I tried what I thought was Keto, but I was doing it wrong. I was actually eating all protein but no or just accidentally eating fats. I did cut all carbs, which means I actually ate a few. Start weight 276lbs. After first week weight 265lbs. Loss of 11lbs. Most if not all was water. I also inadvertently started the 16:8 intermittent fast. I wasn't having any appetite after the first or second day of all protein so I just ate less and in a time window of 12pm to 6pm. This has now morphed into a 4 hour window usually nothing after 4pm. I'm considering doing the OMAD, or one meal a day routine. Might as well, not hungry enough to eat twice in 4 hours.
I bought wbls if bacon and fried it a d saved the grease. I will add the grease to the chicken breast I eat and other foods when appropriate. I also eat 2 or 3 spoons of peanut butter per day for the fat , 12-15 grams total.
I'm guessing the first week was a success because of the no carbs, then the 16 hour per day intermittent fast. Week 2 will certainly be less of a weight loss since most water weight is probably gone. But I can't help to think the fasting and the drastic cut in calories as a secondary result will continue to be effective.
I have much more learning Ahmed on this Keto plan. I'm also researching the carnivore diet plan. This is a total commitment to animal fats only, with few exceptions such as eggs, olive oil , butter etc. I at least want to try thos for a month at some point just to experience it.
People claim many improvements after one month of this diet.
more to come on this new subject. I'm not a big fan of weighing in every day but I think I will while on this journey. I think it will provide instant feed back on yesterday's dietary intake instead of waiting till mid week to weigh in and wonder when the change took place.
