stock up on sparkling mineral water and rooibos tea, really comes in handy when you need a bit of beverage variety. also get some really dark chocolate (90% minimum).

stock up on string cheese or jerky (watch the jerky though a lot of brands like to put sweet stuff in jerky). olives are good.

fat balls are also a good snack but don't subsist on them. its easy to make them just get some cocoa powder (cocoa powder by itself has little sugar) and nut butter (I wouldn't recommend peanut butter but you can eat it, just that theres better options for nut butter like almond butter and you should stay the hell away from nutella), some salt and a splash of milk maybe, make a bunch of balls, and then stick them in the fridge.

keto flu is an actual thing but it only lasts for a day or two at longest. Kust keep munching on your snacks to tide you over and dump some flavored water down your throat.

you can still eat cheeseburgers if you swap out the buns for big huge chunks of lettuce leaves (i personally think it lets you enjoy and appreciate the flavor of the ingredients more without the bun in the way so its a much more enjoyable experience for me) and stay the fuck away from ketchup or bbq sauce or mayo, but keto bbq sauce does exist. in n out burgers if you live in california makes burgers in this style and it's very good.

nut or soy or coconut milk is a very good replacement for cooking with milk. almond flour as well makes a good substitute for regular flower. stay away from the sweetened stuff.

people will say you can't shit on keto but usually if you can't shit on keto you're not eating enough greens.

we joke about how la croix tastes like shit but once you get used to it, it's not at all that bad really and it won't throw you off keto if you don't exclusively drink it considering that the fruit juice in it is sparse. it also tastes like actual fruit too.

cauliflower is a good rice replacement, believe it or not. chop that shit up and make a casserole out of it and it becomes amazing.

your liver is going through a lot in this time so make an effort to drink water. water in general can fill you up if you drink it.

This is the way. People act like keto is about eating nothing but bacon and cheese, but really it is about eating masses of vegetables. A good keto dinner is something like a quarter of a plate of cauliflower cheese, half a plate of broccoli and other greens, and nice pork meatballs for the rest. Another hot tip for people in this thread is that some lactose free milks (like lactofree in the uk) have lower carb content than regular milk. I believe it's removed to prevent the lasctose free milk tasting too sweet. Anyway, mixing lactofree milk and almond milk is a winner.

My honest advice is that you should, if you really must do it, remember that it should only be short term and not let yourself get lost in the world of meme dieting or macronutrient shaming. Approach a keto diet more like a fast than a lifestyle or long term way of eating.

My second piece of advice is that, if you really must do it, don't use it as an excuse to eat a tonne of bacon and sausages and other processed meats. A carcinogenic food is till carcinogeneic even if you're in magical fat burning ketoland. And limit the proteins and eat your nuts, seeds and veges.

Diet is far FAR more important in terms of overall body composition than exercise.

Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym. That being said, exercise helps with loose skin and resistance training strengthens muscles and bones. If you go from fatty to skinny without exercise you will certainly look better than you did, but exercise rounds everything out.

Weight loss' goal is to lose fat, not muscle.

Sorry you're illiterate anon. ketosis is the production and burning of ketones to fuel the body, ketoacidosis is acidic blood pH accompanied by extremely high ketones (it's the acidosis that is dangerous, it just turns out to be easier to detect the accompanying ketones than the acidosis, so that's what originally keyed the doctors in to the problem).

You're right about the acidosis part at least, but someone from the keto camp really needs to explain to me why they think:
-Relying on gluconeogenesis and ketones is superior to consuming glucose, on a long term diet.
-Cholesterol is necessary to ingest in diet, and why they don't care about consuming too much of it.

>Relying on gluconeogenesis and ketones is superior to consuming glucose, on a long term diet.
glucose stresses the endocrine system, and in the standard american diet this stress can be high enough to cause it to fail. type 2 diabetes is one common result, though there are others (the evidence is piling up that alzheimers is another result of this stress). if your body can handle carbs fine then knock yourself out and eat as high carb as you want. some people can, some people can't.
>Cholesterol is necessary to ingest in diet, and why they don't care about consuming too much of it.
keto people don't believe that it's necessary to ingest cholesterol, they just know it doesn't matter much, for reasons such as
- even on a HFLC diet the body produces much more cholesterol than you will consume
- the total cholesterol number turns out to be meaningless, its importance came from the early days of cholesterol testing when that was the only test we had. the composition of the cholesterol is much more important, in particular the ratio of LDL to triglycerides.
- on a HFLC diet the body produces mostly harmless HDL and relatively little of the dangerous LDL, on a high-carb diet the ratio is reversed. additionally, a high carb diet produces high levels of triglycerides while a high-fat low-carb diet lowers them dramatically. the result is a HFLC diet results in high overall cholesterol but it's the harmless kind, a high carb diet results in lower overall cholesterol but it's mostly the dangerous kind.

