Good Stuff
Seems like a great book so far. I wish there were pictures throughout.
Attached a photo of the chicken bacon ranch casserole I made. It was tasty!
I'm down almost 40 pounds doing the low carb thing for about 2 months- starting to incorporate more fat, less protein.
Here are some tips on making your KETO diet Successful and which worked for me ( a 29 year old Male who started at 210 pounds with a sedentary office job and made it down to 164 pounds and less than 10% bodyfat)
1) Diet coke is absolutely your friend (all the haters will say it mess with blood sugar but I drank 5 a day and dropped weight like crazy.
2) buy Hoodia pills from bulk supplements, I took 2 every morning when I woke up and it helped for sure!
3) buy a gallon water jug and drink a whole gallon of water everyday, it helps when you feel starving, but it is difficult. flavor it up with some sour candy BCAA's
4) if youre at a restaurant, chances are good you can order steak and eggs or some kind of Joe's scramble with tomato slices, or order fajitas without the tortillas, you'll figure it out.
5) you will be grumpy as hell after about 3 weeks ( it passes, but it is normal)
6) buy Quest Protein chips. You're welcome.
7) get a vegetable spiralizer to make zucchini noodles ( I used mine to make the shrimp alfredo dish in this book about once a week) that Alfredo sauce is sooooo good.
8)air fryer! just throw some spices on the whole chicken breasts there is a really good spicy one I use called Kick'n Chicken and put them in the air fryer on the Chicken mode for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 15 mins. super easy and delicious.
9)I will tell you that your progress will slow after about month 2-3 and it can be a bit daunting, I started doing p90x in my living room to build up some strength when I got down to about 170, just doing as much as I could, then I got down to 164 and was super skinny, could wear a small shirt and before I was wearing an xl. fast forward 7 months down the road I am a regular at the gym and weigh 180 and comfortably wear a medium and have about 92 pounds of skeletal muscle mass. also, I reintroduced carbs (not noodles, but I am eating a portioned out amount of rice with my 8 oz of meat and 3 ounces of vegetable).
hope this helps someone progress, seriously buy those quest chips if you need a crunchy snack.
