lol I don't eat bacon. I will admit I eat a shit ton of boiled eggs. My cholesterol and triglycerides are great though so idk what to tell you pokes

Haha guess why I don't eat pork, LOL

There's eggs of vastly differing qualities. Decent eggs are easy to get. They keep well if they aren't washed n processed in a factory too.

If you really want to get stronger, kill and harvest everything u eat personally.

A few guys at work have been on keto and have lost a lot of weight (one guy has lost 45lbs). Haven't personally done any research on it though.

Keto can be a good avenue for weight loss.

Whether it's a sustainable long term lifestyle in America IDK? I don't think it's something the average plebian American who's co-dependent on Taco Bell (see demolition man) can afford to properly do long term unless they overthrow their government of walmarts and supplement with rat and bug protiens.

I had avocado toast (340) and two 100 calorie cups of coffee for breakfast this morning and I've lost ~46 lb and it's going down still at 1.1 lb per week. And all I'm doing is restricting calories and eating healthy food with the occasional crazy Chinese food binge. But, even then it's healthier things on the menu like Moo Shu which comes in a vegetable variety and has a sorghum or rice based wrap. I feel like no matter what I wind up eating, even if it's out of dumpsters, I can maintain this.

I've hit a weight too now that I'm not constantly depressed and craving food and feeling malnurished as well. I could also easily go several days without eating without having a major metabolic emergency, because my liver is happy to kick in and do what it was evolved to do.

Tonight is sauerkraut and potatoes and leftover kielbasa from the deli. Saturday is delicious home made and gardened colcannon and corned beef. And when I wake up Monday I expect to see yet another lb gone.

Food Freedom is fucking good, and delicious.

Previously I've done 3 keto diets in my life, and attempted to do it while in the military. I failed and only managed to lose 15-25lb each time and became incredibly sick at high activity levels, causing me to quit. So I'm prejudiced ya. I prefer to feel good, AND lose weight.

[Irulan]

My weekly carbs/per day is averaging 120-170g.

That probably scares the fuck out of you, it's 4-5x the daily recommended UL of keto. And I'm still losing weight n being healthy. So... it's not the only way.

I agree people are excessively scared of fat and salt. Though we do consume too much salt(s) and in the incorrect ratios. Though if we cut salt out of our diet and continue to eat shitty we feel sick. We eat a lot of salt to make up for not eating right and to feel good because we are vitamin and mineral deficient, and the salt just exacerbates that over time.

Also, whats up with all the weird ass chemicals in everything that comes out of plastic bags and bottles?

Why can't I just bring a leaded glass or ceramic cup or flaggon (partial /s) to the water fountain? Why aren't my meats just wrapped up in the animals skins and connective tissues or paper that can be composted? I blame plastic for fucking our water-cycle-tables way more than E and ED drugs.

The problem is people get wind that too much of something (salt, fat, more recently fruit) is bad for you and totally cut it. Instead of trying to find a healthy modulation the pendulum swings too far and they lose the benefit of that nutrition.

I'll have a banana every day and a pear most days and don't sweat it.

I'll often have the pear sliced with yogurt as I reckon that fruits acid might be a bit too rad for my teeth.

I'm having two glasses of wine with my Italian stuffed artichokes dipped in butter n soaked in olive oil. Pray for me.

I don't like citrus either. Body chemistry?

Strawberries n cherries are also hard to pallet. Especially strawberry.

I worked for a guy who would refuse to eat strawberries solely based on his admission that strawberries look like the tip of a cock.

My American Keto. I know, I burned my chicken sausage. Not real happy about that. This is only my second meal today. I haven’t been really hungry on this diet. I feel like I need to force myself to eat. I just put in a good 2 hour workout so I could definitely use it.
