Hi Carlo, looking forward to your posts here on Steemit, I'm still new but best advice is to research how to maximize this platform and really engage with the community rather than leaving nonsense comments or spam.

I noticed you mentioned Ketogenic diet, personally I think that would be a very interesting topic, to post your progress. My advice is, Ketogenic requires dedication so cutting out the carbs might drive you crazy, good luck!

Sort:  

yep. It was really hard getting rid of the carbs but I was able to do it. Haven't had heavy carbs for almost 4 months. :D And thanks for the advice :)

Whoa, so how's life with no carbs? No sweets must be painful, at least for me

It really is hard. But I'm still looking for a way to eat sweets and stay in keto. hahaha. Some people have done it, but my resources are not that great that's why. hahaha

Keto is like little to no carbs, incorporating sweets is close to impossible I think, that's why it could never work for me. Can't give up chocolates and pastries :(

I suggest people simply give up table sugar and all the substitutes. Just doing that would help millions of people lose weight. Table sugar is avoided as if it were poison by me. It is very bad for me especially since my immune system is compromised (Anthrax "vaccines").

I still eat potatoes and get some carbs, but I cannot eat wheat either. That makes avoiding all of the carbs from bread and all the related stuff pretty easy. My body is basically forcing me into a Viking diet. haha I eat unprocessed meats, fruits, and veges almost exclusively.

What about honey? It is loaded with calories, and I'm guessing it breaks your diet's rules.

Hi @finnian, yep honey would break my diet's rules. Hehe. I usually use stevia and erythirol as replacaement for sugar. Hehe.

Potatoes is loaded with starch so it's one of the food to be avoided while in keto. :)

Yeah, potatoes do bad things to me too, so I need to avoid them anyway (not just for the weight gain issue). I get all itchy and covered in a rash when I eat them, wheat, eggs, or dairy. It is as if my body is forcing me to only eat fruit, meat, and certain veges.

I ignored my diet yesterday and had some potatoes for lunch from a food truck. Then I paid for it all the rest of the day. Last night I didn't sleep well because of the itching. Bah!