Eat whatever the fuck you want that isn't sugar/flour/grain/beans/rice/fruit or most things that grow underground like potatoes, carrots, etc. You can still use a bit of onion for flavor while cooking of course, just don't eat 'em like you would apples and you'll be fine. As a general rule of thumb if a veggie is sweet avoid it or eating too much of it, for example don't go around substituting burger buns with halved red bell peppers. Use mushrooms for that, and lettuce/cabbage as taco containers.

Add fat to everything (butter, olive oil, coconut oil, heavy cream, hard cheeses, eggs, etc), eat a shit ton of raw leafy-green salad as well as cooked veggies like broccoli/cauliflower. I love to each raw cabbage but you can cook it too. Make sure to eat enough protein otherwise your body will feed off your muscles instead of fat, but don't go overboard. Something along the lines of 4 bacon strips and a steak per day, or 2 chicken breasts per day, or a salmon fillet and a handful of shrimp per day - along those lines.
The most important thing though is to not snack and eat very few times, reduce it to 2 meals or even 1, depending if you want to lose weight.

TL;DR Just eat like you do right now, but do it less times each day and take out the rice/potatoes/spaghetti from your plate, changing them out for butter-flowing broccoli or a vinaigrette-drenched spinach/arugula/lettuce salad with bacon bits and cheese squares.
Even if you fuck up your ratios or ingredients it's ok, can't be any worse than what you're eating right now anyway.

This is kinda bad, you cant eat a lot of meat during keto because of gluconeogenesis. You really have to get most of your energy from fat while eating moderate amounts of protein. If you don't you can lose muscle mass instead of fat as it prevents you from being in ketosis. If you cook a 400g pack of meat it should last 2 days.

Good meal would be something like a creamy cauliflower soup with -some- bacon sprinkled over it. Soups are great because it's easy to increase the fat amount in it with cream, cheese, creme fraiche without ruining the mouth feel.

Ok newbie question, my barely-1st-world country (Portugal) doesn't have all the fancy sweeteners easily available and from my 2mins of research Stevia is a much better alternative to Aspartame (which is the only one found everywhere).

Are the two stevia products in my image safe for Keto? If so Which is best?
Product on the left:
>"Stevia liquid"
>Average nutritional values per 100ml: Prepared: Energy: 133.00 kJ / 31.00 kcal; Carbohydrates: 7.80 g, of which sugars: 7.80 g
>Demineralized water, agave syrup, sweetener: steviol glycosides, preservative: sorbic acid.
Product on the right:
>"Sweetener Huxol Stevia 125ml"
>Ingredients: bulking agent: erythritol, sweetener: steviol glycosides (0.8%), natural flavors

Aspartame is fine, it's probably the most heavily tested artificial sweetener out there. The claims that it causes cancer come from rat studies where the rats were given orders of magnitude more aspartame by dietary percentage than humans, and even then the evidence was not very strong. It's never been observed in humans, despite decades of attempts. But that rat study got hyped to the moon, the failures to replicate it get ignored as "not news".

I think they do spike your insulin though isn't that true? Your body reacts to the sweetness thinking it is more sugar then it is producing more than needed.

No this effect occurred with sucralose in one study with tissue in Petri dishes iirc, but multiple attempts to replicate this effect in both rats and humans have failed.
Mind you, sucralose is most commonly found under the brand Splenda, but Splenda is only a little sucralose; sucralose is so sweet that its difficult to accurately measure the amounts we need for coffee and tea so it has to be diluted. The makers of Splenda, for reasons known only to them, chose to dilute the sucralose with *glucose*.

I tried it for a month and fucking hated it. I felt like I never had any energy. I work out and everything frequently. I found it making me be more of a layabout. In terms of feeling good, I found the Paleo diet to work pretty well. Really what I do now is just low-ish carb. Instead of the standard 60-30-10 carb-protein-fat ratio that most people eat, I do closer to 40-40-20. This works out pretty well for me. More accurately, I just track my calories and try to go with my TDEE +/- a couple hundred calories, hit at least 120g of protein, and otherwise eat whatever I want.

I didn't read it either. I'm a type 1 diabetic who has been on a ketogenic diet for years. I test my blood glucose levels about 10 times a day and test my urine for ketones once a day. I have excellent blood sugar control and always read a trace amount of ketones, putting me in low-level dietary ketosis. Before this diet I always had trouble keeping my blood glucose levels normal. I would go into diabetic ketoacidosis once or twice a year. It's not the same thing. It's like a nutball so afraid of hypertension he never eats any salt, then dies from hypotension, rather than realizing there is an ideal biological balance to be found somewhere in the middle. Ketosis is a normal, natural metabolic pathway. Most (non-obese) people are in a healthy and safe state of ketosis for several hours every day. The opposite end of the spectrum is ketoacidosis. This really only happens to type 1 diabetics, alcoholics, and people dying of starvation. Lol, so what kind of eating disorder do you have?

