The "common sense" diet.
I have a friend who also refers to it as the "Don't eat like an ##### diet".

Good that lifting is a big part of your strategy. Eating a little better is always good.. Maybe take one day a week where you really go lean. And try adding a cardio aspect to your work-outs. I've suggested this before but add some hiking. I did two trail hikes this week (4 and 6 miles). Scenery is beautiful; terrain is challenging; and it adds variety (less boredom) to what you do.

Nice 2 lb loss this week, but that's just getting me back to where I was two weeks ago. Better than nothing, but I have to tighten up my diet to get things moving again.

Great week. Did 56 miles on the bike Saturday. And the most intense weight lifting session of my life. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a ##### when it comes to weight lifting.
Going to see if the fitness center at work has trainers I can work with to expand my routine.

Back in the right direction. Been just trying to keep portion size down and not have seconds. Had a little too much on satuday and a family get together. The food is just soooooo Good. Also keeping the pop/soda to a minimum. should figure out how to eliminate it but slow and steady.

I am about 14 hours into a 42 hour solid food fast due to a medical procedure. I do not know how any of you guys live on water for 36 hours. I can eat jello and drink Gatorade but am already irritated at this whole process.Nugget said:
Good luck Nugget.

Thanks - 24 hours in, 12 to go. I am aware of the fast but I'm not overly hungry. It feels more like a sensation than really being hungry. I haven't had much physical activity today, but that was on purpose. Overall I feel good. Plan is to go to bed around 10:00 tonight, and break the fast with some coffee and cream at the airport tomorrow morning around 5:30am. I'll eat a light breakfast in Phoenix after I land.

Week 5
starting weight: 235
last week: 226.4
today: 222
week loss: -4.4
Back on track! I've been honing in my diet. I fast either 48-72 hrs, then eat a decent sized meal within an hour. I love granola, so I found some with good macros and lotsa dried fruit and eat a big bowl with almond milk. Then I usually have some scrambled eggs and protein, and some fresh veggies. Either that, or just load up on fresh fruit, because, summer in California.
i look noticeably different. I'm starting to get comments from people at work (mostly women) and I'm noticing I'm getting "the look" now. Somebody stop me before I go out and buy a corvette and grow a ponytail. Midlife crisis- activate!

Nicely done. Sounds like you didn't struggle at all.
I lost some workouts last week due to a sore back so I hit the weights today. I was afraid that working out might make me hungry but that wasn't the case. I never even ate any jello but did drink lots of Gatorade.
The fast was the easy part of the day. I am prepping for a colonoscopy and am in the beginning of toilet hell. I hate this. I think there is a thread on this whole nightmare.

Best of luck. I thought the airport was going to suck and then 105 degree heat, but I don't want to trade.

I've found myself recently getting bored with Keto - I still enjoy what I'm eating the majority of the time but after 7+ months I'm just kind of over it.
Anybody have any suggestions for maintenance? I still want to lose 10 more pounds of fat and add muscle.

I'm not doing it any more either. I just eat less and that works out pretty well.

OK, so my more full review of the Zevia pop I got from Amazon. I've tried all the flavors, and they are all at least OK, some are pretty good. The Root Beer and cream soda are my two favorites. The cola tastes pretty much like Coke Zero. The grape and orange are OK. Most of them (other than the root beer and cream soda, which are more subtle) have a definite "stevia" taste (my wife can't stand it, I definitely notice it but it doesn't bother me). The "Mountain Zevia" tastes the least like what it is imitating. It tastes nothing like Mountain Dew, or even Dt Mt Dew. It taste more like Fresca, but it was great mixed with some rum.
Bottom line, I will be ordering again. It definitely hits the spot if you are craving pop, but don't want the sugar, and don't want the artificial sweeteners of diet pop. The price point (about a dollar a can) slows the intake so I'm definitely not drinking three+ cans a day. I limit it to one a day max, unless I'm mixing alcohol in it.

I basically dropped what I had gained the week before, so basically a 2 week stop gap with no change. This week will be interesting as not only did I visit the parents over the weekend which meant a pizza fueled evening one night (well worth it), but the kids practice schedules start to pick back up this week, so I may not be able to hit the gym after work as often. So now I either have to get myself back into the habit I had about 5-6 years ago of being up by 4am, gym at 4:30 and in to work by 6:30, or risk having the routine be a little less regular. Going to get through this week while fine tuning the kids final practice schedules to see what will work, as I really enjoy the afternoon gym sessions and the basketbal lgames I am getting back into. Hoping some sort of hybrid approach will work where I can still get in 2-3 afternoons/week.

It's just boredom - I enjoy all kinds of food but I HATE cooking so I depend on the wife to cook and she's not doing strict KETO. It's not difficult to do it and the food is still good.Bull Dozier said:

Skipped the gym last week while I relied on moving lots of furniture for fitness thrills.
First night back on the Step Mill: http://i.imgur.com/xqYqqsj.jpg
My inner-Jethro ciphered incorrectly that I was on a 32:50 pace. Re-ciphered late and determined I needed to maintain level 15/20 for the final 30 seconds to break the 33 barrier. Ended up at 33 flat, "but alas", Jethro struggled with operating smartphone camera with pulse at 165 - as reflected in the pic.
ETA: But Alas is my Boy George tribute band name.

How much of a difference do you think the carbs make? Are you aiming towards certain carbs?

Definitely hit a plateau. Been bouncing between 278-281 for a while now, but I haven't really been trying that hard. Guess I should try and refocus my energies.

I continue to gain weight. My BIL asked me the other day if I've been juicing. Said I look huge. Wife has several times mentioned the size of my arms, and says she's never seen me this big. I guess F it, maybe I'm just better off trying to become a big jacked dude. Then the gut won't matter so much.
But srsly at some point, probably after vacation this week, I'm gonna stop eating garbage and look to lose some more fat.
Still loving and sticking to PHUL though. Something like 4 months in. And feeling great. Fun to imagine where I'll be in another 6 months. Major goal is 100lb dumbells on flat bench. At 85 now and getting close to stepping up to 90, so it's not all that far off.

No. The IF scares me a little being a diabetic. Don't want my blood sugar to get to low by not eating.
I'm just chalking it up to summer disrupting the routine I had developed while my son was away at school. He goes back on the 23rd so I will try and re-establish a better routine for myself when it's just me at home.

The good... have managed to lose 40 pounds now. Getting compliments and comments from people, especially those that haven't seen me since before I turned it around. Also increased my longest daily bike total from 56 miles up to 68.5 miles.
The bad... rode through having tight calves. A lot of stretching and a heat pad fixed them, but they caused shin splints in one leg. Read up on treatment, and trying to tough it out and keep going leads to stress fractures. :( So now I'm completely sidelined from the bike until the shin splints go away.
