Keto Space

A few days ago I posted an image from my weight loss tracker saying I had hit 120 pounds down. At first I didn’t think anything of it, other than excitement of course, but then a friend put it into perspective. She replied with, “You lost a whole person!” Can you believe that? A PERSON! I always find ways to put that number into perspective. I always try to pick up dog food, or potato bags in the store and imagine it, but I never can. I can never see the full scale of what that large number means. But a person - I lost a small, fit, person. Haha. Now that’s incredibly cool to think about.

Add this outstanding savory, herby keto Thanksgiving sausage stuffing to your Thanksgiving table! Everyone knows the best part of the Thanksgiving meal are the yummy side dishes! My favorite part of turkey day is the stuffing, and I promise no one will even miss the  grains or carbs  in this flavorful stuffing. Time to make the biscuits! The secret to keeping this stuffing low carb is first baking and then crumbling up  these homemade keto biscuits  using  almond flour  and cheddar cheese. These biscuits become the base for this recipe. It’s a genius idea that makes this stuffing over the top YUMMY! From there on, the rest of the process is pretty much the same as most sausage stuffing recipes – just use chicken broth and fresh herbs like sage and parsley.

When I stepped on the scale in April 2019, I was whopping 187 pounds (Obese for 5'5" guy). I was very worried and wanted to loose weight to a normal level and that is when I learnt about Keto. I mostly did lazy keto. I was just making sure that I was under 20g of carbs. Most of my meals involved combination of coffee or tea, rotisserie chicken, veggie stir fry, eggs, chicken and goat curry. I had my high and low but at the end, I did it. I am now 140 pound (as of November 2019) and in normal weight range with near perfect blood pressure level. I now wear Small (instead of L) and my waist is down to 29 from 34. To everyone who is on Keto and or planning on getting on keto diet: Keep going. It's worth it. You will feel better. People with respect you. You will respect yourself. Life will be less difficult. You will buy a lot of clothes.

KETO diet Effect : 125# Down, almost <200. Finally feeling good about myself. Keto chaos SW 340, CW 215, GW <185 Started Keto and CICO on 03Jun19, took the shirtless pics literally 20 minutes ago as proof for a friend in disbelief, ended with myself in disbelief as well. Wife found the old pics from right when I started and my god, I never realized how big I was. https://imgur.com/gallery/CmKMrWz Not much else to say other than the holidays have been tempting and I ate cookies for the first time today since I started. They were delicious. Haha.

So yeah, keep going is the best keto advice I give to myself . I started well over 18 months ago wearing 3x shirts and 24 size jeans and yesterday I bought size 6 jeans and size small shirts. Whenever I hear from the "Are you sick?" "Don't lose anymore weight."  "Your husband must like you so much better right now!" No response is my response. I know I've said this a million times but this support group is awesome and has helped me when have the I want to give up moments. Thank you , thank you. Keep Calm and Keto On

There is a lot I could say but I’ll keep it simple. At my heaviest I was over 280lbs, I started not eating so much and being more active but still struggled at 273lbs, but lo’ and behold I found keto. I started out in June on the 13th, slipped up 2 weeks in but got back to it. Today is the 20th day in the month of November as of this post. I’ve gone from a 2xl to a medium shirt, a size 44 waist to 36. I’m still going for more though, trying to get to a place I’ve never been before. No doubt this was fast, and my age played a factor, but it is the effort you put in that gets you there. So don’t give up, run that good race to the finish. Because when you get there you’re going to realize that it was worth it.

Ditching carbohydrates and eating lots of fat may give some protection against the flu. Feeding mice the so-called keto diet seems to boost certain immune cells, which may be responsible for the effect. The keto diet forces the body to burn fat for energy, which can help with weight loss, and people may get flu-like symptoms known as the “keto flu” as their body adapts to so little carbohydrate. The keto diet has also been linked to improved  heart health and control of blood sugar in diabetes , but much of the evidence is conflicting. Akiko Iwasaki at Yale School of Medicine and colleagues previously found that the keto diet reduced inflammation in mice with gout. Because inflammation is common to both gout and flu, the team thought the keto diet could similarly deal with flu-related inflammation, which can severely damage the lungs. To put this theory to the test, the team fed mice infected with influenza A – the most serious type of the virus – either a keto or sta...
