Hmm yeah some of this is confusing for me. Like it says deli meats are okay but they're very high in salt and by no means healthy. Also diet soda, which is incredibly unhealthy. I'm not too comfortable with those things. I'm not sure how I'll manage the first 4 days because there is no way I can keep myself eating heavy meats for all of my meals for 4 days. You mentioned something about low carbs, I don't really see mention of the carbs here. Are there a lot of carbs in meats (sorry if stupid question, I'm not the most educated on this)
Yeah, carrots are - shockingly - high in sugar. Seems strange for a vegetable. More importantly, their fiber count is lower than their sugar count, which is the opposite of what you'd want in this situation. You should seek out Rowan if you have specific questions that I don't have the answers to though; I'm still learning a lot about this myself.
Do you know why the no carrots?
Oh thank you! I'll check it out~
I'm gonna email you a pdf file that will make understanding the process much simpler, because it gives tons of examples of what's okay and what's not. Keep in mind, I don't do any of the "exercise" portion of the diet, because one of the exercises is walking, and I do that for 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days per week.
Hmm this is all very complicated to me. I tried looking it up online but all I seemed to find were people talking about it and not like a daily guide I could follow or something. If I can sort it out I might try this when I get back from weekend vacay on Monday. The thing that seems to work most for me is walking. Eat whatever the heck I want and walk. I tried a stricter, more exercisey diet and I was gaining weight like crazy and got super depressed and stopped trying. I would walk more but I live in the south and I have a heat allergy
Oh goodness. Okay, so there are two ways to do this. The first is very strict - four days of MEAT ONLY, followed by ten more of meat plus cheese plus high-fiber vegetables. After two weeks, you can add in two servings of fruit per week (I have a chart for what constitutes a serving based on carb [sugar] count), and expand your vegetable library. There are some really great additions to the chart, and a big list of absolute no-no items. The less-strict route is to skip the four days of meat only and jump right into phase two. The initial loss apparently isn't as drastic, and it takes a little longer to kickstart, but here I am at the end of day four on the "long" way and my damn pants actually slipped off my hips today at work and I had to tighten my belt. I have documentation that I shared with Sarah that I can send your way as well. It's a little intense for some people, but there are 20g carb goals and 50g carb goals based on your personal preference, needs, and timeline. Either version contains a list of "absolutely no" items, and that's where the dealbreaker is for a lot of people. Ketosis itself isn't actually a diet, but a bodily function. By removing excess carbohydrate intake from the body (and you never ever ever want [nor is it realistic] to go to an absolute zero carb diet, because you can get super sick and die), after a couple of days, the body runs out of carbs to fuel itself, and shifts to targeting the energy reserves stored in fat cells. Think of it like a bear's hibernation cycle, except you're awake for the whole thing. You will feel hungry more often than you're used to, but that's because your body is cutting into your reserves. You can absolutely have three or four or five different food intake instances per day, assuming you portion them appropriately. I eat just enough to feel satisfied (not full), and then I'll be a little hungry a couple hours later but will try to put 5-6 hours between meals. I've had 11g carbohydrates total in the last four days, which is way lower than necessary for keto to be effective, but a byproduct of my food choices. I haven't been starving myself under any circumstances. I feel more alert and energized than I have since before the holidays last year.
So what's this ketosis diet? Mind giving me some details, I might give it a try
It's excellent !!
I'm going to sleeeeep~ Editorial's up. ^^
Sounds like a good idea ^.^ If you need help, you can always PM it to me see if I have any suggestions
I got over that nasty roadblock in my article! Now I can piece the whole thing together tonight and it'll be good to go for tomorrow morning. In the meantime, though... I gotta go get ready for work. I think I'm going to email myself the outline and kinda touch on it some more during slow periods on my shift. ^^
Hey there
