Tell your wife congratulations on being disciplined enough to lose the weight.
She did great and I'm sure you're proud of her.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lose beer guy (already quit drinking 2 months ago), hopefully help psoriasis and have more energy, sleep better. I am a pretty active guy, climb and workout in the winter and canoe, hike, mountain bike in the summer (600+ miles last year on dirt). Realizing that none of that matters if I am not puttin the correct fuel in my body. I would hike all day and collapse dead tired in my tent. Yes, I could do it, but I was unhealthy. I just didn't know it. I never went full keto, although thete were plenty of days I'm sure I was below 20g carbs for a day or two. But.....in 15 years, after that first 5 months, I have only had one cold that lasted 2 days. My wife who just eats what I eat, has had two. We both score perfect 100's every year on our wellness checks. I think nothing of a 12-15 mile hike with a pack or 20 mile bike ride and I'm 52. The thing is....unlike before, I'm not totally wiped out after. That's part of a full day's activity for me including all the other stuff I do during a normal day. Sometimes you don't have to get all crazy about it. Just cut out the bad shit, get and stay moving, eat healthy and be aware of what you're putting in your body. Avoid the artificial shit and sugars especially and finally realize that there is no magic pill. You can either write checks to the grocery store for the healthier option (about 35% is what we figured it cost in our shopping over the last 15 years )or the pharmacy for your monthly medications. Your choice. |

Calories are the fuel, it really doesn't matter which types of fuels your putting into your body, i.e. carbs vs fats vs proteins; granted each has a different function as a calorie in your diet. And not all calories are equal, some are more valuable from an metabolism and energy standpoint. Carbs are great for quickly replenishing the necessary nutrients that muscles need for performance. A low carb diet, Keto for example, has shown to have a lot of health benefits and positive metabolic outcomes, over the long term. You can drink and not have a beer gut, the main reason beer contributes to weigh gain, is the non-nutritional calories (empty-calories) that people tend to overconsume in addition to their regular dietary habits. Calories in > Calories Out == Weight gain. In a low carb diet, Keto in this instance, Protein is a goal, to limit muscle loss, Fat is optional to keep energy levels up and reduce hunger, and Carbohydrates are a limit. You need to self assess and discern if you can make the change to a Keto Style diet, as initially it will be a complete change in dietary habits, which only can be successful if you are acutely aware of what you are consuming, and how much. There is a significant mindset shift that generally needs to happen. Other posters have listed a lot of resources regarding Keto, check them out. A good starting point would be the GD thread I know is floating around here (I havent posted there in probably a year, need find it myself). Reddit also has a great subreddit /r/keto that is full of a lot of good resources. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I would like to know what kind of diet people have BEFORE they go on KETO. I know a guy who went from eating nothing but doughnuts, cookies, candy, and junk food all the time......to eating healthy "normal" portions sized meals and dropped 50lbs less that 6 months. Not saying KETO doesn't work......but eating healthy in general is going to be 10 times better than eating junk all the time. |

The very same 1977 pseudo science that told us natural fats were bad for us so the food industry replaced them with carbs and hydrogenated oils... Let's compare the obesity rate from 1977 to today after 40 years of "low fat" diets riddled with carbs... looks like taking the advice of the 1977 science is what fattened this country up.

I asked the health coach we have at the office about the keto diet, and she said, "Oh God, don't do it!" and sent me some PDFs on how it's not good for you. at this point, I think you can find info for an against absolutely everything.  Bought and paid for by Big Agri and Big Pharma.
