Advice I would give you
@albertaduke (&
@Joesmoe if serious about trying) is to be
really disciplined in your carb intake - I was clicking off avge of 3lbs a week & lost 30 in only 11 weeks. The biggest motivation to staying disciplined is seeing the results - but the foods you can eat are so enjoyable it makes it easy
The key to it working is to get into ketosis (Google it) - it just won't work if you cheat & blow out on high carbs at
some point of the day
I honestly didn't count them but recognized what foods had high carbs - that included fruit! - and just focused on proteins & fat
With vegetables, doesn't mean you can't eat those - just be selective; a good general rule (But also note is not 100%) is above ground good, below ground bad
ie cabbage Brussels broccoli cauliflower etc are all great; carrots potatoes turnips sweet potatoes etc all bad; technically onion (& families) are above ground but high sugar so pass on those
Avocados are great fruit alternative & macadamia nuts if you need to snack - if you like to eat chips, go for Fried Pork Rinds instead - still have the crunch, ZERO carbs
And again - just totally kill all bread, pasta, rice & potatoes - don't moderate, just eliminate those.
Eating out is easy - one of my standards in reduction phase was Outback Steakhouse - they had a great steak & lobster deal - enjoy those swimming in butter just pass on the bread & potato - I would typically just do double broccoli for the sides
They currently have steak & UNLIMITED shrimp deal - that's right in our wheelhouse
I LOVE Sushi - kind of a no-no with the rice though; not sure if they have where you guys are, but Poke restaurants are becoming really popular here - those are awesome and can be virtually carb-free
If either of you need a coach, more than happy to help
