So you cant really have rice and beans right?
basically cant do sushi too?

and believe it or not corn tortillas aren't that low carb either so you cant do tacos or taquitos

How carb heavy is brown rice?

>>12608767
Cum is keto friendly, but I'm sure you already knew that

Enjoy your heart disease dumdum

>>12608778
im going to do it for like 2 weeks.
and I thought it helped against that shit?

>>12608767

Yeah, don't do keto.

>>12608784
whys that

>>12608785
its bullshit invented by fat people as an excuse to eat more fat

>>12608792
Ive done Keto
Keto is the fastest way to burn fat ive ever seen, and made me feel like a million bucks, as I spent my life wearing a 15 pound backpack and it was taken off of me.
Many top athletes are on he diet for periods of time.
and apparently it fights cancer and heart disease

>>12608767
any kind of decent keto crackers or chips?

>>12608828
cracklings/pork rinds are the closest thing to it, and keto/carnivore friendly

>>12608767
Don't. Fat is more calorie dense than carbs and proteins. Carbs aren't bad for you, fats aren't bad for you and neither are proteins (duh)
Calories in calories out. Eat a balanced diet.

>>12608792
What you said is a bullshit excuse to ignore results and facts

>>12608860
Carbs are converted by your body into sugars which are then stored rather than burned like fats. You're a fucking idiot.

>>12608860
1. you lose fat faster on keto than any diet
2. carbs are over all not good for you as they turn into sugar and sugar is the source of allllllll disease and problems we have.

Sugars are your bodies preferred fuel source you dumb cunt.
They get used first.
The bro science on this board is mind boggling in its ignorance.

>>12608904
does not mean it's the best fuel source long-term, you dumb cunt

>>12608904
They're a good fuel source if you're active throughout the entire day, not if you're a retarded fatso that sits at the computer all day.

>>12608828
Fricos.
Shred cheese. Place cheese on nonstick mat on pan. Place in 350° oven until edges are browned. Wait longer for more crispy ones. Pull from oven, cool on rack. Keeps well in an airtight container.
They're essentially cheese crackers.

>>12608937
thanks, can make cheese its by cutting cheddar and putting it on a aluminum foil and toasting them I guess

>>12608904
our average sugar intake is off the charts though lad.

>>12608807
>apparently
And vaccines also "apparently" cause autism. It's this soft, vague bullshit that allows this unhealthy fad to stay mainstream. Complete carbohydrate elimination is not a net positive for your body, it only seems that way because the majority of people that turn to keto are fucking fatasses that have been stuffing their faces with candy and chips and soda all goddamn day. Any weight loss will have an effect on how they feel but your body going "thank fucking christ your shedding some of your fatass" doesn't mean it's fighting cancer or heart disease.

And don't even get me started on how poorly most people implement keto in the first place. "Just finished my butter, bacon, and cheese breakfast! Feeling so great! #ketorocks #healthychoices #hahaI'mkillingmyself."

>>12608767
low carb bullet

For the last time. Eat a BALANCED and HEALTHY diet that suits YOUR lifestyle. Be active, only eat when your hungry, and only eat until you’re full.

I’m don’t know HOW we are still falling for fad diets in 2019 but enough is enough.

>>12608767
everyone here is a fat retard who is giving you bad advice. they probably even convinced themselves that they're telling the truth so they can justify not going on the laziest yet still effective diet ever.

Learn how to make Fathead pizza dough. You can use this for pizza, but also for a "bun", taco/burrito shells, etc. There are many uses for this crust. Be sure to skip the egg when making the dough. You can also make taco shells by melting cheese in the oven or in a pan on parchment paper - experiment with the type of cheese used, how thinly spread the cheese is on the parchment paper, etc. You'll have to dab off excess grease, but it makes for a satisfying taco shell.

For snacks, meats and cheeses. Beef jerky is great for a travel snack, but you can buy the meat and cheese combo packs at any gas station - just check the carbs because a lot of jerky relies on sugar for flavoring. I also make keto gummy worms out of beef gelatin, sugar free jello mix, and sugar free kool-aid mix. You can even get ascorbic acid crystals to make them sour. You could get fruit or almonds to enjoy in very small portions, just keep an eye on your macros. Look up Fatbombs also - there are many varieties so pick your poison.

For everyone saying that keto is detrimental to your health - I've been on it for 9 months (with a break here and there) and I lost 100 lbs. My bloodwork showed dramatic improvements all around. My only problem was a slightly low level of potassium and magnesium, which I supplement daily, but I avoided these during my 24 hour fast prior to the bloodwork. You can get magnesium tablets or magnesium citrate, and "nu-salt", "no salt", "salt lite" or some other version of potassium chloride to get your potassium. Calcium is important also, but it's counteracted by the magnesium, so take one supplement early in the day and the other a bit later.

