    I am interested to know if many on here follow a keto diet

    • mickeyjuiceman on 18/11/2018 - 17:51

      Yep, 16kg down since start of August, 30 to go. It's great.

      OTOH, a lot of these supposedly "Keto" cookbooks on Amazon are unadulterated garbage, so beware.

      • NuclearWessels on 18/11/2018 - 19:03

        What are some of your go-to keto meals? I'm interested in giving it a go

        • at9 on 18/11/2018 - 19:33
          +7

          I've been doing it for a while now and my go to lazy meal is carbonara with shirataki noodles.
          As a very basic guide this is what I eat;
          For lunch I eat a lot of salads with heaps of avocado, feta and olives with olive oil based dressing.
          Dinner is some protein with roasted or sauteed broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus with olive oil.
          You also end up eating a lot of eggs as they are easy to add to most dishes.
          Snacks tend to be walnuts or macadamias I tend to avoid almonds simply because of the higher carbs but you can work them in.
          Black coffee is main stay for me and I quite like bulletproof coffees.

          The hardest part is realising just who many carbs are in everything as a few grams here and a few grams there adds up pretty quick.
          In all honestly it took me a good 6 weeks to actually get used to this and get this down pat.

          There are quite a few channels on youtube that will give you a good idea how to make keto variants of meals.

          Well, lots of steak :-) Mostly in sous vide, but that dates back to long before keto.

          Bacon and eggs for lunch, often. I'm fat-adapted (fat burning rather than carb burning), so I usually don't have breakfast. Currently fasting for a couple of days, maybe longer.

          Slow-cooked brisket. Chicken sausage (from the QVM, not Woolies/Coles). Fathead pizza. Avocado. Some panfired Asian veges. Cauliflower puree. Noodles spiralised from daikon or zucchini.

          Plenty of great foods to choose from.

          • D-Man on 19/11/2018 - 02:16

            @mickeyjuiceman: any particular reason besides general quality you avoid buying chicken sausage from woolies/coles? should i buy from a local butcher instead?

              +2

              @D-Man: Most of the sausages you get from there would be full of rice flour or other fillers which can affect the carb content.

              Saying that, make sure you ask your local butcher if they're adding anything to their sausages as well

              • ChickenTalon on 19/11/2018 - 07:54

                @butter: I get my local butcher to make filler free ones. All the butchers I’ve asked add rice flower to the saussages.

                Filler free are best BBQ-ed over a grill. They don’t pan fry well IMO

            • mickeyjuiceman on 19/11/2018 - 13:13

              @D-Man: As @sabamaro said, to avoid the fillers (carbs). They are only $14/2kg, and have talked to the butcher who makes them - 60/40 chicken trimming/chicken fat. They are awesome.

          • stickymoo on 19/11/2018 - 13:50

            @mickeyjuiceman: Sounds more like a carnivore diet or at most a low carb diet.

        If you had a worthwhile understanding of prolonged ketosis you would indicate why it is not wanted, comparing to negatives of obesity and the negative self-image that typically occurs with obesity.

      • surethang on 19/11/2018 - 13:04

        This is kind of meaningless.

        The only thing a keto diet requires is to reduce carbohydrates. Beyond that, there are no specific nutrition requirements. So it's easy to eat a massively crappy, nutritionally poor keto diet; one deficient in essential vitamins and minerals, with no veges, full of bad fats only, etc.) Likewise, the keto dieter could go to the other extreme and choose only very healthy food options.

        I see a lot of keto recipes that are just junk. Sure, they're low in carbs, but in the long run, they may be causing health issues unrelated to eating low carbs. (The occasional indulgence is of course generally ok :)

        There are no rigorous, long-term studies on the keto diet that take into account these other significant factors.

        And the only very long-term, solid keto studies to date are on epileptic patients (where the diet first got attention). Most show a massive decline in their seizures with varying side issues, again with no accounting for what factors caused the issues.

