Still sticking to CKD?
Did you do your first carb-up? How'd it go?

Gotta plan better for the carb up days. Did OK saturday as far as ratios, but friday was kinda messed up because its only half a carb up day. I felt kinda messed up from the 100 gram karbolyn blast post workout. Those carbs felt like they rushed my head... it was fun eating lucky charms, but I was actually looking forward to sunday morning when I could get back to this normal diet. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I used to try to track my Fridays when I went to carb up on Friday afternoon, but it all looked like a mess in my log, so I stopped all tracking on Friday and Saturday. Lucky Charms lolz... I head for a Pop Tart for some reason

Btw... on Nutrition Menu, you can go to More tab and select Journal Settings and pick to only show Cals, Carbs, Protein and Fat on your chart.

I'll give this app a couple more days, but the database for foods kinda sucks. Dailyburn's is way more expansive.

Pillar add some fish to your diet bro. You don't need to add fat to those meals, and the fats are all healthy. You should also be poppin Fish Oil pills to supplement. Just add 2 or 3 to a couple of your meals every day. Fish oil helps to burn fat/ups your metabolism. Seems like you are focusing heavily on red meat. Is there a reason? Just for higher calories? Cus if that's the case, try some turkey or chicken breast with sliced avocado on top. It's good to mix it up.

I take a fish oil supp daily morning and night actually. I'm not big on eating fish. I just don't enjoy the taste of it much... But I suppose I could slam down 1/2 pound of salmon a couple times a week. Or if I can find tuna steaks at a decent price I'll just eat that shit raw. I was sticking with the beef mostly because I've eaten so many god damn chicken breasts over the years that it was like a vacation lol... I suppose a chicken breast fried in coconut oil and smeared with some avocado wouldn't be so bad. Or chopped up into a salad w/ mayo, avocado or olives.

Peed on a thing, back in keto... I feel like a fat fuck today... Hopefully just water or something, but I hate feeling like this. Seems like sometimes my abdomen tightens up nice and later on I'll feel all fat and shit. I hate it. Anyway, feelin good otherwise. plenty of energy. Not sure if its dietary, but I'm sore as hell lately. Takes an extra day to recover and hurts like hell. I had scaled back the weights because of the reduced cals I'm eating... I grabbed some chewable glutamine tabs from Betancourt Nutrition. Maybe that'll help out.

Feeling good today. Its almost like a high or something. Maybe I'm just exhausted though lol... But I'm still very much loving this diet. Its fun to review the log, get some feed back from you guys and tweak it. For example, Goal mentioned I should get some fish in. So I had some fish today... Everyone was saying eat some greens - so I eat greens.

However, I don't think the fat loss is as dramatic as has been described for this diet; although I haven't weighed myself. I'd prefer to do this in the mirror, but I need to make sure that the weight is actually dropping. Maybe I'm eating too much still, or maybe I'm just being impatient. But I'm tempted to skip this weekends carb up, or at least just limit it to just friday postworkout until bedtime. Let me know your thoughts.


Meal 1
6 Breakfast sausages
1 scoop whey

Meal 2
2 italian sausages

Meal 3
8oz ground beef 85%

Meal 4
8oz ground beef 85%