>>12608998

Stay focused on the diet and be diligent - this will make you "fat adapted" sooner. The more fat adapted you are, the easier it will be for you to slip back into ketosis if you happen to have a significant cheat meal and kick yourself out of it. Cheat meals are fine, like twice a month or so, but try to avoid them for the first few months until you're fat adapted. Listen to your body - you might be eating at the regular hours for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but you might not be actually hungry. Listen to your body and you might be able to skip meals. It took me too long to figure this out, and it almost negated my need for snacks. I now eat one meal a day (intermittent fasting) and this does wonders for the diet.

Google things you don't know and find a credible source. Avoid blogs at all cost. Sometimes add "reddit" to the search and you can see if a claim is bullshit, because the internet loves to correct itself for meaningless points. Be on the lookout for new recipes and feel free to experiment. You don't want to eat the same fuckin meal for months - you want variety. And good luck man, you'll be so happy that you did this. A 100 lb weight loss is almost indescribably orgasmic.

>>12608978
no goofy, the science says Keto has positive health effects.
I understand Butter bacon every meal isn't good.

>>12608996
people report feeling better than they ever have, including top athletes who were already in shape and had good diets.

>>12608998
God, I hate you. Eating pure fat is not healthy and it never will be. You need some of everything in moderation. That’s the healthiest way to live. If you wanna lose weight quickly the best way is fasting not ketosis anyway. If you want to be healthy the best way is a balanced diet. Period.

You people don’t realize you sound like a women on Dr. Oz talking about how Nutrisystem or Jenny Cregg diets are the best thing ever.

>>12608996
Yeah! Eat BALANCED and HEALTHY. Never mind that doctors don't even know what healthy is. Healthy and balanced food advice has changed a million times in the past 80 years. People should follow the diets that work for them.

>>12609012
No, the science really doesn't. I feel sorry for scientific illiterates that swallow this bullshit hook line and sinker.

>>12608978
>Complete carbohydrate elimination
look at this stupid piece of shit. you don't completely eliminate carbs when on keto - nice goalpost moving though. Keto can indeed fight cancer, but not all cancers.

>>12608807
>and apparently it fights cancer and heart disease
I'm not a scientist but I think the cancer fighting has to do with starving the cancer cells of sugars. There's also Autophagy, which is a relatively newly discovered, naturally occuring process in the body. Your body breaks down "junk" cells into amino acids to fuel the creation of new, healthy cells. Fasting increases the rate of autophagy. Autophagy helps tremendously with loose skin that people usually suffer from as a result of losing too much weight too quickly. I've done 4-5 day fasts and they were cakewalks. And when fasting you have this incredible feeling of lucidity that I haven't experienced elsewhere. I even had a dark lesion on my chest (which I was concerned was pre-cancerous) completely vanish thanks to autophagy.

Look up Dr Rhonda Patrick if you're interested in learning more about keto or autophagy.

>>12609018
>Eating pure fat is not healthy and it never will be
look at this stupid piece of shit, continuing to move the goalposts. please contemplate suicide - the world would be SIGNIFICANTLY better without you. You bring nothing of value to the world and only make things worse for everyone you interact with.

>>12608978
I know it's an anecdote but my sister has nonhodgkins lymphoma and it went into remission after she went on a keto diet. There's merit to it possibly helping with some cancers.

I looked up an example KETO diet and it’s literally
>eggs every single morning
>bunch of nuts and ham & cheese slices for lunch
>pork chops, steak, etc for dinner

Great, here’s your “diet” bro.

>>12609041
Talk about moving goalposts, this post is pure cringe.

Keto snacks dont make much sense.
Usually you eat 2-3 meals a day and you dont feel the need to supplement with small meals in between due to suppression of hunger hormones from eating fat/protein.

>>12609055
oh I get it, you think you're "trolling" by intentionally misinforming people. yeah, I'd go with suicide if I were you.

Are you people literally retarded?

