303abuser Good old Dioralyte. Not just for the s##ts! 😂

ScottBailey reminds me of my first adventure with mct oil. they can’t put a strong enough warning around that stuff. 🤣

Hursty

wrongun That’s me, 2 kids and puppy and WFM but wife does the schooling luckily.

2 weeks will be tough but worth it, I just want to experience the feeling of being in ketosis and not relying on carbs for fuel.

I did read up Keto flu Kel, sounds really bad for some people!

Hursty want to experience the feeling of being in ketosis

You won’t know for definite unless you’re peeing on a stick. There’ll be clues like the brain fog and feeling very low on energy (whilst you adapt), but you can get that even on very low carb.

ScottBailey Ordered some strips off Amazon earlier, I start tomorrow!

ScottBailey

Hursty Think you’ll be surprised quite how low you have to go to start producing ketones. Remember feeling pretty rough and sure they must have been present, only to show I wasn’t.

303abuser

Hursty i know you said you’ve ordered already, but those strip are a waste of time and money. all they tell you is that you’re expelling ketones, which happens readily when you aren’t fat adapted. if you go by those as your measure, you’ll think you’re in deep ketosis now and in 4 months when you’re using ketones efficiently, you’ll excrete less and wonder what you’re doing wrong. bottom line is that if you aren’t eating carbs, you’re in ketosis, assuming you haven’t died.

bosstrabs

303abuser i have no idea how anyone with kids eats keto, too much work to cook separate meals and growing kids need more dietary carbohydrates.

Assume it would be pretty easy to be honest. Just cook your keto meal and then give them about 5 rounds of bread each.

“Oh you want pizza? Make your salmon, avocado and cucumber salad into a sarnie dickhead. Here’s a cheese slice.”

303abuser

bosstrabs maybe? i don’t have kids, so i’m not sure, but i’ve had a couple of friends try and quit because it was too difficult. could be they were just lazy too, who knows.

Homegrove

303abuser best one was when Burr told Rogan that he could never roller skate because his knuckles would drag the ground. 😂

303abuser

Homegrove that might be the hardest i ever laughed watching jre. love when mark normand rapid fires shit at joe too and he just plows through like it wasn’t funny.

ScottBailey

If I remember correctly, you’re not supposed to test on the first pee of the day. Second onwards. Something about the way you dehydrate throughout the night giving a false reading. I might be wrong. Read instructions as it’s been ages since I did it.
Might also be worth invensting in a blood sugar tester too. I did. Helps you understand how your insulin spikes after meals, or not.

this is where it’s at. blood sugar tests will confirm how insulin sensitive you are and how that changes from one food to another. really good idea for when your about 3 months in.

Hursty

303abuser What’s the crack? The Mrs picked some up locally today for my bulletproof coffees.

Anything to watch out for?

303abuser

Hursty start with really small doses, like a half teaspoon and see how you tolerate it. i promise if you throw a tablespoon in with some butter and coffee, you’ll pay for it about 9 minutes later. i throw a tablespoon in my shake every day, sometimes a second one later in the day if i think i need the energy, but it takes a few weeks to get to that point. slow is a good idea.

Smallman1

303’s posts are driving me to alcoholism.

303abuser

Smallman1 try not to pass out.

ScottBailey

303abuser the old “stick of butter in your coffee” trick. Could never do that. I went double cream!

Hursty

303abuser Sounds ominous, what are the side effects of going all in too fast? The shits?

303abuser

Hursty yeah it’s oil, will slide right through you until you get used to it.

ScottBailey

Hursty if you’re endurance running, you’ll be familiar with runners belly anyway, so nothing new there 😉

Hursty

ScottBailey I’m doing butter and normal coconut oil now. I thought MCT was a type of coconut oil so was going to pile in with it tomorrow.

303abuser

ScottBailey i don’t drink bullet proof coffee, it tastes great, but way too many calories and it’s not a meal replacement for me. i do make quality magic hot chocolate on occasion though (coconut cream, coconut milk, dark cocoa, mct oil, vanilla, two shots of espresso, shot and a half of bailey’s, and some thc oil). that’s a fantastic way to start a day. 😁
