I thought I eat well
What about veggies? LIke cutting up some celery and broccoli and cauliflower with a reduced sugar/sugarfree ranch dressing to dip them in?
Hope that helps some. Smile

i did horrible
I have done the same thing. I completely understand. Its very frustrating and hard work, but the pay off is amazing.
All you have to remember is not to let one bad meal or day ruin you.
I was set to start my diet yesterday, came to work, we had a busy meeting that took up most of our lunch break so they ordered in pan pizza from Pizza hut with Sausage and ham. How was I supposed to turn that down? lol
Needless to say I ate the chicken I packed for dinner instead of lunch in order for me to have the Pizza, lol.
Today I am on my diet. I am focused on task and no pizza will be temptation. Smile

How do I get my body in Ketosis?
There is a difference between the Atkins diet and the Ketosis diet. On Atkins, (which Im not as educated on as I am on the Ketosis diet) aren't you allowed some carbs?

On the Ketosis diet, you are not supposed to have more than 20-25g carbs/day. Most veggies have carbs that add up quickly. Even meat and eggs have carbs, thats why veggies are eliminated from the Ketosis diet.

I went to a specialist in Ketosis diets here and the diet they placed me on was 30 days of only meats and eggs, fish and some seafood. There were no veggies. For my next 30 days I was allowed a minimum amount of veggies. I still needed to stay in ketosis and maintain less than 25 g carbs/day. Then I repeated the cycle.

I didn't mean you become anorexic, what I meant was your body can go into an anorexic state causing you to burn muscle instead of fat, which is basically the same thing as startvation mode.

So far I have lost over 80 pounds in 6 months doing this. I don't recommend or push my diet on anyone. This is just what worked for me.

It is a lifestyle change, not just a diet. You can put your body into ketosis and lose the weight, but once you are out of ketosis you do take a great risk of gaining it all back. You have to be able to maintain. I'm sure later in the program more veggies and other foods will be introduced back into my diet, so my body will adjust.

Thanks! Smile

How do I get my body in Ketosis?
In order to get into ketosis you have to give up all sugars and carbohydrates. Basically a Ketosis diet means only meat and eggs and lots of water. My body can not have more than 25 grams of carbs a day in order for me to maintain Ketosis.

Make sure if you are putting your body into ketosis you are taking a good multivitamin otherwise your body can start going into anorexia regardless of your weight. You don't want to lose any exisiting muscle you have.
