Matt, yes, I'm in college and on keto. I don't have any problems. People stare at me anyways, unless I'm in baggy clothing. People here think tiny 180 ibs 10-12% guys are big, and "look like they are on steroids" so what is one to do?

Ok, your tuna with mayo sounds pretty nasty to me too. Ground beef with lettace, walnutts and olive oil is more to my liking.

3rd day of keto, im struggling but gettin thru it. anyone else in college and on keto? when i ordered my tuna and mayo with no bread people were lookin at me like i was fuckin nuts.

lots of restaurants now acknowledge lo carbers
if still a hassle bring your own food
just remember to refrigerate perisible foods
if you need ideas check my thread on muscle food

yeah guys just takes some getting used to, this is my first time ever being on a strict diet. what kind of fat burners are you guys using on ur keto diets? So far ive bulked naturally and now want to cut naturally and learn my body, since this is only my 3rd year of serious training.

well it is hard the first time for everyone
when i did atkins i did not use any fat burners
once in awhile l-glutamine the first two weeks when i craved alcohol
a good multivitmin
and antiox

now i take l-carnitine, efa's, tyrosense(i am hypothryoid), b6, gugglupid, kelp, chromium, selenium, cla/ala and cayenne

found while i was on atkins i did not consume enough fat
but i lost quite a bit anyway

4th day on ckd, my cravings have finally gone away, though the cutting back on calories man, wow!! I feel hungry 24/7, but im sure my appetite will start to go down after a while. Well anyways, when i started the diet weighed in at 228lbs (im 6'2, and im guessing around 15-16% bodyfat), last night was 223lbs, probably A LOT of water weight, but results none the less.

I was a little weak but not really too bad for my workout monday night, i did notice though that i got burned out a little earlier, so maybe one or two of my later sets suffered. But overall, i already feel better, and hope to keep this up till about mid january!

first ten pounds will usually be water weight

Try getting a tuna salad, that might be better. If you're having problems in the 3rd day you still might not be in ketosis; make sure you're at least using Ketostix to measure ketone output.
