I'm in ketosis after 5 days! And I feel Great! All I have done is not eat grains or beans and I haven't had a drop of booze. I really have no negative side effects.
The weekend without beer is going to be tough. |
| That isn't keto. Keto is much more complex than that. |
| The macronutrient ratio required to get into ketosis for MOST people is 70% fat/20% protein/10% carbs. Fasting and drastic calorie reduction will also do it. |
| How can the feeling of hunger feel good? I don't get it. I *want* to understand how intermittent fasting and/or keto works, but that's the part that stops me. |
| What does this have to do with sports and fitness? |
Well I have ketones in my urine soooo... |
Honestly I don't feel hungry except for before meals. I am a person who gets psycho hungry after eating white carbs after like an hour and a half. I felt more hungry on regular Weight Watchers. Sugars and starches are not good for me at all. |
There are many dieting threads in this forum. |
Wrongly, so. They should be in the "beauty" forum since they have nothing to do with fitness (or 'health & medicine') |
Ok then report it. Whatever. |
+1. I'm not even sure that's low carb without looking at your macros. |
Really? An overweight person getting their weight in range seems to me to have a lot to do with health and fitness. |
In healthy ways? Sure. In unhealthy, fad diet ways (ie, no beans)? No - it's unhealthy, unsustainable, and about vanity - so the beauty forum. |
It's not an unhealthy, fad diet. Sorry PP. I know you're having a hard time with this. I'll keep you in my thoughts. |

Sigh. I was hoping that someone would be happy for me. What I'm doing is basically South Beach Phase 1 but it has put me into ketosis. I was curious so i bought some keto stix
And I feel Great! I'm not hungry and I had a great workout this AM. I will move on to SB phase 2 in a couple of weeks. But thanks for crapping on my efforts as usual. |
