Just a little update. on day 11 now, lost 5lbs in the first 4 days, and bf% has dropped considerably (didn't get it tested before starting the diet, assuming it was around 11 and there is a visible difference). side note: have been drinking over a gallon of water per day, replaced peanut butter with natural almond butter (which is usually consumed with bananas or apples), and the only flavoring i've used thus far has been organic apple cider vinegar, salt free garlic pepper, and onions/green peppers/jalenpeno peppers (sometimes banana peppers--not often(high sodium)). Not on any supplements or AAS.
Lookin to run this another 2 weeks minimum. Will keep you posted

Anybody got an estimate for the macro's on the first week ? Im not lazy to do it .. just dont know how much pro/carb/fat each of these foods have roughly.
Would like to know this also.
EDIT: *I* added the macro's here. There were a few requests and I was interested myself. They are based on fitday.
Some assumptions were made here, ie: grilled meats? I dunno if they were fried, grilled or baked. Not sure what type of peanut butter? I assumed natural, also wasnt sure on the beef, i used lean filet mignon but that could vary slightly and not sure on the scoops of protein. I assumed 25g of protein per scoop with no fat or carbs and mixed with water.
My question is how the hell did you go into keto eating 140grams of carbs a day in week 1? If i have some time ill add some of the other data. I may do a keto diet for a few weeks in the upcoming weeks and may base it on this or at least closely resemble this.

217lbs, 5'11", 15%bf. I wouldn't drop any of the food. get it going first and see how you respond
I skipped week 1 and went right to week 2 since i was already doing low carb for a week prior to me starting this.
Im five days into Week 2 and have dropped 4 lbs. I kind of expected a slightly larger drop since i put 12 lbs on in about 2 weeks eating like shit. I thought i would rebound quickly but apparently not, the damage was done lol. I think I just went into keto since my pee smells like shit. The remaining 2.5 weeks is going to be interesting. I hate no carbs it sux and I cannot wait for my cheat meal but i want to get a full week of no carbs in before i do that so probably will wait until tuesday.
I would estimate my BF went from 10% to 12 or 13% over those 2 weeks of uncontrolled eating.Would like to see it <10% by August.

Maybe you should be a little more full of yourself!? It seems that is where you're lacking.

thats hilarious. yeah..i think i was probably a little irritated in that post. its frustrating when you bust your ass doing something and then someone who hasn't done it comes along and says how easy it is.
but as 3j stated, please only post relevant comments.

finally got my head around to try this diet
after checking this thread 5-6 months ago. i'm starting it tomorrow, jumping straight into week two. It took me 5 days (and several visits to the food store) to come up with a 7 day meal plan (based on your plan, dialtone) but with a little more variation and additions from my regular diet so i won't get bored with eating the same thing over and over again. still got the carbs below 50g/daily, and more than enough protein 1.1-1.3g/lb, and will keep a journal. i'm not a bodybuilder (though i workout with weights 3/week), just a soccer player and would like to drop my BF from 15% to 10%. will keep you updated. cheers!!!

Red,
diet works real well and i did exactly the same thing, i jumped into week 2, two things to keep in mind.
1. the pro/veg part really is tough, im pretty hard core when it comes to sticking to a regiment when i want to, i stuck to it but it sucks ass.
2. make sure when you are ready to re-introduce carbs into your diet you do it gradual. 3J warned me i would bloat and sure as shit i bloated badly. I introduced them 50 a week, then 80 then 100 and it damn near took all three weeks before the bloating subsided.
I lost a total of i think 15 lbs in 3 weeks.

Thanks for the feedback welter and the tips,
I am concerned about introducing carbs back, maybe more than the diet itself, cause I’ve read a lot of bad stuff about the rebound effect, so thanks about the tip. But this bloating you felt was only a feeling, right. There was no weight gained back?

Yes it was just a feeling, i gained maybe 2 lbs back but wasnt bad. The stomach felt like i drank a keg though

some questions
i think i went into ketosis, as on saturday evening (second day) i felt some random head aches and then a terrible weakness in till i slept. then all day sunday i had this metallic taste in my mouth. but no smelly pee and no stinky breath. and then on monday i find that i lost 2.5lbs and 2.5cm from my waisteline in three days. my questions are:
1-the metallic taste is gone today (monday), does that mean i'm not in a ketosis state anymore, or that my mouth maybe got used to the taste?
2-i've felt light headed since sunday evening, if i'm sitting or bending and raise my head or stand i see blackness and that i'm about to faint? is that normal?
the only problem that is really bugging me is having to wake soooo many times at night to pee, with that much water i'm drinking all day long. i'm just sleepy and drousy at work.

I'm glad so many people have adopted this diet and actually saw it through to the end. I hear you guys on jumping in to week 2, but I did that for a reason. Personally, I was coming out of a pretty sloppy diet so I used that week get myself used to being back on a tight regimen. Honestly, I lose the most during that first week. I am getting ready to run this again and I have given it to 10+ people since I first wrote it. It's a solid diet, but as welter mentioned, the final stage doesn't fuck around. After completing week 4, I suggest just to maintain a variation of week 1 with more carbs.
you shouldnt be losing any muscle in such short time. also, this is a pretty high protein diet. just keep lifting at a moderate intensity and keep cardio at a moderate intensity as well. you be fine, you be fine.
