That the Keto diet was intended for people with epilepsy.

It's been proven to help people with epilepsy. My daughter has epilepsy and her neuro doctor told us that's one of things on his list that he wants us to try.

Says the guy concerned about the amount of cholesterol in whey.

Right on, I hope it works out for her. My dad has it as well, medication everyday for him.

What kinds of meds is he on?

You know what I've never asked him about it. I think sometimes he doesn't like to talk about it. I wanna say it was Epilim, I could be wrong though.

It's understandable.

I'm sure it's a different situation when you're growing up years ago with epilepsy vs. growing up with it today. Obviously more well known and understood than it was back then.

Every now and then when we're watching tv he'll jump and I would ask if he's okay. His reply "what nothing happened".

My daughter just has the daze out seizures for the most part. You'll look over and she'll be staring at the wall and won't answer you.

Yeah Keto is a recommended diet for epilepsy. It's essentially the Atkins induction phase, but you never phase out after a couple weeks. 20g or less of net carbs per day (carbs minus fiber).

Really. Never heard of that one. My buddy has them all the time, he can't even be outside to look at fireworks on 4th of July and he takes medication too. He'll go into grand mal seizures

My niece has grand mal seizures. Those are ****ing rough.

Damn man that's shitty. My wife is pregnant with my first child, I'm praying he'll be healthy. I've done some research and most articles say it's not hereditary.

Both my daughter's and niece's were brain injuries.

What's this suppose to mean?

On keto....65% of your calories come from fat.

What foods have good fat?

Avocados, eggs, and oily fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout are full of omega 3 fatty acids.

**** that's terrible. Nobody should have to go through that shit. Sorry to hear that man.

First time I went on this program I dropped 81 lbs in 10 months,I did the less than 20 carbs for the first month or so then gradually added some more in and generally would have a free day a week once I got into maintenance.

Wow. Yeah i'm doing this.

Do you feel like shit the first few days?

I was wrong, he takes Tegretol

Dude....do some research. I'm not saying that to be an ass. I'm saying it because you're going to want to check out everything about the diet before you just jump in.


This guys recipes are good.

Alrighty. My daughter is on vimpat but they're about to cut down on the dosage of that and include kepra.

I remember feeling a little weak as my body adjusted but nothing too serious,I would recommend drinking plenty of water.

Oh and there's some great substitutes available once you get into keto and start adding a few carbs back in.Some of my regular meals were taco salads without chips,spaghetti squash with homemade meat sauce,fried chicken(dipped in egg and rolled in pork rinds.)

If you like mashed or baked potatoes,boil some cauliflower mash it down and add butter and sour cream.

Sara Lee also makes a damn good low carb bread and there's some good low carb ice cream available too.

Will do. Is this diet considered dangerous?

Lol now you're being ass. Funny though

Just go on The Big Bang Theory diet where everyone sits around and picks at their food and never eats any of it.

Looking at a sample Keto diet menu this looks pretty easy I already eat most of this stuff. So why is it so hard minus the low carb part? I'm starting this Monday.

It's not once you get used to it. However, your brain is a mother ****er and it will convince you that you are killing yourself for the first couple days, so you gotta get through it. It's called Ketoflu. Look it up.

I'll check it out is there a specific meal plan or something you recommend I start out with?

The first 3-4 days are always good. It's the 5th-7th day that just completely sucks. All carbs sound delicious. I'm on day 6 right now.

I'm doing this and buying that whey protein stuff **** it.

I once drank nothing but protein shakes for an entire month. Didn't eat except for one healthy square meal per week.

Lost almost 20 lbs.

How many protein shakes were you drinking a day?

There's days where I'll have 2-3 protein shakes and maybe a meal and a snack if I've been busy and don't feel like eating much.

I always here people that say protein powder is expensive but they obviously don't get math. Whey is one of the cheapest forms of protein around. A scoop of it costs around $.60 and gives me 22-25 grams. A can of tuna provides roughly the same equivalent and that's hard to find for $.60.

sticking to my running pretty well ... 5 times a week 2.5 miles running intervals

my eating habits remain absolutely terrible but I still have a pretty good metabolism apparently because I can tell the difference just from running and not completely useless all day every day

How many times do you eat a day?

2 and I don't snack, at all

but for instance, I just down 2 slices of deep dish pizza and 4 breadsticks with two cups of nacho cheese LMAO

Hang in there. It gets easier.

I'm down 8 lbs since Tuesday.