I'm not sure who I'm talking to here, but I actually can track my insulin insensitivity every time I eat carbohydrates. Without breaking dietary ketosis, I'll see a rise in my fasting blood sugar that lasts two days after eating crabs, this is with the same basal dose of insulin, and on top of corrective bolus doses. I dunno, maybe I also have type 2. It's crazy when I look at my basal insulin dosage to body weight ratio (whilst keeping normal blood glucose levels) over the past couple years. I really suspect prior to 100-some years ago people just ate way fewer carbohydrates than they do now. The difference was made up with fats or just less calories. I think in a generation all the dietary guidelines are going to be saying carbohydrates are fine in moderation, instead of fat being ok in moderation. I'll be laughing if I'm still alive.

Possible != likely, in fact its on the risk level of being struck by lightning on a clear day. Possible, but you've got to have a seriously fucked endocrine system.
Here's a tip retard. Ketoacidosis happens when you have no insulin at all in your body so you can't process the glucose your liver is making and your blood sugar is sky high (18+ mmol/l), and because your body is starving your ketones go sky-high (18+ mmol/l), and the combination of these two extreme events raises the acidity of your blood to dangerous levels. LCHF diets raise ketone levels to moderate levels (2.5-3.5 mmol/l) but drop glucose levels to 3.5-4.0 mmol/l , ergo ketoacidosis can't happen and in fact is an extremely long way from happening. Unless you are a type 1 diabetic or a really far gone type 2 diabetic with both nearly total insulin resistance and total beta cell failure, or have another metabolic disorder that prevents you from processing glucose even with insulin, and those diseases are really fucking rare.

Leafy greens are low in carb and fat, they maintain your digestive systems function with the fibres but they don't necessarily keep you in ketosis. Nuts are also high in protein and carbs so they're a small part of your diet. 100 grams of almonds give you 20 grams of carbs and 20 g protein.

It toasts well, and you can augment it with nuts or spices easily, add a bit of stevia for sweeter bread (mixed coarsely with some stevia it comes out surprisingly cornbread-like). You can also add a package of yeast for more bready taste.

you do realise that in order to burn fat /lose weight, you need to be at a calorie deficit? being in ketosis isn't a prerequisite for weight loss. the ONLY WAY TO LOSE FAT is to consume fewer calories than your body needs to do all the things it normally does

also most people who think they are in ketosis probably aren't. ketosis is a pretty extreme state of metabolism and requires testing to confirm that you are maintaining it. most people use it as an excuse to eat more meat, eggs, and cheese

ffs there are people in here conflating ketosis with ketoacidosis. if you are in ketoacidosis you are knocking on death's door, unless you want your blood teetering on a ph so low that hemoglobin has difficulty binding oxygen

yeah, lactose free is actually the bad way to go. the natural occurring sugars in both milk and yogurt are sorta bound to the lactose in it, so anytime you get anything dairy that's "fat free" it's almost certain that they added the sugar back into the food after taking it out.

this is a super late reply to this thread, but just an FYI to anyone who want's to get away from added sugar. just get the whole fat, and use less or deal with a higher degree of fairly healthy fats. plus it fucking tastes better, and usually the whole fat options have less sugar overall despite tasting better. this is the case for yogurt at least.

Its more complicated than that. It's possible to be at a calorie deficit and not burn fat. This has been demonstrated in the lab with rats (they were on a starvation diet with high insulin levels, and when the died from starvation they had more fat than at the start of the experiment), and has been observed in the field with type 2 diabetics. Conversely, during ketosis the body had to burn more calories to to jumpstart the ketone burning process, so your energy use goes up. Also you tend to urinate ketones so you don't even need to burn them. And finally a HFLC diet suppresses hunger, so its very easy to run at a calorie deficit, even to go 0 calorie for extended periods requires little effort, running a few hundred calories is nothing.

I've been eating a keto diet for almost half a year now because I was really curious if it could improve my fatigue and prediabetes (it did, and I'm no longer prediabetic).

But now when I eat something sweet/starchy I noticeably feel worse after eating it. Is this normal? I was thinking I should transition to low carb and add starchy veggies or buckwheat but I'm afraid of feeling worse again.

Some time ago I drank hot cocoa for the first time in a long while and I felt really blah and regretted it few minutes after. Lost any appetite I had until the feeling went away after an hour. I ate a sweet potato with some baby carrots and felt the same thing but more mildly. Yesterday I ate a small slice of cheesecake and same thing happened.

