to be avoided (like carrots). Only berries in small quantities are good on my diet, so I wouldn't be making fruit juices.
Juicing may also kill the fiber content, and fiber is really good on my diet.
I calculate "net carbs" as total carbs minus fiber and try to keep my net carbs under 25 a day at this point. I foresee a time when I've lost the wait I'm hoping to lose where I'll bump the carbs from 25 to 100 or even 150 a day.
I do have a single serving blender that I make chocolate almond milk with. Sometimes I add peanut butter. It's yummy either way
I found this on reddit, and they basically say the same thing:
Note: this diet is my own concoction. I'm walking 5 miles a day and eating a lot more protein than a traditional keto diet recommends. I have no "macros" that I'm following, either. I just read the food labels and eat things with low carbs, assuring I eat about as many grams of veggies as protein. I don't avoid low-fat foods, but I don't seek them out either. I've even put heaps of butter on some veggies or in recipies.
So I'm trying the low carb thing and it's not too bad. The hardest part is figuring out what kind of foods to eat.
For low carbs, there isn't anything really good to satisfy a craving for something sweet. I've found a couple of things, though, that aren' too bad.
I put two teaspoons of peanut butter, a teaspoon of zevia, and a teaspoon of low carb cocoa powder in a blender with a cup of almond milk. Yummy.
I also found a low carb vanilla yogurt that tastes real sweet.
Going out to eat at restaurants is really easy. Roast chicken and a salad and steamed vegetables. There's a place nearby that has these rattlesnake jalapeño peppers wrapped in bacon as an appetizer and they have great cheeseburgers (no bun, of course).
The really tough one is breakfast. Fruit is high in carbs, and I really like it as a side dish for breakfast. Bacon, Sausage, and Eggs are great, but I'm probably going to get real tired of the same thing every day
It's been 3 days and I've lost about 6 pounds. I'm aiming to eat 50g carbs or less, and I've been having a hard time breaking 20.
I just read up on "net carbs" and I think I'm going to count those instead of raw carbs. But I'm only going to take raw carb # and subtract fiber. The sugar alcohol bit seems like a scam to me.
