KETOGENIC Diet

[ambitious]

^ as long as it doesn't have nitrates or msg in the list of ingredients, that should be fine. Again preferably, grass fed. same goes with bacon.

You may want to watch Dr Berg's videos. 

yes you are right, Dr. Eric Berg videos are very informative, I learned a lot from him

Im thinking of jumping into this lifestyle soon!

sis aviot hindi ako doctor nakabase lang ako sa internet information siguto dapat pagalingin mo muna ang gall stones mo at gastrisis. I have a friend na peras ang nakagaling ng acid reflux nia. sa gall stones mo naman parang hindi pwede ang high protein sa iyu kasi more on meat sya, pero ang fasting makakainam yun sa gall mo kasi napapahinga sya sa pagprocess ng food, pero conflict nga kasi may pangangasim ka may stones pa, baka di pwede sa iyu ang ketogenic diet kasi kahit fruits na matamis dapat iwasan,

^thanks for sharing.

Yun din ang naiisip ko,  sayang lang lots attest to this lifestyle pa naman na effective.

So i survived 1 month, yey! Ok sya for me, hindi ako basta basta nagugutom. Yun nga lang, now I'm suffering from keto flu. Now i have wild sore throat (quoting my doctor) that started last October 2nd. Sobrang frustrated na ako kasi twice na ako nagpatingin and hindi daw talaga infected. I guess i have electrolyte deficiency,  I just can't pinpoint which one but I'm suspecting it's magnesium. Nagreresearch pa ko regarding this. Sobrang sakit ng throat ko to the point that i can't speak. Anyone else experienced the same?

[euwie]

thanks for the reply, I can't seem to find kerrygold here in doha but anchor is available. about bread I don't have time para gumawa ng bread, maybe its time to forget nalang kahit whole wheat pa sya.

How about hotdog kaya especially yung purefoods franks, is it okay to include in the diet?

Sis try mo spinneys for kerrygold butter. I live in dubai at dun ko yun nakita sa spinneys.  Hth!

I think I am already entering keto flu, i feel dizziness, cravings for junk foods, irritation, mood swing and nahihirapan na akong makatulog agad, pero yung sore throat di ko yan na-experience, kailangan malagpasan natin ito and after daw nito we are good na. I have a friend na di ko nakita in 2 months mas chubby chubby sya sa akin ang laki ng iginanda ng katawan nya as a whole after this diet.

I've read na makakatulong sa iyu kung uminom ka ng chicken broth or maalat na liquid.

Yes, thanks, I think I saw spinneys here, will try it.

Hi mga SiS,

Im on my 3rd day sa diet na to. So far may slight dizziness lang ako and masakit ang ulo pero kaya

pa naman and nabawasan nadin ako ng 2lbs.  Pinaka cheat ko lang eh nag coffee padin ako yung

coffee ko is yung KOPIKO LA. Di ko kasi talga sya maalis eh.

Gumagawa lang ako ng salad ko with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing tapos yung mga ulam chicken, pork, tuna, eggs, ham and bacon. Naeenjoy ko naman yung diet ko so far.

[ambitious]

Good morning!

sana mabuhay ang thread na ito, from my experience and as of today from 59 to nearly 60 kilos down to 56.8 kilos IF and ketogenic, sana mag-tuloy tuloy na

[pinkmoscato]

I want to try this kind of diet. I've been watching youtube videos and been reading articles about it. DM runs in the family and I have PCOS pa so I guess I really need to try this out. I think I will try muna egg-fasting for 5 days. so puro eggs, cheese and water lang for 5 days and let's see what will happen.
Goodluck to us mga sis!

I am now on a diet which started last week. Only eating an egg in the morning, 1 egg at lunch and oatmeal with chia seeds at dinner. Almond, cheese and pistachio in between and lots of water. Is this considered Keto diet? My throat hurts right now. Yun pa lang naman and this craving for sweets yesterday which ended up me eating an icecream and cookies.

I think you're not eating enough. Egg for breakfast for example is not enough.  Every meal should have fat, protein, and carbs.  Also, oatmeal  is not keto. 

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Dun ako nalungkot, na bawal ang oats. 

[zee87]

Oh... di pala sya kasama sa keto. hmmm, interested ako sa keto na to. kasi pwede kumain ng meat.   Ano ba usual nyong food mga sis. and gano kadaming serving usually?  I lost 3 kilos for 5 days na 2 eggs at oatmeal lang kinakain ko with nuts in between. Kaya lang nung weekend napakain ako ng sweets dahil sa birthday na napuntahan ko. I started doing it again on Monday pero parang wala na nababawas... Tapos kanina pa paggising ko parang nanghihina ako na di ko maintindihan. I ate 5 chocolate chip cookies!!! kaloka!

I've been doing this loosely for the past 3 months and lost 20 lbs.  On and off kasi hindi kaya ng powers ko mag-prep for recipes na purely keto.  Yung tipong gagawa ka pa ng homemade mayo etc.  Kulang ang time ko and minsan napapamahal din sa grocery.  But I follow the core principle which is high fat, moderate protein and low carb-sugar. 