        But If you've got scientific sources that say otherwise, I'd love to read them. Thanks.

    • okp on 18/11/2018 - 23:49

      i was 96 kilos in beginning of 2018 and went on keto for two months, and it dropped pretty much straight line to 80kg without any additional exercise,

      from march to now, i been eating carbs, and sugars, and beers, supper and all sorts of rubbish.. like the diet before.. and the weight slowly creeped back to 89kgs today..

      will give another month of keto soon, and get ready for summer body..

    My wife is, and has lost a lot of weight. She is also exercising more, but the diet has definitely helped her both with weight and irritable bowel (I know - too much info). I've joined her, although not as strictly - eating same dinners and reducing my carb intake, and it is also helping me lose the few kilos I wanted to trim plus as a bonus lowered my pre-diabetic blood sugar levels to normal.

    Long term I am not sure about the overall health impacts of the diet, but the good side (actual weight reduction) does make it worth considering. Definitely consult with a dietician first though, in particular if you have other health issues.

    For those on the diet, I recommend trying the fat head pizza (http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2013/06/30/weekend-bo…) as well as watching the fat head movie (it's on netflix).

    • surethang on 19/11/2018 - 22:42

      These experts don't seem too knowledgeable on basic nutrition or what you can eat on the keto diet.

      From https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/keto-diet/reviews

      While dieters will lose weight on Keto, they’ll also give up fruits, whole grains, and starchy and nonstartchy vegetables, one expert noted

      There are a plenty of fruits you can eat on the keto diet. Watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, avocado, etc. are all low in carbs. If you're looking to indulge occasionally, grab a serve of strawberries and cream, or strawberry cheesecake. Yum!

      And there are dozens of nonstarchy low-carb vegetables that can (and should) be eaten in serious quantities on the keto diet.

      I'm not sure what diet the experts thought they were reviewing, but it wasn't keto.

      • mickeyjuiceman on 19/11/2018 - 23:01

        usnews. Always consider the source. They are not all that reliable.

        The best bit in there was about how it was bad for diabetics…

        • captaincabinets on 20/11/2018 - 10:30

          King of confirmation bias, right here. 2.3/5 for diabetes. "The experts, on average, rated the Keto diet as “minimally effective” in preventing or controlling diabetes. “It is not safe for people with diabetes,” one expert said. Still, some research has shown that cutting carbs and avoiding obesity could keep the chronic disease at bay."

          The first actual point you've made other than "waah you're trolling" and it's ridiculously cherry picked.

      • captaincabinets on 20/11/2018 - 10:24

        Well done 'surethang' for pointing out genuine errors in the article, rather than just following the Mic strategy which seems to be largely "lalala you're wrong keto is great".

        The fact remains that an article headed by 25 experts rates it as a severely unhealthy diet. My issue is that uninformed people jump on whatever fad is the flavour of the month (see also, paleo, atkins, superfoods) with little or no evidence. As I said above, do what you like it's your body.

        "Health issues include high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high total cholesterol". 40k+ people died of heart disease in Australia last year. I'd be seeing your doctor before following your reckons.

        • surethang on 20/11/2018 - 15:01
          +2

          Actually, there are also a lot of scientist experts, doctors and nutritionists out there who are doing solid studies and having well-regarded outcomes with patients.

          So which group of experts should we believe?

          The reality is that no one has done long-term studies on keto accounting for the many key nutritional factors. So no one can talk definitively about the diet's long-term health effects.

          So what do we know at the moment? Many studies are showing great results from the diet for single-issue diseases like diabetes. That means the experts in the review you referred to are either out of date on their research or showing personal bias. Combined with their lack of understanding of some basic nutrition concepts, I wouldn't put too much weight on their views.