Keto eliminates sugars from your diet.
Sugar is the worst problem in all of our health.
Sugar is associated with brain, stomach/ digestion, and now even heart disease.
Doctors are continuously back peddling on Fat being a problem and now theorize that fat being compounded with sugar inflaming your blood vessel is a bigger problem for heart disease
Top athletes and regular people say it makes them feel better than ever, mentally and physically.
Keto helps people lose fat faster than any diet out there.

why are you guys so triggered

>people saying calories in calories out unironically
>people calling keto magic because they don't understand it
The reason keto works is that if you want to lose fat you have to be in a state where you're burning fat. This means you have to have periods where your insulin is low and you're out of readily available fuel. Limiting carbs removes the insulin spikes and high fat foods make it easier not to overeat compared to high-carb food. The removal of fructose is an added bonus because the way its metabolised leads to more body fat. Is keto magic or the perfect diet for everyone? No. Can it be a useful tool for some to lose weight? Yes.

There really aren't any good keto snacks. Keto is great for losing weight, but terrible as far as food variety goes. Just eat one or two big meals a day and you should be fine.

>Keto

>>12609154
It’s not science, it’s Joe Rogan, bro teir vice news blade runner 2049 science. The truth is eating a diet of 80% carbs (vegetables) can be optimal for some people. And ketosis can be harmful long term ( look up what the word actually means)

>>12609196

Stop looking for the easy way out.

It’s nutrition not rocket science. There is no secret life hack to losing weight and being healthy. You are grown adult men falling for some Atkins tier middle-aged women fad diet instead of just taking responsibility for your eating habits. Stop looking for the easy way out.

Yeah these trigger me the most as well, don't even tell them about intermittent fasting. It's all about hormones. Same with exercise, it isn't about burning calories, it's about lowering your insulin resistance.

>Stop looking for the easy way out.
Why? In a sense nutrition is rocket science because if it was easily understood there wouldn't be any argument. Far too little is known about the effects of diet on human bodies. People have tried "eat less, excercise more" since forever and it almost never succeeds, because the human body doesn't respond to that approach by burning body fat, but by lowering your metabolism. If keto is easier then you should do it. If fasting is easier do it. If vegan is easier do it.

Thanks good tips. I started strict Keto around 3 months ago (I was already active and worked out but ate a lot of carbs, sugar and beer so I was pretty flabby). I went from 240-190 and I'm getting compliments on how good I look for the first time in years. I'd almost recommend it as a cutting tool as opposed to a serious diet, since the weight loss slows down eventually and it seems hard to maintain. The trick is not to fall for the all fat memes, you have to eat a good balance of protein/veggies/nuts/fats. Some fruits are pretty good too, I love blackberries and raspberries for example. You don't have to eat zero carbs, just under 20g a day.

Just lost 40lbs on keto in 5 months. My go to snacks were roasted lightly salted almonds, cheese, olives, macadamia nuts, & prosciutto. The main thing is to get full from your meals & try not snack. I really only snacked at night when we ate an early dinner. You’d be amazed what a handful of nuts & some water can do when your hungry.

You're going to want to back that up with some meals so stock up on bacon, eggs, and lettuce wraps.

But it's impossible to count calories as the FDA allows calorie markers to be up to 20% off.

>>12610257
Just because calories are what determine weight gain or loss doesn’t mean the only solution is to autistically count calories. If you switch from a processed foods based diet to a whole foods based diet which is much more nourishing and filling, you will naturally eat less calories

You cannot have cheese and cured meats for every meal. This will make your cholesterol go up dramatically and kill you within a decade. If you do eat those things, eat them in very small amounts. You want good fats from things like nuts and avacados and certain oils. Couple that with a good amount of protein. Leave the fat on your steaks/porkchops and eat it. Leave the skin on your chicken. Stay away from highly processed keto snacks like puffs, crackers, breads, etc. These are all fake news and will still cause insulin spikes. ignore reviews that say they didn't knock anyone out of keto. You still have to abide by caloric restriction as well. You can't just pig out on sausage and cheese and heavy cream like those faggots on reddit do. There's slightly more wiggle room in calorie intake due to the way your body processes food during ketosis, as you don't store fat as readily. so if you are eating 2000 on a regular diet, then you can probably get away with 2300 on keto. ignore any faggot on 4chan who starts talking about thermodynamics because a fucking cup of hot water doesn't have metabolic pathways. that's just /fit/ trying to rationalize why their diet of steroids and sugary protein drinks aren't the way some people get results.

i suggest eating chicken, turkey, and green veggies daily. have a steak and pork once or twice a month. this will keep your cholesterol in check. try not to snack too much. but obviously cheese, veggies, jerky, nuts, certain berries, are okay. stay away from starchy vegetables like all potatoes (Even sweet). some nuts have high carbs too like cashews. if you have a snack habbit, this is the time to break it. you don't need to constantly eat while surfing the internet or playing vidya.

Can you cure type 2 diabetes with keto? I think I developed diabetes after drinking copious amount of beer every day.

