Keto diet/Log

[Grizzly]

Breh, just dip them in eggs and drop them in the grease. I had no idea I could fry chicken without flour. I was never a fan of baked chicken so this is a godsend

i usually dip mine in eggs then almond flour but without flour is even better for me...i gotta try that

 

[Kinguno]

i make wings and chicken fingers like that all the time....just cover them in almond flour and grounded flaxseed and fry them in coconut oil

or if you dont feel like cooking you can go to Buffalo Wild Wings...their traditional wings are keto friendly

No the to ask an stupid question but does Almond flour taste like Almond? It always gives my mouth a weird feeling pause

Also how do you replace rice ?

No you can't taste the almond flavor.

Also, I just gave up on rice. People will say cauliflower rice is good enough but it doesn't work for me. Cauliflower rice is just cauliflower ran through a food processor until it is similar to rice in size.

Brehs I'm going shopping tonight to get my Keto ingredients. I saw some good recipes on ketoconnect.com. It looks legit. I'm doing it mainly for a boost in energy and clarity. The weight loss is secondary. It's cool cuz it seems like you don't have to give up much but just kinda make substitutions with what you cook with

*bookmarks thread for when OP ends his prolonged keto diet and finds out he's now pre-diabetic, handles carbs terribly, sub-clinically hypothyroid, low body temperature, low pulse rate, and has trouble maintaining stable energy*

And this only the tip of the chronically-elevated-coritsol-and-FFA iceberg. I ain't even get into sex hormones.

Keto is not a lifestyle diet.

Keto is not healthy.

I lost 70 pounds on Keto so I would recommend it.. this coming from a guy who struggled with weight all his life

 

[raidersreceiver]

I wish I could do keto but I can't leave the beers behind

Proof?

Sure.

Brief overview:

Lager, I. The insulin-antagonistic effect of the counterregulatory hormones. J Intern Med Suppl. 1991;735:41-7:

."The counterregulatory hormones glucagon, adrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone are released during hypoglycaemia, and under other stress conditions.” “...adrenaline becomes the most important hormone for glucose recovery during hypoglycemia.” "Cortisol and growth hormone contribute to counterregulation during prolonged hypoglycaemia, but adrenaline is also of utmost importance in this condition.” "Adrenaline induces the early posthypoglycaemic insulin resistance, whereas cortisol and growth hormone are important for the insulin resistance that is observed later following hypoglycaemia.” "The pronounced insulin-antagonistic effect of growth hormone indicates that this hormone, in addition to its effect on the dawn phenomenon, could also play a key role in the regulation of other diurnal rhythms of glucose metabolism."

Brotman DJ, Girod JP. The metabolic syndrome: a tug-of-war with no winner. Cleve Clin J Med. 2002 Dec;69(12):990-4:

"The metabolic syndrome may be viewed as a state of insulin-counterregulatory overdrive: counterregulatory hormones and fatty acids chronically duel with insulin, causing a cascade of biochemical interactions resulting in insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Even before beta cells fail and type 2 diabetes ensues, the deadly quartet is quietly rehearsing.” "In general, we believe the metabolic syndrome can be thought of as a state of insulincounterregulatory overdrive, in which insulin chronically duels with counter-regulatory hormones, such as glucocorticoids, glucagon, and catecholamines, along with free fatty acids. These two physiologic processes become “revved up” while working against each other. In a biochemical tug-of-war, insulin is trying to store fuel, while counterregulatory hormones and fatty acids are trying to prevent fuel storage. We believe this ongoing battle causes the complex abnormalities of the metabolic syndrome.” "But even in a well-fed state, adipocytes release some free fatty acids constitutively (basal lipolysis). Basal lipolysis is under hormonal control: it is upregulated by counterregulatory hormones and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,16 and inhibited by insulin. (Stimulation of lipolysis is one important mechanism by which the counterregulatory hormones exacerbate carbohydrate insulin resistance.)"

Speaking of fatty acid excess in the blood :
Researchers discover that breast cancer tumor growth is dependent on lipid availability:

The relevance of this study is that it reveals for the first time that tumour cells must import extracellular lipids to grow.

Pretty sure this goes for most cancers.

Anyway..

I used to be on the low carb / keto / IF / carb-cycling bandwagon dating back to 2011. Very meticulous too. Eventually I couldn't cut on 2000 calories and was rocking a 97.4 body temp. Blood labs confirmed suspicions. Have since thrown this approach deep in the bushes.

Just wanted to show both sides of ketogenic diets. Do what you see fit.

Update. I have started taking MCT oil on a daily basis along with intermittent fasting 16/8 and my weight is down to 249.

keto.. worked for me I'm debating if I should post my transformation pics on the coli

keto will work for everyone due to carbs being the most calorie dense food. There's a keto thread in TLR where people posted pics and what not. Only way im going on a keto diet is if i have diabetes.


ill stick to calorie counting in the mean time.
