Alright! I'm in!

Hey Broskis, You guys have inspired me to get back on Keto!  I stepped on the scale this morning at 232 lbs.  That's my top end.  Based on my past experience (if I stay on track...) the first few pounds will drop quick.  I've recently been in the habit of eating a lot of salty snacks late at night which is the worst thing to do (I need a better way to deal with aggravation/stress, etc.) To be honest I have been ambivalent about the ketogenic diet recently.  It can't be good or sustainable long term to eliminate a whole macronutrient group from your diet.  I have been trying intermittent fasting.  The health benefits of it are great and I have experienced them. It's been hard for me to lose much weight doing it though because it is difficult for me to eat healthier when I am in my eating window. But really Keto IS a type of fast.  You're fasting carbs.  It's great to take a break from them, especially the processed sugary ones, for 3 to 6 months or even mor

First!

Konichiwa, bitches! Well, I am the last to the Keto party, having started it only this past Sunday. My first weigh in was 331 and I will say that despite eating perfectly since then with no alcohol and even done one day of intermittent fasting I have lost NO weight as of this morning and am still not in ketosis. I am not discouraged however as I am sure my liver and muscles were all full of glycogen when I kicked the diet off and that it's simply taking time to burn thru it all. I did legs in the gym this morning and my body felt completely wooden like I had no gas in the tank at all, so hopefully this means that I've almost burned it off and that I'll soon be fat adapted.
