Hello,

I recently started doing keto, it suits me well and makes me feel quite good.
How ever its quite difficult to keep it up having a sweet tooth so to speak.

Anybody else doing keto and have some tips regarding training and maybe some tips regarding how to satisfy my sweet tooth?

Thank you in advance

Costco has Krax as well as other Keto snacks. The small cookies (7 per serving) in a bag are excellent as well.

I like Keto. I have lost my spare tire since starting in February. Wasn't a huge loss of wgt (15 pounds) but the loss is from a great location.

A one egg muffin w/ bacon along with one Keto blueberry muffin for breakfast (both homemade) really got me out of a processed cereal habit.

Cheese stick, small handful nuts, hard boiled egg and a Keto bar for lunch. I think I get my sweet tooth satisfied here with a Diet Coke.

Multiple good Keto options for dinner really help. (Wife is a great cook and scrounger for recipes). A few pieces of Krax for dessert.

Keto crackers plus cheese makes a nice 9PM snack.

Tried it for a while. The sweet tooth disappeared completely after a month or so.

Some time ago I'd been on Keto for two weeks. It was hard for me, rather mentally, because I had to stop eating food I like. The results like for just 2 weeks were pretty good, but I didn't want to torture myself, so I stopped.

The Catalina Crunch cereal at Costco is awesome, worth a try if cereal is your normal breakfast choice

no u dont lose ur belly, u lose all around, including belly; especially as a man

i did keto for a while with my gf, wasn't particularly difficult, especially since i'm already gluten free since i got celiac

if everyone is on board it's not too difficult to pull off logistically

we stopped after maybe 2-3 months due to getting keto breath, our mouths just felt disgusting all the time - there's plenty of ways to eat healthy that doesn't make you feel like your mouth is an exhaust pipe for something rotting

did u enter ketosis? seen a large loss in fat loss in comparison of eating same calories but in a more various diet? never heard of keto breath.. maybe mediterranean diet is the best

I yo-yo'd via keto about 10 times in the last 12 years. My suggestion is to find something you can stick to long-term and sustainably. Keto works like every other diet that works - by putting you into a calorie deficit.

When embarking on a weight loss journey, ask yourself "Can I see myself eating this same way a year from now?" If the answer is no, you will inevitably fall off the wagon.

If you're going to make low carb, high fat your lifestyle, good on you. I just like carbs too much and since just focusing on calorie deficit and high protein, I've never had better sustained results and never looked better.

Anyone who is successful eating Keto will be amazed and blown away by taking it a step further and eating pure carnivore which is nothing but meat, fish, chicken and eggs (dairy/cheese is also considered carnivore too). Fat like butter (kerry gold is the best) and bacon grease are also good for you, which is the opposite of what we were told. You don't get fat by eating fats. That was a big myth.

On Carnivore, you will feel better than you ever have before, guaranteed. Your mind will be clear as a bell, you will sleep like a baby every night, your energy will be sky high and you will feel what I can best describe as euphoric. You will also never feel hungry, so you can eat until you're comfortably full. If you have type 2 diabetes it will be cured in months, and you won't need your meds anymore (I've gotten someone off meds after 4 months and heard of thousands of others who did too). This is the best kept secret regarding health, and I say secret because big pharma and others wants to keep it that way so everyone stays on pills which keeps them rich, and us dumb with fogged up minds due to processed foods, sugar, and grain (another myth was the gov't's "food pyramid").

I'll be coming up on one year next month being on pure carnivore which I went on as a last ditched effort to cure severe anxiety, and it literally melted it away within days (not an exaggeration). It's not something I love to admit, but I know there must be other people out there suffering from it which is why I posted it in the anxiety thread (link below), but even if you're otherwise healthy, you will still benefit greatly from a pure carnivore diet. It's the optimal way for humans to east ainec at all.

(anyone looking to cure anxiety can read my post about it here https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/8.../#post57582686

Please take this to the Vegan thread.

TIA.

I started keto and IF about 5 weeks ago, fasting for about 16-18 hours a day, and lost 6kg so far One thing that really surprised me was how I'm never hungry on this diet! I used to eat a lot of desserts but now I feel like I can really take it or leave it.

Tbh what also helped with my sweet-tooth was watching some Dr Berg videos on what sugar does to your arteries, that stuff really should be taught in schools!

I like keto, but Dr. Berg is a chiropractor.

Ye true, I do take everything online with a pinch of salt and balance it with mainstream health advise (e.g. Im not taking 50,000ui of vit D + 5 eggs a day as he suggests).