>>12611831
Yes. keto is a dietary treatment for type II.

>>12611834
I am not even sure I have it. Blood work always comes back fine. I sure as hell have the symptoms (extreme thirst and craving for sugary shit during the night, fatigue, constant UTIs)

>>12611875
sounds like inflammation issues, and you may need to drink a shit load more water than you do.

>>12609992
literally no science backs this

How about you just stop eating fatty

>>12608978
Reminder that anti keto people are basically anti science

Are they anti kidney? I hate kidneys but you need them to live.

>>12611831
No
There is zero evidence that low-carbohydrate diets can cure or reverse diabetes. Actually given that high fat intakes, especially saturated, contribute to insulin resistance, the premise itself is not really viable.
>>12611875
Just buy a glucose meter and measure your values after a meal and in the morning, or when you experience symptoms (which would be when glucose should be high).

>>12614670
How does that make any sense when the entire keto movement is founded on rejecting established science and ignoring reality?

>>12614700
(((Established science)))

I dont care what anyone says, keto saved my life from my crippling chronic fatigue syndrome.

>>12611831
My A1C went from a 5.9 to a 5.1. I think keto with a strict eating schedule helped.

>>12608767
I did strict keto for 3 months, then low carb for the next three; I lost 50 lbs in ~ 6 months. But since then I discovered fasting and I have to say it's significantly better. So my advice is >>12610278

How do you make your zoodles? Do you have to splurge on one of these?

>>12614692
>Actually given that high fat intakes, especially saturated, contribute to insulin resistance
Are you sure they're not taking people who ate a high-carb diet with a lot of saturated fats and then just blaming the fats when there could be other factors?

>>12611831
No, plant based diet.

>>12611875
You can be pre-diabetic and have the symptoms. Extreme thirst is a symptom of high blood sugar. But it's also a symptom of dehydration. You said you drink a lot of beer, alcohol is a diuretic. You probably need to hydrate and get some electrolytes in you.

Hey, dingdong! Keto 4+ years. Just had a full blood panel and physical. Nearly perfect scores. All I have to do is tweak my dietary omega 3 to omega 6 ratios a little bit (I'm thinkin more 'deenz), and I will be 100%. FYI: perfect kidney and liver function scores, too. For my genetics, keto IS a viable long-term diet.

>>12608767
My favorite snacks are dark chocolate, roasted pumpkin seeds, and pork rinds.

>>12608998
Things I eat for potassium: avocado, pumpkin seeds, spinach. I don't really believe in vitamin supplements. If you need them, your choice of foods isn't varied enough.

>>12608767
Eat a small snack of cured meats on some bread. That'll do you.

>>12608767
If you're European, the local doner is your friend for when you have to grab a quick bite out - doner boxes are just meat and fresh vegs.
Speaking of fresh vegs, don't listen to the most orthodox keto people and eat a lot of them. I've had someone tell me that a bell pepper has too much sugar for keto, and that kind of outlook is precisely what cause the problems commonly associated with keto.
You'll find that you'll stop craving snacks in a short time. But if you do, again, fresh vegs are your friend, maybe dipped in something for taste.

I have epilepsy, have been on multiple different medications with quite high doses and none have worked. I've been getting recommended the keto diet as a way to treat my seizures, does anyone have any experience with this?

>>12608767
Oreos are pretty good

>>12617995
>The "classic" ketogenic diet is a special high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in some people with epilepsy.
>Doctors usually recommend the ketogenic diet for children whose seizures have not responded to several different seizure medicines.
>The typical "classic" ketogenic diet, called the "long-chain triglyceride diet," provides 3 to 4 grams of fat for every 1 gram of carbohydrate and protein.
>It is prescribed by a physician and carefully monitored by a dietitian.

>>12617995
I would 100% try it.
My theory the last 10 years has been that bad bacteria overgrowth is the main cause of all of our health issues. (Obviously sugar feeds bad bacteria)
I love the few days of keto flu some get as i can feel the mass die off of bacteria in the body, i supplement it with heavy ginger and garlic to destroy more bacteria, then i do heavier pro biotics. Its like you can feel the bacteria in your head and sinuses dying.

I do keto only for 2 weeks, but i do this once every few years to reset my digestive system, lose some weight and get some good health habits going.
Gets easier every time.

>>12608767
Wendy's triple baconator with no bun is keto. you just need to ask for the sauce on the side and use one packet each

>>12608767
Just eat a spoonful of peanut butter for lunch and then for dinner boil some cabbage and eat a can of tuna.
