Hmm, those MCTs will just go right through ya, eh?

Quest makes an mct powder that’s easier on the digestive system. Just keep in mind that it uses a small amount of carbs as a binder. Pretty flavorless though and you won’t feel like you are drinking an oil slick.

Day 7 weigh in

5.4lbs lost since starting.

As Viduus mentioned before it's likely due to dropping carbs and not an accurate representation of actual fat or muscle loss. Regardless, I am going to be eating above maintenance this today through Sunday. Hot Italian sausage for dinner!

Keto is the diet I enjoyed the most out of everything I've tried. Not sure why but my reflux disappeared pretty much overnight when on this diet. I could actually eat spicy foods again, Sriracha got put on most everything lol.

My favorite breakfast in the world, you have to try it Spongy:

1 cup of spinach sauteed in butter
1 cup of ground turkey with taco seasoning (cooked, crumbled)
4 eggs
1/4 cup of sour cream
2 tablespoons of guacamole

Pre-cook the turkey in bulk
Sautee the spinach up, then add in the eggs and turkey in the same pan
Cook until the eggs are desired consistency
Add some sriracha and enjoy

Doing this tomorrow morning for breakfast. Looking forward to it!

Just use the wife test to know if you are in ketosis. Breathe on her and if she throws up in her mouth from your nasty acid breath you are g2g.

It's funny cause it's TRUE. If your breath smells like your using cat shit for toothpaste your doing it right...lmao
