Dear Dave (me). Thank you so much for starting keto again, its been a while. I see that you're in your 2nd week now and doing great so far. Remember don't go too hard on yourself if you have a little slip, but keep an eye on the long term goal. This is a marathon not a sprint my friend.
Q1. Dave, can you tell me a little bit about your keto experience?
A1. Sure, thanks for asking Dave. As you mentioned I've done keto before and know some of the trips and traps. Last time, about2 years ago, I went from 90kg to 80kg in about 8 weeks.I am hydrating a lot more this time taking in about 3L of H2O daily and suplementing salt loss with hydralite/ sports minerals. This has reduced my fatigue and I've had no keto flu whatsoever.
Q2. Has fatsecret helped you with setting your goals and keeping track of your progress?
A2. Absolutely. Keto is designed to force the body into ketosis, whereby the body is starved of carbohydrates (sugars, fiber and starches etc). So it's really important to keep track of your daily macro (carbs, fat, protein) intake. It needs to be easy and having the community forums is great too.
Q3. Are there particular staple foods that gets you through each day?
A3. My go to foods are 1) Breakfast - Eggs fried in butter, 2) Lunch - a variety of yummy cheeses, 3) Dinner - find the lowest carb plant based sausages/ mince like V2 plus basic salad (baby spinach/rocket with olive oil, olives, parmesan cheese), 4) Snacks - Peanut butter, lowest carb nuts (shredded coconut, almond, brazil, hazelnut, macadamias).
Q4. Would you encourage people to try keto?
A4. Definately, however I know people in my circle that have tried it and it wasn't for them. It can initially put stress on the body and if you're suffering from medical conditions or even very unhealthy I would not recommend it for someone. If you are generally in good health but want to lose, say, less than 20kg I'd say go for it.
Thanks Dave lets check in again later.
Ok, now piss off cause I need to get some sleep.
