I use the PE Diet as the frame which is also low carb but distinct from Keto. This book is brilliant: https://pedietbook.com/
I stay full by eating as much as I want within the window. I dont count calories at all. I might eat 2lbs of shrimp tonight if Im hungry.
I used to do a lot of whey protein before workouts and still do sometimes but I pay less and less attention to what I eat around workouts. Im getting results so dont care that much. Consistency is better than perfection.
Hi, going over the whole archive, it's great!
Is there a reason you say to avoid "Bread, rice and pasta", but not potato?
Cheers
Mark
Thanks for saying so Mark! Don't eat much potato either and definitely stay away from fries.
What would a typical meal look like in this scenario (Lunch & Dinner b/c we're skipping breakfast)?
Here's approximately what Ive eaten the last few days.
Sunday
black coffee (3-4 cups total starting at 6AM)
2PM - 8 eggs scrambled in butter with a little mozzerella, lime, salt and pepper.
A few handfuls of peanuts during the football game.
6:30PM 2 half pound burgers (no bun, no ketchup) with bacon, tomato, Mexican cheese mix.
7PM large bowl of plain yogurt with a half scoop of whey protein and frozen blueberries.
Monday
black coffee (3-4 cups total starting at 6AM)
3:30 - half pound, maybe more, of deli turkey.
7 - grilled chicken thighs and broccili olive oil, salt, pepper, lime, taco seasoning.
7:30 - large bowl of plain yogurt with 1/4 scoop of whey protein and fresh strawberries.
Today
black coffee (3-4 cups total starting at 6AM)
12PM - Two cans of salmon, salt, pepper lime and srirachia.
Tonight - pound of shrimp cold maybe more with lime and old bay

I see. So essentially keto? How do you manage to stay full and is there any effect on your workouts?

How are you on honey, as in plain yogurt with a bit of honey? And how about sweetening tea. Anything that works/ is acceptable?
Honey is essentially sugar.
Blah!
