Yeah I think I read something about too much stims being catabolic while being in ketosis??? I might be talking out of my ass but I seem to remember that.Originally Posted by Thorgrim
Anyways, I started this diet today. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
a couple cups of coffee/day is fine. The problem with caffiene is the cortisol spike which starts eating up muscle. If you are constantly in a state of raised cortisol levels then you are doing things in a counter productive manner of wanting to maximize fat loss and minimize muscle burning.
does anyone use ketostix to check ketosis?
They're not very reliable man. I wouldn't bother. Just stick to the diet and within 48 hours you're there.
Good luck man, I think you will be happy with the results if you stick to it! Start a log for us if you want we will all help keep you motivated

The diet's actually really easy to stick to so far. I've never had a problem sticking to diets...the main thing for me is always just keeping things easy and fast to make. This diet meets that...I just did a mass cooking of chicken, steak and salmon and it's all packaged in the freezer. Then takes about 2 minutes to get my meals together for the next day. Perfect.
This is my first time being in ketosis and aside from a headache the first two days, today I felt great and had a lot of energy during my workout...even with a crying baby really disrupting my sleep (not complaining, well worth it).
I've kinda got a log going at BodySpace - same user name. I don't think I can lose too much more fat but wanted to give it a shot before I start a 4 month bulk in September. I think if I can pack on some weight then this diet will really be effective.
I'm currently around 180 and following the 200 lbs. diet so I'm curious to see if I lose, maintain or gain b/c I have a fast metabolism.
Planning garlic bread and pasta and some fruit for my Saturday night carb up. Good times...
man, i binged hard on my cheat day on Saturday. Chicken Drumsticks, ground beef, white rice, bread....i think i might have eaten 1000cal in that one meal...felt soooo guilty after..lol
next time i will try and keep it clean.
Weight loss is going well. Down 9 lbs since last Monday.
Current weight 192lbs. Goal weight 175lbs.
drop the drumsticks and ground beef - too much fat in them.
You want 90% of your cheat meal to be mainly carbs with 10% being protein and as little fat as possible.
Having learned the hard way (stomach issues) after 6 weeks of dieting so far, I now stick to pancakes with 200ml of syrup and usually some low fat ice cream or low fat brownies loaded with low fat icing after and call it a day. And even after this meal I still feel sick to my stomach and bloated all to hell.
thanks for the info Nate. I was invited for dinner at a family's house so i couldn't help. But my next cheat meal will be high carbs/low fat.
any good tips on cheat meals?
-whole wheat pasta and meat balls
-oats
-whole wheat pita with flax seeds
-chick peas
