OT: Summer Fitness Thread

[Jabroni]

Morning is bullet proof coffee and then a packet of KetoOS once arriving at the office.
Usually have about 18 oz of water between 8 - 11:30
11:30 head to the gym
For lunch I will usually grab a salad or bring leftovers from whatever Keto meal the wife and I made the night before.
Second packet of KetoOS around 2:30 pm
Another 18 oz of water between lunch and end of the day
Usually have some ranch/buffalo chicken/edamame hummus when I get home before dinner
Dinner is any number of things - burgers, fajitas (there are good low carb wraps), grilled chicken, meatballs, cauliflower casserole, etc.

Rinse and repeat. Some weeks I will snag some Boars head Ham and Salami along with Jalapeno Havarti and have that in a low carb wrap with mayo, mustard for lunch.

If you haven't yet tried it, the Boars Head Virginia ham is excellent.

I have. I love it. Their Salsalito is also delicious. Ever roast chicken is fantastic as well.

Bullet proof coffee?
Packets of KetoOS?
Processed meats?

If I drink lots of of water though. Probably less than you though.

Im still not seeing the difference between Keto and Atkins diet my friend?

Can I eat eggs and bacon every single ****ing morning though...?! With cheese?

 

[Kupo]

I LOVE boats head Cracked Pepper Turkey though!

As well as Boars Head Honey Maple Turkey.

Those are my go-to’s with cold cuts. I still try and lean towards grilled chicken or tuna over those options though.

Atkins is phase based while keto is really a lifestyle change.

Bullet proof coffee is a keto friendly brand. Don’t know what keto OS is.

You could have eggs and bacon every morning.

Bulletproof coffee is coffee with cream and butter.

KetoOS is a supplement I take to help boost ketones in my body. I would not recommend buying it unless you are serious about doing this as it can be VERY pricey. A 30 day supply for the wife and I was $425. When its just me, I can get away with spending $120 every 30 days because I don't mind the flavors that come in the large tub (much less expensive). My wife being as picky as she is had to have the crazy flavors and they are $130 for 20 packets.

Nothing wrong with some Boars Head meats. Some of their producs are organic, antibiotic free and GMO free.

I wasn't the one who said there was a major difference, IIRC. Atkins is a bit more restrictive in what you can eat early on (no nuts in phase 1 and such).

You can eat eggs and bacon every single morning. But, if you have a thing against processed meats, you would want to stay away from bacon as they are usually loaded with nitrates. I usually do scrambled eggs with cheese on Saturday and on Sunday I make pound of bacon on along with eggs for the wife and I.

Thanks guys! @Gardner McKay & @Go Away Staal

I don't know if the diet is right for me, but the more I hear about it, the more interesting it sounds.

You guys should include more vegetables, and drop some of the meat. Also be careful with eggs, bad cholesterol. Low fat dairy products are good, I drink plenty of milk. The high quality protein is excellent when building muscles.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nothing wrong with meat at all depending on what the rest of your diet looks like.

As with everything else, eat processed meats in moderation.

I eat like no vegetables it’s the worst thing I do.. I just can’t find one I like enough to make myself eat. I can force broccoli and asparagus but when push comes to shove it ends up just going bad in my fridge before I finish it all

Try pea shoots sauteed with garlic.

This.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Best Salad dressing i discovered recently. Olive Oil and Fresh Lemon Juice with salt and pepper.....put that on top of a Mixed Greens Salad with Avocado and Grilled Chicken.....amazing.

I don’t think I’ve even seen pea shoots at my local grocery store

 

[Jabroni]

How about string beans in olive oil, salt and garlic?

 

[will1066]

Nutritous Pea Shoots

It's a mostly Asian cuisine, so might try an Asian market.

In the past 3 weeks I've cut almost all carbs and sugar. The results have been more in clothes than the scale. I've only "lost" 7 lbs because I've been eating a ton of protein and lifting more. Everything fits better even with the modest weight loss. Was in FL for a week and kept it keto friendly. Best dinner on the road was steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas with no rice or tortilla. Drank plenty of makers and coke zero.

Funny you mentioned it. I typically gain some weight toward winter when it’s the busiest for me at work and I do stress eating. So I’ve been doing the same in the last month or two but I also intensified my cardio. I also lost just between 7-10 pounds but I feel much better which it’s all about. I’m 5’10” and now weight about 170 lb that I consider within my norm even though another 5-8 lb loss would not hurt.

These are the changes that matter.

f*** the scale.

 

[will1066]

**** the scale.

Yeah. I resumed working out in April. In four months, I maybe gained 5 pounds. But I have noticeably gotten bigger pecs and traps, much bigger arms, and a two-pack that's borderlining on four. Quads are bigger too.

Processed low fat dairy products are absolutely terrible for you. Eggs giving you bad cholesterol is unproven. Typically it's what you pair the eggs with. You'd really have to eat a lot of eggs through-out the day for it to be bad for your health.

Looks very appealing! What’s in the crust?

Looks very appealing! What’s in the crust?

2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/3 cup shredded parm
3 eggs
1/4 cup or so (not sure) of psyllium husk powder

Beat the eggs, add in the psyllium husk, and mix well. Then the rest of the ingredients. Put on parchment paper on baking pan and bake at 350 or so until brown.
