I don't know tbh, had a bit of a headache last night but could be anything. Not finding it as hard as I thought in terms of missing carbs it's just a faff. Didn't weigh myself at the start either ffs. I'm going to break it next weekend anyway as I'm going Primal Scream
Going to give that a bash tomorrow morning I thinkYeah it's a pain in the arse preparing food.
I found bulletproof coffees helped loads in the morning as well.
Good luck. I tried and failed. It was the lethargy that affected me. If I'd stuck it out I would have got past that stage and you're supposed to feel great.Trying Keto at the worst time of year to make a net loss compared with 1st Jan

Might give it another bash after Christmas. Trouble is, if you break the ketosis, you have to start all over again to get back into it.

How long did you do it for Nick? Did you lose much body fat?Yeah once you get past it you have loads of energy.
I found MCT oil in the coffee helped as well.
I feel fine at the minute but I think that's more from knocking beer on the head than anything else. I've got a young child so not sure I know what lethargy isn'tGood luck. I tried and failed.

Giving up the beer is what I'd struggle with. I'm not a big spirits fan.I feel fine at the minute but I think that's more from knocking beer on the head than anything else. I've got a young child so not sure I know what lethargy isn't
That's good going mate.I did it for about 5-6 months and lost 2 stone.
I just struggled with strength training while doing it
Yeah you need to really be strict on it
Nah I had strips to piss onnot as accurate though
Only first thing, have to have a sit down one to be sureDo you have a problem with your aim?
I’m running the London Marathon in April for charity, and for some unknown reason since I found out a had a place in October my activity levels (football, gym, running) decreased and socialising increased (lots of food and beer!).
However, now Christmas and NY are done, I’m starting my training properly. My main worry is the boredom as it’s a long time to be running, so for now I’m focusing my training on longevity as opposed to miles, to try and get my body and mind used to it. I ran for an hour on Sunday and managed just over 6 miles which I was really pleased with.
I also played football on Monday night, however I failed to wake up for the gym this morning which is a little disappointing. However I’m aiming for another long (ish) run tomorrow!
While the main aim is to raise money for a charity linked to my Mum, I’m hoping a bi-product will by increased fitness levels and the disappearance of the horrible beer tyre I’ve gained the last few months!!
Tbh I have found it has reduced my appetite ready for intermittent fasting again so that's probably my fallback positionThe Keto diet is more hassle than it's worth unless you stay on it permanently because once you eat or drink those delicious carbs you'll instantly put on about 1/2 a stone in water weight and your body will be kicked out of ketosis.
I tried it for a few months but it just wasn't sustainable and I was miserable deep down. I tried to make out as if I was enjoying eating a breadless sandwich but I was dying inside.
Maybe that's just me though. I seem to function well on lots of carbs but I know some folks don't. I couldn't work out in ketosis. I almost fainted trying to squeeze out a fart so anything strenuous was off the table.
Try adding some strength training too mate.Been to the gym 3 days in a row I’m doing half an hour on the cross trainer increased the levels from 2 to 5 . Exercise bike for 20 minutes
Swim for 20 minutes then run in the spot in the pool for 10 minutes
Getting there slowly but surely
Are you sticking to spirits when you have a drink?Still maintaining the keto, not had keto flu as yet and feeling pretty decent. I drink a lot of water anyway and try to avoid too many carbs before I started.
Can't wait to get pissed on Sunday though
Not a chance of that mate, this is a little experiment really so not going to wind myself up about it.Are you sticking to spirits when you have a drink?

Good way of looking at it mate. I found that I had to stop beating myself up if I had a bit lapse. I just enjoy working out now, and I also enjoy eating a bit of shit now and again.Not a chance of that mate, this is a little experiment really so not going to wind myself up about it.
Just to add to the chorus of “shit years”. Been down the last few months and eating is my comfort, smashing the Maccys by work a ridiculous amount and eating pure shit for ages. Weight has piled back on, so much that I was about to outgrow my work trousers that were hanging off me. Luckily work changed their dress code and now I can wear jeans
Trying to get back on it again but Christmas coming I’ll fall off again in a month.
But yeah, shit year. Need to do better next one. 18 months until I’m 40 and I want to be at target weight by then.

That's when I discovered rum and coke with no calories in.
Still doing Keto, have been eating this way now for about 18 months and it’s fine.
Both me & the Mrs do it strictly but it’s now a very simple way of eating once you get your head around it.
We have both dropped weight and would recommend it to anyone who will listen long enough lol
The only carbs I'm struggling to drop are milk in tea / coffee, but i don't think that's the end of the world.
I love my ales so if i'm drinking i'm having beer, rum and coke is OK but i like variety
