Low carb eating doesn't suck!

Watching The Magic Pill on Netflix. All about the keto. Very good so far.

The time has come. I'm finally ready to start getting healthy after multiple false starts over the last 3.5 years. What has become very clear to me is that I can control very little in my life. But the things I have 100% control over are my reactions to others and what I put on my mouth. I've conquered the 1st, but need major realignment in my performance in regards to the second. I just had this 'you must start now' moment yesterday and I'm 100% committed to being successful.

In the past, what's worked for me was high protein, low fat and moderate carb combined with liberal amounts of cardiovascular and very heavy weightlifting. This time Im going to choose the keto program for a variety of reasons. Number one being I've never tried it before and number two, the results seem to come quick.

I'm currently too unhealthy to embark on a rigid exercise plan. So I'm going to go the keto route and give it a try for 30 days.
I once did the first phase of South Beach for 30 days and lost 25 pounds without exercise. I'm guessing keto will have similar, if not better, results as the 1st phase of South Beach.

I've ordered an Instapot, and will be stocking up on all the keto staples after work Monday and will start the program May 1.*

Question.....any tips for eating keto for singles? It's hard shopping and cooking for 1 person without wasting food or getting bored of eating the same thing due to cooking in large portions for recipies.

Also, what happened if you found yourself in a situation where you ate a lot of carbs after doing keto for a month? Did you get sick? Just wondering what would potentially happen if I went a little off keto on a casino trip.

Finally, did anyone get grumpy with family, friends and coworkers? Kinda wanna be prepared for that!

Thanks for this thread!

Yes during keto 1st 2-3 weeks can become irritable easily

Start out with cutting out all sugar drinks as well and be sure to drink at least 100oz of water a day

Thanks, Derek. Luckily the only sugar drinks I occasionally indulge in are orange juice and milk. No soda or other sugary drinks.

I need to up my water as that's another big thing I've neglected and I know it's crucial to insure kidneys don't get fucked up in keto.

I never had any problems but I like broccoli and all veggies the only problem is it's hard to take a good dump.

One more thing..do any of you use an app to track your keto?

I spent the last 3 hours researching and planning and writing up a shopping list.

Then it hit me. Buying the right foods is a fine first step, but what meals will I eat? How will I know I'm on track. I'm such a stickler for doing things the right way, I need to track all this in a way that won't take 100% of my time.

I looked at the app store and found one app that has a shit ton of functionality. You can even scan bar codes to track your food.

I bought the 3 month plan for $15.99.

You don't have to pay for anything for the basic tracking functionality.

I'll let you know how it works.
