Um. First of all, protein is good for not losing lean mass while on a cut, not just gaining more muscle. Secondly, excess protein basically converting to carbs sounds like pseudo-science, sorry. Excess protein only happens at absurd levels, like 4.5 gram per pound of bodyweight.

So we are in agreement! Mostly. Though carbs was the wrong word.

Though almost nothing I have read at any point agrees on your excess protein amount. Not even close to the same stratosphere, though many don't agree on the limit. Most say somewhere around 1-2 grams per kilogram. And a kg is 2.2 lbs.

This article looks like complete bs from a site that wants to sell shit. It has sources, so Ill give it some more research, but Im very skeptical.

As for the limit, yeah theres not too much of a consensus, though my claim is based on studies that experimented with this and only found issues at that level. I can try to find you some, if you want.

Decent run today and my dad and I walked around for hours. Still over where I should be. Mooching off family and shit. The restaurant I went to served portions big enough for three people...ok?

Leftover city

I hoped you counted your calories for the meals.

Excess protein does convert to glucose.

I didnt eat keto Saturday but didn't suffer any ill effects. Not yet back to my lowest weight since starting. I had a set back and ate like crap for 2 weeks. But I'm on my way there. I expect by Monday.

Sure, I am open to reading more.

I don't think Strife is on board with calorie counting.
---

I might start a keto diet to see what all the fuss is about.
---

186-187 after getting spoiled for a couple days of vacation. Considering how much I ate and drank for free (parents visited), that's a win. Now I gotta start losing again.
---

243 weigh in today, but trust me when I say that is going to go up in a day or so. Completely obliterated my calorie count yesterday. Probably ended up close to, if not, positive calories yesterday in comparison to the 1000 calorie deficit goal.
---

186; but a nice little veg day. I shopped before my family visited, so I can snack a lot to keep the calories down.
---

Ate carbs yesterday(Idk why) so I'm just eating breakfast/lunch now. Down 1 more pound. 21 total.

What is your goal weight? Sorry if you already answered that and I forgot.
---

I got up to 190 and I wasnt ok with that. Currently 169 and I got to 167(wedding weight) but then I had a set back and ate way too much and got back on carbs as well. Pretty sure I could maintain if I would stick to the calories but I really struggle with cravings when I'm eating carbs. I'm not really sure I have a goal weight per se. If I can maintain around 170 I'm pretty ok with that. But if I would start working out and trying to really be "fit" I think the goal is 150-155.
---

Also for the last two weeks I'd say I've been doing a lazy low carb and not strict keto. Still way better energy and weight loss but I'm hoping I can recommit to full keto again soon.
---

I have had zero motivation the last 3 days and soared past my goal deficit for calories all 3 days.
---

if it makes anyone feel better
I had an icecream and a sprite today

but it was hot!
---

185, so back to "normal" I guess. Nowhere to go but back down.
---

I went overboard. I think I need to cut out alcohol all together.

The day after I drank I weighed 243. It sapped all my hydration. That is why I said I knew I would go back up.

Alcohol is a lot of carbs. How are you achieving keto if drinking? Lowest carb beer is Michelob ultra and that is still like 2.5 carbs or something.
---

186...stupid ramen and gelato meal.
---

These are since April 1st.

Goal is 1000 calorie deficit according to S Health (though I think I burn more daily based on BMR and Harris than it predicts).

Anyways.

April 1st +1074 (Easter)
April 2nd -252
April 3rd +649
4th -125
5th -24
6th +19
7th -130
8th -346
9th -134
10th +47
11th +96
12th +538
13th -188
14th -96
15th -22
16th -455
17th +125
18th +62
19th +1156 (went drinking this day) start of my loss of motivation
20th +579
21st +624
22nd +126
23rd -304

This puts me at 3019 over my goal of a 1000 calorie deficit per day for the last 23 days.

Putting me at a 19,981 calorie deficit over the past 23 days.
---

Planning a run today in good weather. I have a good feeling about today.
---

I don't always drink beer but if I do it's 1. I count those carbs. I try to stay under 50 net carbs. 30 is better. I have done It while including a beer here and there. But liquor doesnt have carbs so I do mixed drinks with no carb mixers.
---

The free donuts at my one job really effed me over starting Saturday. I had 1 and could not stop eating them. Today, I won't be there so I'm trying to detox from the sugar. Went to the store salad bar on my teaching break and filled a box with meat and cheese. Gotta stay full so I don't want sugar. Gonna get a burrito bowl later when I get off work.
---

KPH, konjac root really works for making you feel full as hell. It's straight fiber. So, no real carbs or anything to worry about or calories.
---

When I bought this, it had a coupon for a few dollars off.

But, it accomplishes making you not want to eat and feeling full, if you need the assistance in feeling full to avoid sugar.

Full isn't really what I meant I think satiated is the right word. I need to eat something else as satisfying as a donut. So meat and cheese is a pretty good sub cuz it's really tasty. I can make keto donuts (and have) but baking totally wrecks my kitchen and I haven't really had time the last two weeks.
---

I got ya. Still recommend the product if looking for a fiber supplement!
---

Haha you need one. I really hope you poop more some day. I poop every day. And if I run out of time to poop before work I just have a terrible day.

Fiber intake doesn't seem to really affect my amount of going poopie actually. It makes me feel bloated more than anything really.

Today's challenge is not buying food or drink during Infinity War. If I do, it'll have to be smart.

Fuck that. If you are going to the movies, get popcorn. It is part of the movie going experience. And it's infinity war. It's like a major event.

Maybe just get a diet drink or water if u get a drink tho.
---

I ate a chicken breast with Cajun spices and some toppings. Was still hungry. Ate a string cheese and two Atkins caramel squares. Still hungry. Ate 3 pepperoni. I am still not satisfied.
---

I am drinking tonight. Calorie goal destroyed today ofc.
---

Easy idea: go out to a restaurant before the movie.
---

Not a great idea. They gave me too much food.
---

Bump
---

Another day
---

Still 186...
---

I love summer weather. I seem to be sweating off way more water weight. I hope it stays 80 for months. I didn't get a spring.

All my shopping's done. Now for a relaxing day trying to avoid munching on too much food.
---

I think I am done caring. I lost over 30 lbs and one person has asked me if I gained weight and I swear my clothes are feeling tighter.

Zero care right now.
---

30 lbs is awesome. Don't stop.
---

Corrik, I'm actually really proud of you for losing 30.

Now, the goal is to lose fat and not just weight - that's what will make you look better. Remember, the weight may be all calorie counting, but the look is more than that.
---

I have a new scale coming in. Mine recently become unreliable because a anti-slide thing came off in areas. I'll see what that says.
---

See my scale has me at 246.4 right now. Which is just under 35 lbs down and it also isn't a morning proper weigh (which generally would be lower). I don't trust my scale at all now.
---

Weight has stayed stable despite a bit of junk food today. A little workout might help even more. It's also hot in my apartment, so I'm ready to sweat.
---

Yep. 45 minute ab workout done. I am happy.
