I've been on a keto diet since Jan 1, down 35lbs (yeahhhh) You can eat some insanely delicious things (cheese stuffed chicken wings wrapped in bacon) just fine, btw Anyway, a lot of the advice I've gotten from others experienced with the diet about exercise has been that cardio isn't so great and resistance/weights are much better. I waited about a month before I started doing cardio and aside from an abnormally dry mouth it hasn't been too bad. I definitely recommend not starting both keto and exercise at the same time. At the very least, wait until you get through the keto flu. | ||

The basic rule is calories in = calories out for maintenance. Once you've lost the weight and you go back to a normal diet, you shouldn't be gaining weight if the daily calorie intake = calorie output. I don't exactly remember the science but I was slowly phasing in carbs towards the end of my ketogenic diet - it wasn't a simple matter of 'hurrah, time to destroy carbs again'. Your metabolism also plays a huge role in dieting: I made the mistake of suddenly cutting like 500-700 calories off my usual daily intake and as a result, my metabolism suffered at the end of my diet and I was gaining weight back even though I was eating under the recommended daily calorie intake for maintenance. Slowly shave off say 50 calories (not sure of the exact number) per week until you hit your targeted deficit calorie intake to ensure your metabolism doesn't suffer. Towards the end of your diet I would start slowly phasing in carbs day by day and up'ing your calorie intake slowly. Don't jump from say 1500 calories -> 2xxx (whatever your ideal calorie intake is for your height/weight/body fat%) calories, slowly add calories and make sure you're still maintaining your ideal weight. In fact, just read Layne Norton articles regarding dieting and stop asking advice from amateurs like me in starcraft forums. And yeah, ketogenic diets are great for the first few weeks (think bacon wrapped anything) but you'll get sick of it sooner or later haha. | ||

Now on the off days of cardio I'm filling it in with weights at the gym with my buds. My body can handle it, it's okay to do right? | ||

I'm pretty much against 'diet', just follow one simple rule and you'll be golden: EAT REAL FOOD (here's a link: http://web.archive.org/web/20100505050501/http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/2008/6/4/nutrition-101-the-one-rule-to-remember/) 'Real food' will often equate to a much lower processed carb intake, which generally means lower carb overall. Let’s keep it simple: Eat real foods, preferably in their natural state. I think it’s pretty easy to figure out what is “food” and what isn’t. A few things to remember: Food grows and dies. It isn’t created. Food rots, wilts, and becomes generally unappetizing, typically rather quickly. Food doesn’t need an ingredient label (and probably isn’t in a package either). Food doesn’t have celebrity endorsements. Food doesn’t make health claims. Let’s give some foods this simple test and see if we should eat them: Broccoli - Most certainly a real food Steak - Deliciously real food, straight off the cow Oreo cookies - Hold while I read the ingredients. Are you serious? Eggs - Bingo Walnuts - Check Spaghetti - I don’t recall seeing a spaghetti tree on my last hike Pop-Tarts - Just seeing if you’re paying attention Pasteurized/Homogenized Milk - Nope, not in its natural state Raw Milk - Yep, real food, naturally | ||

That doesn't coincide with a sudden shift from meat to starch though. I didn't say starch was invented a couple centuries ago, said they became a major part of the normal diet. | ||

Took him approximately 9 months? I believe, and he lost about 80 pounds on the keto diet. Went from 260 to 180. | ||

He also just made a 5-day meal plan as well for people that are interested in doing what he did. Took him approximately 9 months? I believe, and he lost about 80 pounds on the keto diet. Went from 260 to 180. I'd like to see it if you don't mind. As a newcomer to keto, any bit of info helps. | ||
