When I was doing no fat diets, I was aggressive and hungry big time. On keto diet, it's so easy, zero aggressiveness (even when I do no fat days), relax, feel good, etc... and I also feel like crap when I have my cheat meal, that's why I don't go overboard, the little reward doesn't make it worth the long bad feeling after. But I've notice that I don't feel so trash if I stick with potatoes/rice VS sugary stuff.

I was wondering since I went keto for this week, from about 75-100g carbs (including traces) to less then 50g per day, should I avoid the cheat meal ?
Eric
If you are going to stay keto then pass on the cheat until next week...it will make things more efficient...otherwise the wants to switch back to glucose as fuel.

Ok will do, thanks Ted.

Quick question: since it will be my 1st week on keto, how much weight loss I should expect coming from water and glycogen depletion ? (Excluding the fat loss)
Eric
Depends on how much carbohyrate you were eating prior to going keto...the more carbs the more water you will lose.
P
I was at around 75-100g per day, including traces.
Eric
Than you wont lose much more than a few pounds.

5th week and 1st on keto, I'm at 203.6lbs so a loss of 3.4lbs, have no idea how much of this is fat since I've depleted water and glycogen, since I can't know I will not change anything for this week. No refeed meal.
I feel more tight.
Eric
Smart move...as I said if you lose more then 2lbs then you dont need to change things...keep it going and see where you are next week. It doesnt really matter how much is water as long as you continue to lose every week.