          As for LDL and the like, again, the science is not clear. We used to believe that a pure high LDL figure was bad. Then we were told it was the different LDL particle sizes that were key. Now there's substantial evidence showing that the focus on LDL is overblown because it has little relationship with actual deaths. It seems the cholesterol ratios are showing better promise:

          https://www.drsinatra.com/the-most-important-cholesterol-rat…
          http://roguehealthandfitness.com/the-most-important-lipid-pa…

          We also know that there are some hyper-responders for who the keto diet is not suitable. But that's the same for any diet. Pick just about any food group and you'll find a bunch of people who have allergies or bad reactions. It's easy to criticise something if all we do is cherry pick the worst cases.

          Also, there's no one keto diet. Anyone could go on keto and eat junk food all day so long as it's very low carb. Likewise, they could make healthy low-carb food choices. So with so much potential variety, it's not really possible to evaluate the diet without looking at a lot of other nutritional factors that may have a far greater impact.

          Fortunately, science converges on an answer over time. So hopefully when it comes to keto we'll have that answer one day. I'm not holding my breath that it'll be soon, because with nutrition there are too many political stakeholders, commercial interests, and just pure bias that get in the way.

    Is there anyone here who went on keto diet for muscle gain (since it's a high protein diet) and a more sustained source of energy (ketones)? I definitely don't need weight loss, but the other parts sound appealing.

    • stickymoo on 18/11/2018 - 21:37

      Terrible diet if your main goal is muscle gain. Energy is dependent on what type of energy you require. Which, if it is energy for muscle gain. Then your answer is no.

      Also, keto is not high in protein

      The original keto diet is 4:1 ratio of fat to protein and carbs, 90% of calories come from fat, 6% from protein, and 4% from carb. More typically now it is 3:1, with 4:1 still being the gold standard. Depending on requirements and/ or what you are trying to achieve.

      Is there anyone here who went on keto diet for muscle gain (since it's a high protein diet)

      Keto is absolutely NOT a high protein diet, excessive protein intake knocks you out of ketosis. For athletic people it's a moderate protein diet, for relatively sedentary people it's a low-moderate protein diet.

      That aside, keto is not for muscle gain. It's HUGELY muscle sparing, so doing a bulk with carbs THEN going keto for the cut will yield amazing body composition results. Fit people, weightlifters and athletes alike can all benefit from keto, but it's for maintenance or cutting phases not for bulking.

      • ChickenTalon on 19/11/2018 - 08:00
        +1

        Excessive protein will not knock you out of ketosis, very common myth. But it may cause you to gain weight (or not lose any) due to the calories. This is also true of excess fat intake. If excess protein was a problem then all of those Zero Carbers would be in trouble as they munch through kilos of steak.

        Upregulation in Gluconeogenesis is demand driven. Your body ain’t going to start making glucose due to large volumes of dietary protein. It will only increase production of glucose if the body needs it and it has none. You know your body can easily make glucose from fat too, yet somehow people seem to be caught up by excess protein as a problem for ketosis.

        Probably one of the better reads on the subject here
        http://www.ketotic.org/2012/08/if-you-eat-excess-protein-doe…

        Having said that, moderating protein is good for other reasons.

        • mickeyjuiceman on 19/11/2018 - 13:16

          • stickymoo on 19/11/2018 - 14:05

            @mickeyjuiceman: It is a terrible response. With so many statements wrong there’s no point even replying. Smashed Avo is on the right track.

            Mic, you are not on a ketogenic diet. Your body would only be in ketosis when you wake up or when/ if you are fasting. Even then your ketone levels would be low.

            Not to say that your whole food, low carb, elimination diet isn’t beneficial & you probably feel great. But it is not keto. Which isn’t a bad thing.

        • stickymoo on 19/11/2018 - 14:30

          The study is about excess protein & does it convert to glucose. Which doesn’t have anything to do with ketones. Ketosis. Knocking your body out of a state of ketosis.

          Luckily it is very easy to monitor ketone levels & to understand what response certain foods & in this case higher levels of protein than advocated by a standard/ recommended ketogenic diet will have on ketone levels.

          Which isn’t a debated topic. Because all peer reviewed science points one way.
