Hey Everyone!
Thanks so much for all the pointers..
I think I will try and find those books, I know that the lyle mcdonald one is hard to get unless you order it.. I did get a preview(and a pretty darn good one) of the ketogenic diet by him and got a bit of info but every second page or so was not on there, LOL.
Up my calories eh?? That might be a plan.. I am worried about doing that but its worth a try. I took the peanut butter out this week to see if that was making a difference.
My goals is to lose bodyfat.. I am 27% of 121.. so I have like 30 pounds or so of FAT.. I just dont understand where all that fat is but thats what my calipers say so Im believing it.. I will attach some pics as of today to see waht you guys think. Im competing in fitness model so I would love to be in the teens, like 17% bodyfat but thats probably not likely.. I gues I just dont have that much muscle and need to build that up.. Im super frustrated because last competition I stalled at this weight as well.. I made it down to 24% bodyfat but thats as low as I could go. I was doing highprtoen/lowcarb/lowfat then... and same thing.. STALLLLL.. and couldnt get out of it..
ezekiel (thats my sons middle name
) - so do you not cheat at all unless you stall then you do a small carb uP?

Oh I forgot to add thanks for the platimum trial
HEre is the pic as of TODAY.. and when i started keto
Hi...
You look great!! NO WAY your %27 BF!
I never cheat... Well, mostly never
Carbing up can set you back 2-4 days depending.Also, i use ketosticks to track my progress as well. It can also be a boost to let you know that you are indeed in ketosis or not. If not then you can try and figure out why.
Personally for me, I have always found that if I wasn't on top of the water intake I would stall as well.
I am currantly cutting from 230 to 205 for upcoming Judo Provincials..
There is absolutely NO way you are 27% BF, you absolutely should NOT lose 30 lbs!!! You look plenty thin enough, and remember, cameras add weight.Oh I forgot to add thanks for the platimum trial

Only thing I think you need is to do is gain some muscle, honey (just my opinion). You won't do that on the diet you're on, best you can hope for is maintenance.
I am agreeing with you on the 27% but I have had my calipers don eweek after week and they still are up in that range.. I dont have enough muscle I know 
That will be what I will work on when this competition is over.. I want to put a good 10 pounds of muscle.. but for now I need to get lean!

Your top ab is showing so there is no way your 27% fat as everyone else has said, I am guessing your more like 16-18%. I also agree with MM the you should be looking to gain lean mass vs dropping more weight in order to do that you will need carbs in your diet.
Just to share my personal experience. I was cutting for some photos and kept my diet at 1400 calories and when I stalled I went to 1100. Terrible mistake. My body paid me for it and held onto water like nobodies business. I felt miserable. I hiked my cals to 1800 on the Keto diet and dropped weight like crazy the first few weeks. Water was completely gone, I had energy to do my workouts, and I looked 100% better. The key is for those calories to be clean or if you are following Keto - no cheating. The Cyclical Keto Diet (which we discuss in the thread I shared with you) is the strictest diet you can go on. Go over on your carbs one day and it is over - your body has a field day. Men seem to get away with more cheating than us gals so if you chose Keto - 100% strict. Good thing is you have that day or so (depending on what you choose) to eat some things you probably haven't eaten in years!!
The McDonald book is worth the order.

I would love if my BF was in the teens.. LOVE IT!! lol, I need to add muscle.. I used to never want to be "muscular" and then I started to get muscles and I cant get enough!! Once these competitions are over I want to add muscle.. I will be back on here for HOW TOS on that because I just want muscle NOT fat.. I worry about gaining back the fat after keto but we will see when the time comes and I will research how to get off keto without getting all the fat back!!..
I think I will try and up my calories.. Should I up my FATS or my Protein or both?!? And when you said no cheating you mean from Sun-Sat, righT?? I only do one cheat meal because my metaolbism sucks so I feel like a whole day would just make me BALLOON!!.. I was reading that forum and I think some of my problem was I was eating quite a bit of ffat during my cheat meal. I didnt realize it made a difference.. This cheat (if I cheat this week seeing as I had my cheat on sunday because of my sons birthday) I will have cereal.. mmm.. or maybe a low fat brownie with fat free ice cream.. and PEANUT BUTTER!>.. lol.. Oh thats faT? Skip on the Pbutter then.. Anyways.. Im pretty good, well almost perfect at sticking to my diet during the week.. I worry I am taking in too little of carbs.. but I definatly never go over..
Do you think it would be smarter to not have a carb cheat and have like a KETO cheat.? Like peanut butter and stuff like that? then carb up every 2 weeks? Man this stuff is so confusing hahaha but very interesting and thank you all for all your input!~
