The Ketosis Monologues

How many carbs a day are getting in by veggies and trace carbs??
I was LC for a long ass time but I would always eat some berries or watermelon a few times a week not for the carbs but more for a treat. Even eating berries and stuff I'd say I was around 50-75g carbs on those days so that's not much at all.

I'm eating a couple cups of broccoli here and there. I'm thinking that I will wait a week or so because I'm still dropping. I'm tired, but I think it's from work.

Last week I learned I need veggies in large amounts everyday if not I'm shitting water, and that's no fun. Lol
Added veggies back in on Saturday and I'm back to normal.

Where are you at cal wise right now??

you think protein powder is bad for body comp?

i was thinking of dropping it for a bit because it has "growth factors" which i think might help sustain my gyno... but also my muscle mass lol

When cutting protein powder takes less effort for the body to digest it than real food does. Therefore less calories are used by the body for digesting protein powder over real food. This is where highfiber greens really helps out because they burn more calories by the body to digest than the calories they contain in the food.

I've leaned out the most in my life when only eating real organic food and greens every meal, throwing in a cheat day per week for refeeds. That is impossible for me at this time in my life with my profession, but it works great for burning off the fat if you have the time to make the food.

Just thought that I would chime in with an update. I got down to about 218 before this carb up night celebration of Father's Day. A big thing that I think is helping this time around is the fat to protein balance. I am much heavier into fats this time around and I'm cutting faster than I have before, plus, I fucking love bacon (if only there was bacon flavored pussy out there;-)) and sausage and eggs.
