My 30 Day Keto Diet Ended This Morning.. (Spoiler: it Works)

Started a month ago, I felt I needed to lose 12 pounds. Maybe as much as 15 pounds. Hoped to get a good start, and lose 8 pounds. Began 31 days ago, intending to diet via reduced calories, until someone suggested Keto that first day. I immediately accepted, and dove right in.

Tran, what did you eat?

Double cheeseburgers (no bun), eggs, sausage, bacon, Lamb, a little fish, octopus, crabs, tuna, and snails.. Cheese, almonds, avacodo, asparagus, a little watermelon and blue berries. Dark chocolate (real dark chocolate, 88% coco). Tried to stay at 20 net carbs or less, hit 25 carbs on 3 days.

I typically walk about 5 miles a week. Increased to about 8 miles a week the past 30 days.

Starting today, I will bump the net carbs to 50-60 grams per day, for a week or more. And then allow one day per week to eat whatever, including fried chicken, french fries, sweetened beverages. But no pure crap, like candy, cake, ice cream, cookies, etc... Yeah, sweet Sodas are pure crap, but it's one day per week, LOL..

30 days from now I will re-evaluate if any changes are needed. I expect to keep almonds, cheese, avacados, asparaguus, dark chocolate, eggs, watermelon and berries as regular staples.

I lost 15.5 pounds the past 30 days. Did not weigh myself during that period. The mirror was telling me the diet was working.
Nice. My friend went on the same diet and lost 30 lbs. I need to do the same with my fat ass.

Thanks Guys.. cảm ơn các bạn

I'm posting one more day, 31 total. Now at 16 pounds lost in 31 days. I have just 2 more hours to go, and I fell into my usual Keto routine today, LOL.. Ate my remaining lamb chops and a hard boiled egg, later a small peice of dark chocolate, and one chicken wing. Done for the day.

The Keto was great, because it not only shed pounds, but by day 5 my appetite for ''bad stuff'', the high carb foods, melted away. I was not even mildly tempted to fail. I had people in my car eating fresh hot McDonalds fries, but never considered asking for ''just 2 or 3''! I got some Coke last night, anticipating popping one open today, but... Meh. It can stay in the fridge for now.
I see it’s been a while, but I’d like to chime in. Congrats on completing your 30-day Keto journey, and it's awesome to hear that it worked for you! Losing 15.5 pounds is a fantastic achievement! As for me, I was also on the hunt for a suitable weight loss program that wouldn't compromise my health. After some research, I stumbled upon Reverse Health, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! I decided to give it a shot, and boy, am I glad I did. The results have been amazing! I lost weight in a healthy way, and the best part is that I've been able to maintain a normal weight for a long time now. And the best part is, I feel fantastic! It's not one of those crash diets that leave you feeling depleted or deprived.
