Keto Diet

[Sniper-T]

I mentioned in another thread that I started this, and another member chimed in that they had been on it for a couple years already.

I thought I would create a thread for it to centralize discussions/questions, etc.

I'm just starting week 3 and feeling better and better daily; but still have a long ways to go.

I don't think I will ever get off the keto diet. I do have my cheat days, but I feel so much better when on this way of eating.

My wife and I have been doing keto a few months. I am down almost 30lbs she is down a full ten which annoys the crap out of her.

Helo, what about spaghetti? what about taco chips?

What do you use as a low carb salsa and meat sauce delivery system?

Sniper, Have you tried spaghetti squash for the noodles? Son1 and DIL1 are on the KETO diet and they use it all the time. As for chips, My niece used shredded cheese in a little flat pile and dried it in a low oven. It seemed to work but you have to watch so the cheese doesn't brown. She doesn't have a dehydrator. I have a KETO bread recipe if you're or anyone else is interested. One serving of 2 slices is 2 net carbs.DH is on a low carb diet for his diabetes made it for him, he seems to like it.

Always up for swapping recipes! Yes, we use spag squash quite often, but it is quite high in carbs too. I don't mind Shirataki noodles, but the wife isn't.

Always looking for options!

Spaghetti squash is really good, and most pizza sauce has only a few carbs. Not sure on salsa, but salsa should be low carb. I don't eat chips.

Look up muffin in a minute, they are really good.

Several years ago I went on the Atkins diet which is a low carb diet. In 5 months I dropped 38 pounds.

I have to admit that over the last 8 years I have managed to find about 16 of those lost pounds. However, at times I still try to keep in mind the need for lower carbs.

We had the toughest time with giving up chips. We've found an alternative... it's not easy to find at our local Wally World, but other people I know see it a lot. We order on amazon since it's hard to get in a short drive. Joseph's Lavash Bread! This stuff looks like a giant rectangle tortilla. We use a pizza cutter to make strips, spray with a little melted butter from our pump sprayer, throw a little Himalayan salt on it, and sometimes a little chili powder, and bake 5-7 minutes at 325*(watch them bake, it's easy to burn them) we usually get a whole tray of chips from 2 sheets. Here's the kicker.... 4 CARBS PER SHEET! Served with guacamole and homemade salsa or queso it's not quite a restaurant quality chip, but they're really good.

I use a spiral-cutter and squash (zuchinni, usually), which I very lightly toss in a frying pan to soften, then toss the sauce in.

Damn Sniper, I wore 34's when I was at my best. And only weighted 165.

Great job

[Sniper-T]

still pushing towards 180. high school was 32's, University was 30's. College was 28's. I am aiming for 30's again, as that is where I felt the best.

Really happy with the progress. feel great!

Special thanks out to Helo. he's helped more than he knows!

Freaking awesome man. Glad we where able to help. I am not the weird one, you live where it snows all year.

[Sniper-T]

Snow is awesome buddy. You gotta come up and visit one winter, you'll see the world in a whole new way!

No way am I going in the winter. I had to put my jacket on the other night and it was only 62 F.

[Sniper-T]

rofl! 62F... That's why I bought the shorts. And only because I can't wear anything less to work. ;)

The wind was blowing, I was cold.

We start wearing shorts when temps hit 50 degrees here in Ohio. :cool:

Nope, jeans till about 70 for me.

[bacpacker]

I've been in shorts for a month here. But it does depend on what I'm doing and where I'm going. I've took hiking trips in the snow with shorts before to try and avoid overheating and getting soaked with sweat. Different story, but overall conditions do have a lot to do with it.

[helomech]

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. Anything below 70, my ass in warm clothes.

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. Anything below 70, my candy-ass in warm clothes.

LMAO, looking forward to seeing you down here when it is 110.

[Sniper-T]

Dude... I wear shorts at 0F... what do you think I wear at 110F?

What is seen, cannot be unseen!
;)

[helomech]

LMAO, I have seen worse I am sure.

[Sniper-T]

Hey folks, how are y'all making out with this?

Since I quit hardcore keto, and just went to trying to eat smart, I did flux some, up and down, but in a much better range.

I found that 180 was too small for my liking (I looked like Helomech :omg:) jk, my friend.

I bumped back up to 240, which again, felt like I was on the wrong slide, so without counting carbs, just pushed back into eating less carbs/smarter, and am back at ~210 where I'm comfortable. AND it isn't a daily chore to hold. 4 years now, and holding healthy
