Re: Can't stay in ketosis and eat other veggies | | well i use ketostix each morning and afternoon, i drink water at regular intervals. i know the colour of my pee when i'm dehydrated or when it's diluted. i haven't had a bloat of water in a month. i've stalled on same menu for 3 weeks, even though ketostix showed that i was in high ketosis each day of those 3 weeks. when i dropped calorie count, i started losing weight. so obviouslyt 2000 calories were keeping me steady, so as soon as i lose my last kilo and half, i'll go back to 2000 a day to keep it that way. 2000 calories only kept me losing when i was over 80 kilos and very slowly (a few months), as soon as i hit 79 or so kilos, i started stalling, on reduced calorie count i'm at 76 now after 2 weeks, almost there. i haven't noticed any lost musle as such, i lift the same weights as before,
my diet was usually 4 scrambled eggs with butter and oil + a tomato/cucumber for breakfast, 2x200 gram steaks for lunch cooked either butter and oil with another vegie (coli or 1 tomato salad), and another 400g worth of chicken thighs gain cooked in butter with oil. Varied it with fish a couple times a week or occasional bacon from butcher (subbed the calorie count of meats or eggs) also had some salmon fat supplements depending on how much oil i used for cooking or the way i cooked eggs or chicken (occasional grilled, so i supplemented)
i''m not tired of the diet, i 've gotted to like meats and chicken, when i used to be an all veggie and potato man. iguess i'm just a slow burner |
