im just telling you, its unnecessary....my results dont lie and those are alot prettier than urine.
blondie, i think you are misunderstanding keto diets. there is no way that 15g of carbs (primarily fiber) will take you out of ketosis. lettuce will never hurt you, nor will green, fibrous vegetables...you need that fiber. i think you are possibly over analyzing dieting and adding extra unnecessary stress to the process.
you dont need all of these extraneous foods and recipes for keto, just keep it simple - meat, greens, nuts, egg yolks, olive oil for keto, thats all.
im gonna have to agree with D here blonde... he's right
Excuse me for interrupting this debate lol but what exactly is the main purpose for someone to consider a keto diet? Isnt this something should be used in preparation for doing a show? Just sounds a bit extreme to do for recreation.
I've just read that for veggies, lettuce, etc you should only consume the size of your fist. I would love to sit down and eat a "big salad" with a tiny amount of a low carb dressing, but I am under the impression that the volume of healthy vegs also effects ketosis...otherwise people would be curbing their hunger with loads of vegs and staying lean...
I agree with you blondie, volume does matter and I appreciate your input.
New thought:
I was thinking about new recipes..something yummy with low carbs to simulate a brownie-ish treat...Have you ever whipped your egg whites into a dream puff (I've never done it but I think I might try), and then add some choc protein or low carb choco flavoring?
( Newbie) Isn't the Keto diet pretty much the same thing as "Paleo". I have a friend that is a paleo freak and never shuts up about it.
when i ran keto i would also make a "fudge" sometimes by mixing protein powder, coconut oil and a little pb or almond butter then throw it in the freezer for a bit
Protein Brownie Cheesecake
1. Mix 1 scoop choc. protein w/ enough water to make it like pudding.
2. Put in microwave for 30 sec - 1 mins.
3. Mix in 2-3 Tbls. of whole milk ricotta cheese
You can also not cook it in the micro. and add the cheese and put it in the freezer for 20-30 mins.
Eat it!
This only has about 3-4g of carbs in it so, it works well for me when Im cutting. Hope you enjoy!

That sounds good.
Although, is coconut oil suppose to be hardish, not liquid? cause mine is kind of hard.
