Ketogenic Diet

Well thats me started again. I lost 2 1/2 stone in 3 months in 2019. Then piled it all back on when I came off it.
looking forward to my first weigh in next Saturday.

Congratulations to all of you who have done this diet and succeeded. I have read all pages on this thread and I am re inspired.
 
Currently smashing the insanity workout with Keto and Omad combined for a final shred.

Wont be fooking long now!

Lost three stone now in five and half months , need a few more pounds to get into normal range( 3Ibs) and where i was four yrs ago when i did my shoulder and the weight gain started and to give myself some wiggle room when i start adding carbs back in (7Ibs, ten in total)

Absolutely comfy on keto

I am a veggie so it is very different to a meat eaters version and i dont eat eggs , also i am very picky eater

I eat twice a day with a 16/17 hr overnight fast

Breakfast is half a big pot of full fat plain greek yogurt , fresh berries , strawbs and blackberries my favs, a keto nut bar , that has about four different nuts in and that is a perfect balance of fat and protein and keeps me full till the afternoon

My tea is based on salad veggies and green veggies and i will add sausages or burgers , veg bake with full fat cheese and walnuts or seeds like pumpkin seeds

Sugar free jelly and a tablespoon of clotted cream

A meat eater needs to give you a idea of their menu so you can get a better picture

I was eating non stop junk , every time my hand was free i had junk food and heavy carbs like crumpets and jam in it , the first week or so on keto is a nightmare as you get rid of all the sugar and carbs but after that you get a clearer head and loads of energy , never feel hungry , it is very easy for me but long term can be difficult for some

Scroll down and it says what you eat and menu ideas

I was diagnosed as Pre - diabetic just before Christmas with a blood reading of 43 mmol. I’m pretty happy with my weight so don’t really want to lose any but considering trying Keto . Anyone been in a similar position ?

Ketogenic diets are very effective at achieving two common aims of diabetes control, lowering blood glucose levels and reducing weight.

If you have large portions you may be able to stop weight loss , run it by your dr or nurse first though , maybe start slow

Dr told me not to worry out it ! But my chlorestorel is high also so I intend to do something about it . I work on building site and I was eating microwave meals every day , crisps , plastic pots of Porridge. All these things I now realise are full of sugar and I’ve cut out . I’ve been on diabetic forums ect and there’s lots of conflicting advice regarding Pre-Diabetes. I will keep researching .

Sounds like keto is not for you if you have a high cholesterol, ask the dr , a sensible diet might be what you need , that will get your sugar down naturally

The key is how to manage it once you get to your target.

If you’re going to reintroduce carbs - which I do recommend as we do need them (just not to the levels some people eat them) - I’d say only go for wholewheat/wholegrain versions (higher in complex carbs, protein, fibre, iron, magnesium, and zinc, and gives a more steady release of sugars) and introduce physical activity or up your physical activity if you’re already doing some.

Thanks , i have been mulling over what to do , i have been excersing , just fast walking around my garden and indoors front to back door as many times as i can manage and was gardening till the winter , that is all i can do as i have fibro

Getting back into my usual veggie diet with beans and legumes was what i was thinking of starting off with

All along i have had clotted cream with sugar free jelly most days but i am craving a good old cream tea, might go mad and break keto with that first lol