Looking online there's quite a few sources that state sugar creates holes in your arteries which then calcify and harden/thin your arteries. That's enough for me to put the muffins down

I've also lost about 1.2kg a week for last 6 weeks and gonna get my cholesterol fully checked out in a month or so's time, just to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid

I did a cyclical ketogenic diet for a bodybuilding contest prep. It's a good diet for most people b/c it wrecks your appetite and you never feel hungry. Can have a lot of 'emotionally satisfying' meals like bacon and eggs, 80/20 beef patties with cheddar cheese, butter, steak, etc.

It's pretty bad for high level bodybuilding or lifting due to the inefficiency of using fats as an energy source for anaerobic contractions. It's seldomly used, but ultimately compliance is number one and there is some bioindividuality and *some* people have success with this, even though higher carbohydrate intake seems to work for a higher % of people in those groups. It's good for restoring insulin sensitivity and normalizing blood glucose for people using growth hormone and slamming 500g+ carbs per day on average as a mini-cut rather than as a very long 12+ week fat loss phase.

But for anyone outside the high level strength and bodybuilding world, or even for people who are in that world but very high bodyfat where fat loss isn't going to really worsen performance much, it's a wonderful diet and generally easy to stick with psychologically. If my fat middle aged aunt or my 48 year old sedentary colleague wanted actionable weight loss advice, a keto diet would be the first thing I'd direct them to for sure.


One of the most important things is not to overconsume protein and keep fats high. Heavier individuals with more LBM can include surprisingly high amounts of carbs from fruits (berries) for micronutrition, liver health, and an additional fiber source beyond veggies while staying in ketosis. Normies should probably not even bother with the fruits though. Also salt the **** out of your food b/c it's far easier to get dehydrated on this style of dieting.

A diet to "cure anxiety"? I'm suspicious. I diet to look prettier and be less fat; I think it's weird to diet to reduce anxiety and I reckon there's probably better ways. But I'm pretty dumb tbh.

I've been on keto for about 3 months now. I feel very rested. I lost about 8 kilos in 2 months. I did not measure weight this month, I will write it here again when I do.

There is actually an increasing body of evidence that the whole "fat and stupid" meme is actually true and obesity reduces cognitive function. I doubt we will have meaningful science on mental health since, despite being obviously correlated, it is dubious whether being mentally ill makes people more likely to be fat or whether being fat degrades one's mental health.

Best we can make due with are the increasing amount of longitudinal studies like this: https://academic.oup.com/hmg/article/30/24/2371/6322471

That's awesome, the key is to stay on it, once you go off for a party/event or whatever, it's so much harder to get back into it. It takes 3 days just to get back into keotsis anyway, and that one weekend event can turn into a month or two off of this way of eating, so staying the course at your state it critical. GL !

It's not the amount of fat on someone that causes mental instability (just like as I'm sure you know, eating fat DOES NOT cause someone to get fat which was one of the biggest myths out there, animal fats are actually healthy for us). The problems comes from two things. First and foremost it's diet related, eating the standard american diet full of grains, flower, plants, chemicals and sugar can cause allergic reactions in some people which then causes havic on the body's gut microbiome system and the so-called gut/brain connection which a keto or carnivore diet restores.

You seem to be misunderstanding the study.

We KNOW that being fat lowers your mental acuity. There is currently an increasing body of evidence that being obese CAUSES mental illness. (depression namely)

Hope that helps.

It's only speculation at this point since depression is often associated with obesity but there's no actual evidence and scientific proof that depression is caused by being obese. What do obese people eat? Bread, grain, flower, sugar, processed food, etc. but you're blaming the depression from being fat when they're fat because of eating the wrong diet that the human body was designed for. It's like going to the doctor with high cholesterol and being diagnosed with a deficiency of statins.

I've lost a significant amount of weight eating significantly less meat than I had in the past (near zero) and my GI issues cleared up and "muh mental health" has improved.

Not being fat is more important than dietary dogmas, generally speaking.

Literally read the linked study and attached references. It is literally impossible (although not for a society like the Nazis, but ours) to do a "gold standard" so we just have longitudinal studies that continue to "point toward" potential causality.

I do understand the confusion on what constitutes meaningful research in different scientific research fields, so happy to help discuss actual science if that escapes you. (IE the best nutritional studies have like 20 people)

Congrats. I had a meal with no meat last night. It was delicious. Then I ate some candy which was great also.

I got a mate who's doing the Keto diet and he swears by it. Weight is falling off and has way more energy

I got a mate who was able to finally lose weight. He combined keto with intermittent fasting.

So he combined the two most restrictive diets possible (no carbs and zero calories) and had success.