Breakfast: eggs, cheese, spinach, jalapeños and sriracha. Mix it all together, add bacon or sausage too. 28 oz green tea

Snack: 28 oz of green tea and a pear

Lunch: cottage cheese, fruit and more green tea

Snack: apple w/peanut butter

Dinner: big steak or chicken, veggies, cottage cheese, MOAR green tea



DO NOT EAT AFTER 5:00 PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Don't forget to power walk an hour a day. If you go to the gym set your speed at exactly at 3.7 and don't stop for an hour.

Finally got over most my cold. I've been able to hit the gym three of the last four days. My eating habits are probably as bad or worse than Hooties.

My first day was 2 miles at 25:00. Today was 21:30. So it's getting better. I'm only running and probably will only run until the 1st.

Pork rinds FTW.

Haven't gone out to eat this year but still too heavy on the junk food. Sleep seemed stable but has gone to shit the last couple of days again.

On the plus side I've gotten 14 days of exercise this year. 8 bike rides and 6 walks of at least 4 miles. Might clear 150 miles on the bike in january, which is unheard of for me. Starting push ups monday.

Hell yeah, I even buy the plain ones and dip then in onion dip. Awesome low carb shit

Started Keto today.

4 pieces of bacon and 4 eggs for Break fast.

12 days in, down 20 to 213.8

We heard you the first 10 times

Anybody else doing keto and having the shits? I literally shit 5 to 6 times a day when I'm doing keto.

Already did but thanks for asking

Power walking? What are you, a woman?

Lift weights, get jacked, **** pussy.

12 lbs down in one week brah


I'll lift once I get to my goal weight

Stupid. You could speed up the process by picking up some ****ing weights. But you're not gonna do it. Because you're a fat pussy.

Why are you being mean?

You change your body makeup a hell of a lot faster lifting weights and it burns more calories per hour when done with intensity than just about anything else you can do.

It should be the FIRST thing you do when losing weight.

How the hell do you tell how many calories you've burned lifting? Myfitnesspal doesnt figure it out for you.

On another note I just benched pressed for the first time in a few years. ROFL in high school I maxed at 320 today I could barely lift 120.

Because you're a bad person who masturbates too much.

Wish I'd got in on this. However, I started going to the gym three days a week in November. I weighed 203. This weekend, I can see less gut and my face is thinner, but I weigh 207. I'm hoping it's turning fat into muscle.

Big setback today. Sprained my ankle. It is very weak, especially when it's cold out. I had broken this same ankle 2 years ago, that's why it's weak.

Gotta stay off my feet for the most part.

I've been going 3-4 times a week for about a year. I lost 0 weight on the scale for almost that entire time but look tremendously better than I did when I started.

Don't get hung up on the number on the scale.

That sucks man.

Because it works on fat pussies.

Down four pounds in a week.

METH ROOOLZ!

You really can't and even estimating from cardio is pretty off if you are using any of that fitbit shit. They generally over-estimate the shit out of what you are really burning.

Just go in and lift with intensity, heavyish as well, and you'll burn more than doing anything else outside of doing tons of sprints. But I'm gonna bet most over-weight people aren't up to doing sprints.

Don't bother trying to count calories you burn from exercise.

Just count the calories you eat, stay below your BMR and exercise in addition to that. The weight will fly off.

Yup, I agree with this. I've never tracked calories I burn. I just estimate roughly what my BMR is and eat below that calorie wise. If I eat below that level by a few hundred calories and add in exercises to create a bigger deficit, I'll lose weight.

SIMPLE.

I got my two mile in 20:12 today. So close to breaking the 20 minute mark. I haven't done that since last April. I'm down 4 lbs to 230.

Greek Yogurt is ****ing delicious. Tried it because you guys have been talking about it.

I'm only down like 4 pounds since starting, but I'm noticing major changes in the mirror in gut and waistline as well as just generally looking leaner and more ripped.

Question for you guys: I just did arms yesterday today I was thinking about doing chest or should I wait a day?

You should wait a week.

No.

Fine, 10 days.

No reason not to train a different body part on a different day.

Personally I prefer full body workouts 3x a week.

Seriously though, how do you just do an arms workout?

I think most body part splits are pretty lacking, and the amount of anything worthwhile you're doing in the gym on an arm day is negligible. Fit in some arm work on a different day at the end of a workout. It shouldn't have it's own consistent day, no matter what those fitness magazines say.

Glad you're getting into the gym though. Greek yogurt is ****ing awesome!
