Nah, I don't keep up with anything. Just keep portions normal. Just make sure carbs are below 20-25 a day. Lunch tomorrow is already packed for work. Baby spinach and mushrooms, 6 oz of salmon topped with mayo, dill, and parmesan cheese.

My wife follows a similar one called Code Red by a former women boxer Christy Nickel.
She has done great, loosing quite a bit of weight and trimming down so I started a "not exact"
version of my own and while the weight loss isn't as dramatic (10 lbs since Jan 1) I already
feel a great deal better and get around much better. Main difference is putting as much emphasis
on the amount of water you drink and getting the sleep you need. Like said, I'm not a full blown
follower but I might have to come around if I want to keep making progress.

And oh yeah, I MISS CAKE, COOKIES AND PASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been on the diet three years now. Ramblings of mine in no particular order....

Alcohol - stick with lo-carb booze only. Vodka and tequila are OK on occasion. A skinny margarita made with fresh lime juice, no triple sec, and a dash of stevia is drinkable.

Bullet-proof coffee. I make a version with a slug of heavy whipping cream, a dash of MCT oil, and a dropper of cinnamon. (I buy the liquid from Whole Foods, works better than the powder)

Don't overdue the fat. I started it about three years ago and my cholesterol went thru the roof. I cut way back on the pork and it stabilized. I had to give up pork rinds and switch to turkey bacon (that was hard to do.) I also switched to avocado oil. It has a higher cooking temp so I use less. I also think it tastes better than olive oil or some of the other combinations.

Ditch the diet soda altogether. I found that it just made me crave sweets and want to cheat. Also the stuff is really bad for you. Go to one of the more natural sugars. I like monk-fruit based sugars.

Be really careful with the protein drinks. Many of them are full of sugar and calories. Unless they say they are specifically for Keto (like Myoplex or Pruvit) don't drink em.

Exercise is your friend and savior. The only way to lose weight is by MALNUTRITION. You must consume less calories in a day than you burn PERIOD. No diet in the world will get you around this fact. Want to eat more? Want to cheat on occasion? Exercise, Exercise, Exercise.

Take your vitamins. This diet, plus your gastric bypass, will deplete you of certain vitamins and minerals. This will screw you up. Get regular blood tests, find a doc that has a GOOD nutritionist to help you. (Docs don't know this stuff). Things you will definitely need to take - Multivitamin, iron, vitamin C, B, Biotin, and collagen. (you will need this for your joints- old age sucks)

Buzz - that is great! Keep it up.

so, like right now, I'm still hungry after a couple picnic ribs I grilled last night and some asparagus.

what do ya'll snack on? everything has so many calories

agree with all above !!!

I've been putting CMT oil in my coffee , it tastes great, kind of nutty but it upsets my tender tummy. I should probably cut down on the amount and spreading it out through the day

Got a nice ripe avocado waiting for lunch
