Ketogenic diet--back on it for a while

[Joshk358]

As of April 1st I started back up on a Keto diet. I did this a few years back for around a year. Dropped from 216 to 185. Which is where I want to be. I went back and forth between keto a few times between then and now....my body seems to do really well on it. So...this year I decided I'm going back to it for a while. I've never been "out of shape", just wanting to lean out a bit. I like food...what can I say, to much of it sometimes. lol. So, a couple weeks ago was 200lbs even, 15.8% bodyfat. Today, I'm at 192 and 14.9% bodyfat. Not a huge drop, but just nice and steady. Feeling great.

I've been thinking about doing this as well. Only thing holding me back is that being strict keto is so damn annoying socially when you're out with friends at restaurants or on travel. Ummm... I'll have a bowl of ground beef and cheese?

For me, once I'm on it a week or two it's pretty easy. I like fatty steaks, pork, salmon, avocados, butter etc. Cheese too. Always options at most restaurants.

My favorite keto dinner is cut up grilled Venison steaks, sliced avocado, crumbled blue and feta cheese, mixed like a salad and covered in balsamic and olive oil.

Socially, wings are good, burgers with no buns, and bourbon. However, drinking really sucks in keto. It feels more like altitude sickness than a fun buzz.

Yeah, wings is where it's at for sure when dinning out. My go-to is cauliflower rice with meat (ground venison, beef, pork, chicken) and cream cheese and some seasoning. My kids say it looks like puke....but man is it good.