I would argue though that if you can keep your carb consumption below 20 grams a day, na kasama na sa 20 grams yung oatmeal, keri pa din.  Di ko nga lang alam kung anong serving size ng oatmeal ang makakain mo to keep it below 20 grams    Pero hindi kelangan totally eliminate ang carbs and sugar.  Kelangan lang i-restrict.   

Also, kelangan mangibabaw ang fat sa tatlong macros.  Pag dinamihan mo masyado ang protein, yun pa din ang unang go-to ng katawan natin for fuel, so hindi ma-bu-burn ang excess fat.  What you want to happen is for your body to utilize your fat as fuel. 

zee87 - My staples are salmon, tuna, eggs, bacon, pesto, feta cheese and packed leafy green veggies.  Hindi na ko masyadong nag-broccoli and cauli kasi kelangan pang i-steam.  Gusto ko yung gulay na ready to eat na.  May days na kumakain din ako ng Spam.  Yes, spam!  Kasi low carb and sugar pag chineck mo ang nutrition nito.  I suggest basahin nyo ang labels ng mga store-bought items.  I have a go-to salad dressing, Newman's Own Caesar vinaigrette.  Akala ko nung una hindi pwede, pero when I checked the label eh pasok pala ang macros.  Serving size ko usually is the palm of my hand.  And with keto kasi, totoo na you feel fuller longer because of the high fat content.

Sinabay ko din pala ang Intermittent Fasting dito.  I do 18/6.  I have coffee at work and lots of water (I try to hit a gallon a day), a handful of nuts pag nagutom within working hours, then pag-uwi saka ako kakain ng meal ko for the day.  Yung ibang kaibigan ko sinasabi bad daw for me na hindi kumain sa trabaho, pero this is what works for me eh.  Never ako nahilo.  Lalo pa nga akong naging focused and alert while at work and hindi na ako nagkakaron ng after-lunch slump. 

I also tried ordering from KetogenicPH, yung meal delivery service.  Aside from medyo pricey for me, nadadamihan ako sa servings nila (kaya siguro mahal).  Hindi ko kelangan kumain ng ganun kadami daily.  I've read in some forums na may mga taong hindi nag-lo-lose on keto kasi ang lakas pa din nila kumain.  Malaking factor talga ang portion control sa pagpapapayat.

[zee87]

^Wow Thank you so much sis... Di ko magets yang macro na yan. hehe! Ang hirap magcompute. (ang tamad ko...lol)  ill start buying those staples you mention para di lang puro egg kinakain ko. lol. san mo nilalagay ang pesto?

And example naman please ng usual breakfast, lunch and dinner mo.

Di ako makatubig before. Niloloko nga ako na para daw akong manok uminum ng tubig. lol. Pero simula ng magdiet ako, lakas ko na magtubig.

Last question: nag eexcercise ka ba? gym? for 2 weeks na nag diet ako, 1 time pa lang ako nacardio. lol!

[drag0nfly]

^Sis, macros are fat, protein and carbs   Basically what you need to function, yun lang yun hehe.  Ang ginawa ko nung una was follow recipes from keto blogs.  Then eventually natuto na din ako maglaro-laro ng macros.  Try mo ang www.dietdoctor.com for yummy recipes.

Sample meal plan ko :

B:  Black coffee with stevia and a bit of cream
L:  A handful of unsalted nuts
D: Salmon/chicken (baked in olive oil, onting butter on top, squeeze of lemon, garlic, salt and pepper pag ready to eat na), leafy greens.  Dito ko din ginagamit pesto.  Put a little on top of the protein.

Kung mahilig ka sa eggs, experiment ka din para di lang plain fried or boiled.  One of my favorite recipes for eggs --  https://www.ruled.me/keto-bacon-and-eggs

Yes, sis, I work out at home.  HIIT videos na tig-30 minutes.  Akala ko dati kelangan kong pakamatay kaka-work out to lose weight.  Mas importante pala talaga that you fix your food intake/diet more than anything else.

[ambitious]

Nagkasakit ako, and yung mga lab test ko one of them is mataas ang ketone bodies which mean nagwork na nga yung diet sa akin kahit na hindi ko na masyado sinusunod ang reco macros as long as low carb/sugar, high protein with olive oil and butter.

Right now nagdidiarhea pa din ako at uhaw na uhaw di ko alam bakit ako nagdiarea ako, sa smoothies kaya na compose of spinach, avocado, and stevia? Naka - IF din pala ako 8 pm till 11 am.

[drag0nfly]

^Sorry to hear that, sis.  Pa-checkup ka sa doctor to be safe.

Hindi din ako super strict sa high fat-moderate protein ratio ng keto.  Kaya ko nasabi sa taas that I follow it loosely kasi ang effort laging isipin kung mas mataas ba ang percentage ng fat compared sa protein sa kakainin ko.  I think ang pinaka-sustainable strategy sa keto is to restrict sugar and carbs.  I feel na yun din ang major factor sa weight loss ko kasi ang lakas ko sa pasta dati, as in.  Yung isang order ng Chicken Alfredo ng Yellow Cab kaya kong ubusin pag nag-binge ako
