can you post some pictures of the actual shit you eat?

seriously, I want to SEE.

i don't believe what people write when it comes to food anymore. seems any shred of honesty goes out the window.

Beef, eggs, cheese, chicken, bacon, fish, pepperoni, sausage, hot dogs. You really need a pic of those?

yes, wtf do you just slap all that shit on a plate?

how can you stomach it, honestly? how do you prepare it? that's not a meal, it's just a random mish mash of shit.

For my most recent < 10 carbs/day diet:

Nicademus · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2014, 10:44:38 PM »

Yeah I eat plain. Bowls of ground beef. Bowls of scrambled eggs, 7 hardboiled eggs at a time, snack on cheese throughout the day. Drink Whey protein throughout the day. If I go to a restaurant I eat steak and hot wings.

Don't know what to say really I just eat it. I drink a shit load of fresca and eat sugar free jello by the pounds to get my sweet fix as well.

Uh you know how you randomly mish mash a chicken breast and a potato? Just don't eat the potato and eat a veggie like spinach or broccoli.

Bacon and eggs...Yes how would anyone stomach that.

Pepperoni and cheese roll-ups.

Steak and veg.

The list goes on and on.

I used to eat low, low fat. High protein and high carbs. Didn't do shit for me. Now I eat bacon and cheese-high fat foods that I used to avoid. In some ways I feel like I'm eating cheat food to be honest.

I buy no calorie walden farms dressings as well and slather the shit out my chicken or beef as well. Good stuff.

see these are the details that make all the difference,

but people usually leave them out

Nicademus · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2014, 10:55:46 PM »

It's a totally individual thing. I've had friends and relatives give the no carb diet a try but the majority of people just can't do it. It's understandable but worth it if you can adjust.

They're not really details.

If you want to lean out on keto, you have to control the calories. If you eat 5000kcal out of non-carb sources, you'll still get fat because the nutrient itself is so dense, like twice as much as glucide sources.

If you want to do it legit., you have to use mostly low-calorie dressings unless your meals taken together don't meet your calorie threshold.]

It's why I don't do that diet anymore. You have to watch what you're eating even within the restricted options available, and you obviously won't have solid workouts until you carb load again.

I don't count calories. I just eat what I want-ate a package of bacon for dinner tonight just for the fuck of it.

Well, that's good man. But it doesn't work for most people. Definitely didn't work for me. I plateau'd on keto after 3 months. Was losing maybe...1/4lb a week? At most. Even with calorie-manipulation and supersets. I find only cardio can help at that point, but you won't have the energy for it.

Yeah, I agree. Everybody is different but Ive eaten no carb for at least a year and a half straight now with maybe 2 cheat days. My muscle gains stay consistent and my body fat remains very low. I never really feel hungy so I just continue to stay with it. If I ever get tired of it I would have no problem changing up.

Beef, eggs and mustard bro.

Pure keto for 3 months will completely shut down a number of vital hormones and completely stall progress.

You need to do huge high G.I. carb refeeds once a week to kickstart hormones like leptin and ghrelin and keep insulin responses in check.

Google: "The Carbnite Solution" by DH Kiefer. The guy is a genius.

you would get incredible fat and sickly, and the outlook would be very bleak for you if you lived on that

Complete conjecture.

I do live on that.

I don't meat, I feel great and leaner.

I buy chicken breasts in 10 pound quantities and marinade it over night. Then I grill it. My grill is a 12 months a year thing, even in drifted snow.

I know it sounds stupid, but there are very few foods that I actually crave.

When I diet, I diet no carbs.. here's about 3-4 days worth of food
