Alright guys so I'm not sure about everyone but from my personal experience of being obese I had no idea what was considered a healthy diet, not to say that i knew the wrong foods to eat but had no clue as far as the nutrition properties and medical science behind a proper diet.
So, this week has been a hard one, must I say. I gained 5 pounds within 5 days and I was left scratching my head as I predominantly stuck to the same " Carnivore Diet " as I was instructed. I had to go back to the drawing board and not happy with my results. This lead me to really research " diets " ( although as you know its a lifestyle change ) and learned the difference between Keto and Carnivore.
I have to admit Keto was backed up by Science that made sense to me and for the past 2 days I modified my meals and what I call " weight loss strategy " to fit the ketogenic diet.
1) I am now counting carbs to the T, no more " Oh, I cant have breads, pasta, beans, rice etc " I check nutritional labels much more heavily than just assume what i wasnt supposed to eat.
2) No more sugar!! Part of the Keto process is having your own body USE the already glucose and fat stored within itself so sugar has become my enemy! Little did I realize before that sugar was a big NO NO although I stayed away from sweets but you'd be shocked at how much sugar certain foods have INCLUDING some proteins. 🤯
3) Lower Protein Levels, as your body will naturally turn a lot of protein into insulin which spikes sugar levels ( WHICH I NEVER KNEW WHILE BEING ON THE CARNIVORE DIET! 😂)
4) Up fat intake, adding stuff like butter and certain oils with food that naturally has fat is a important element about the diet.
5) Intermittent fasting, still trying my best to stay on schedule
6) Continued exercise, adding slight weight training to my routine instead of cardio will allegedly help my body push into Ketosis
Anyway, these are the new changes that I am implementing in my routine, I purchased the keto test strips and can see a clear difference in my body's ketosis. As soon as I woke up I checked levels and there was no ketosis, a few hours after my keto meal and keto levels have risen. I highly recommend anyone trying the keto diet to consider the keto strips as it will help you monitor your levels. Anyway, the good news is I have dropped 3 pounds 2 days going fully keto! bad news I'm still at a 2 lb gain from the last weigh in 😭 BUT being self disciplined and eager to continue to lose the weight keeps me pushing. I hope I shared at the very least SOME knowledge, I'm not a doctor just simply a man trying to change his stars. Anyhow, thanks for the constant support and I wish you all the best! 🙂

@TheFatmanNuke, I looked at your weight chart and food diaries. FIRST: You've lost FORTY-SIX POUNDS so far. Great progress! Keep your focus on the trend. Combining LCHF/keto and intermittent fasting is a great strategy. SECOND: Consider planning your meals a day in advance and recording *everything* you eat. It will help your focus AND provide info on what works and what doesn't. It's the fastest way to educate yourself on what works (and doesn) for YOU, and the data will be a good reference for easy meal planning. THIRD: Urinary ketone levels can be inaccurate after a while, and the number on the scale can be deceiving. And, I know you're also working out at the gym. So, as an additional point of reference, record your body measurements once a month. YOU'VE GOT THIS!

All food will trigger serum insulin release, which encourages fat storage and retention: carbs, then protein, then fat. Anything that tastes "sweet" (even zero-cal, zero-carb sweeteners and soft drinks) will trigger a "cephalic" insulin response. (I used to say that I could gain weight just *thinking* about a candy bar. That's not far from the truth!) On carnivore, don't worry so much about "macros" beyond keeping carbs VERY low to zero. Eat protein and fat till you ate comfortably full. (I know that's hard to tell for some.) Think about what you tend to overeat: It's NOT protein. It's carbs! There's always "room" for dessert, but you can trust your instincts when it comes to protein. Also, spend some time watching Ken D. Berry, M.D.'s YouTube videos. Search his name and a topic (like "carnivore" or "keto" or "macros"), and you'll get tons of great info. His videos are also often under 10 minutes, so they're easy to fit into your leisure moments.