Drink some beef or chicken buillion. Your electrolytes are low, this happens early on because you're pissing so much. If you're really worried about acidosis check your blood sugar, ketoacidosis happens when *both* ketone and glucose levels are sky high, and is exceedingly rare outside of type 1 diabetics since high insulin levels shuts down ketone production.

Yeah I ate cake and ice cream for my birthday last night and feel pretty ugh right now. I think it's basically carb flu, the opposite of keto flu. Body isn't used to running on carbs anymore, the higher blood sugar (current fasting 87 vs my normal fasting 72) causes dehydration and mild headaches, etc. I'm looking forward to getting back in ketosis later today. My ketones are up to 4.5 this morning because my insulin came right back down last night and ketone production resumed, but I haven't been burning them. Should resume later tiday.

If you're just switching to keto this is just normal keto flu, and bumping your electrolytes with bullion and maybe bumping your ketone levels with MCT oil in your coffee are the proven ways to minimise the symptoms. It will go away in a few days, though then precise duration varies among individuals. If it were ketoacidosis you'd be long dead. Ketoacidosis is a runaway condition where your liver is producing glucose that your body cant use because it doesnt have any insulin, and it can't burn the glucose because it doesnt have any insulin but it has lots of ketones, and the high blood sugar doesnt make your insulin rise and shut off ketone production because your body isnt making insulin, and your body thinks its in near death starvation so your liver makes more glucose and your body makes more ketones, and glucose and ketone goes spiralling rapidly into the stratosphere.

This was a really eye opening post for me. I hear all these internet spergs going durr durr people get too much protein. I was having some trouble with my recovery times (lifting, cycling, running, no car, I walk or ride everywhere) that I fixed with protein powders, 2x daily once before my first ride of the day, and again just before going to sleep at night.

I eat quite a lot of seasonal vegetables and legumes, some meat, a lot of yogurt, and some eggs, and rice (I find the rice sits better with me than too much wheat).

I was always like "wtf, how can people think it's easy to get enough protein". I dunno about others but busting past 100g per day without making every single meal a big heap of meat is not easy.

Then I find out, there are people who live sedentary lifestyles, who eat like this.

First of all it's annoying to deal with cross contamination all the time, meat just makes every cleanup more obnoxious, having to have multiple cutting boards, having to take out the trash on a daily basis because it starts to smell noxious from having a wad of meat juice soaked butcher paper festering away.

Second, I only eat fairly high quality meat, which gets expensive unless it's just ground pork ($10/lb or so), and while ground pork is tasty who wants to eat that 3 meals a day?

cultivating grains like soy, corn, and wheat en masse disrupts that cycle, depletes soil, and destroys the environment.

a more reasonable view would be that not carnism is a disease, rather humans. animals living off the land, dying, and resupplementing the land has been going on for many millions of years. the exhaustion of the planet due to overpopulation of billions of humans is the disease.

Bacon. Beef and chicken bullion, marmite which also has a shitton of b vitamins (use sparingly because its salty as fuck). Also low sodium salt. They replace the missing sodium with potassium, which is the other critical electrolyte - low sodium salt is pretty much the only difference between kool-ade and gatorade. I use low sodium salt on my meat and in my vinagrette, and during a fast (intermittent or long term) where those aren't an option i'll put a sprinkle in whatever i'm drinking, usually some kind of sugar free iced tea.

Found the dropout. Here's a few clues to this baffling scientific mystery:
Sodium Chloride is a salt
Potassium Chloride is also a salt
This is the really amazing part - Sodium Nitrite is also a salt, as is Potassium Nitrate, thus demonstrating that chloride isnt necessary for a salt.

If you take a can full of sodium chloride, and pull some of it out and replace it with potassium chloride, you now have a can of salt that is still 100% salt, but that has less sodium in it. Clever, no? And since your body needs both sodium and potassium, such a mixture of salts has the advantage of supplying both at one fell swoop.

Never trust anyone on a 4chan board. Do your research and take the steps keto anons. I lost weight on keto about 70 pounds and back on the normal food stuff.

Maintain it by not eating crap all the time. Plus everybody’s body is diffferent. Some can see a signficant weight rebound, some can see it continuation of weight loss and some can jus stay at that weight they’ve arrived to. I slowly reintroduced carbs and I only gain 2 pounds. After that, it was smooth sailing at a steady normal calorie deficit until I was satisfied. Like I said, do some research and figure out what’s best for you after.

Depends on what you do after you get off the diet.
If you go back to bad eating habits then yeah you'll gain it back. But if you maintain a healthy diet then you won't. It's no so much about what you are eating but rather how MUCH.
