CKD GURU's and USERS!!!

how long do most stay on this diet? Until goals are met? I was thinking 4-6 weeks. My girlfriend is concerned, saying this diet is unhealthy, I asked her what she thought of her two cheesebuger meal after getting hammered on saturday night. But this diet cant be "healthy". Then again, i'm a results over health guy anyways. And in case anyone who know's my gf reads this, she's a healthy girl 99% of the time and pretty much the only reason i'd ever do cardio

Yeah. I can drop into ketosis very easily. All my clients that I had on this diet could do the same. This diet is very healthy. Here's a story for your GF. I had a friend that was fat and had very high cholesterol. His doc prescribed him some cholesterol meds and told him to start exercising and eating better. He came to me for help. I put him on a ckd and a few other supps, not AAS, and told him to hold off on the meds. 3 months later he went back to the doc. He lost about 25 lbs and his cholesterol was great. The doc said all cocky "well I see you've been taking your meds and took my advice.". My friend says "No. I haven't taken the meds you prescribed me and I didn't follow your advice on the diet". The doc says "so how did you make such fast progress?". "I've been eating 75% fat and working out 3 days a week.". The doc couldn't believe it. My friend laughed and thanked me for the help.

It's really a great diet for health. I know a lot of "experts" in the medical community will disagree. I had female co worker who lost a ton of weight and dropped her cholesterol levels to well under 200 mg/dL for first time in 20 years. Diet was mostly cream cheese, bacon and macadamian nuts. I don't even think she worked out aside from a daily walk in the park with her dog.

can someone just explain ketosis to me...?

is this just a term for your body using fats as energy as opposed to carbs...?

this looks really involved... and what are keto sticks...?

i'd like to try this in about 9 more weeks or so... but i have much to read before then...

ketostix are just a stick that you piss on that will turn colors (litmus paper like) and it allows you to tell if you have ketones in your urine. This is a sign that you are burning fat.

Ketogenic diets have been used in the past to treat things like epileptic seizures as well because of how it changes the way the brain uses energy.

What are your calories like? Compared to your maintence cals? Did you drop cals at all?

Depending on what your goals are, of course yuod want to drop calories down. Go to the lobby of this forumn and a sticky article at the top is MR.X's CKD worksheet. Go there type in your info and it works the numbers out for you. The nall u have to do is get the foods to hit those numbers!

Pretty Easy....

The problem can be the blandness of food choices....
I eat, chicken, steak, porkchop, roast beef, low carb ANPB, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, once in a while motz cheese sticks (but u have to be REAL carefull with dairy products.) and egg whites, and protein shakes.

Reccomend you up the cardio and keep training hard with the weights.

For the first couple days into ketosis you may feel a little slow or have headaches, thats due to your body changing over and using a new source for fuel. Its really not that bad as long as long as u can cook your meals and have time to eat 6 times a day. I like to carry around some PB with me if I know I may miss a meal. (some people can't because they will eat the whole jar, it's addicting :-D )
