Forums General Chit-Chat Keto Diet - Let's do this!

Admin — He/Him Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/10/16 23:55:18 )
So for the past 4 years I've been working on myself physically.

I found that I do enjoy exercise and tried different types of workouts.
Starting with running I slowly moved into weights. Then I started working at a fitness center that opened my eyes to the wonders of workout classes. It was definitely motivational to workout with a group of individuals. Recently I've been into cycling as I've moved and my buildings new gym has a a fancy bike that you can join live classes going on in NYC!

Okay, blah blah, after all of that, I find myself 60+ lbs shed after I hit 300lbs my freshman year of college and FREAKED OUT!

I'm starting a new journey, the Keto Diet! Long story short, it's a low-carb diet. I'm super excited for this journey and just finished grocery shopping.

Tonight's dinner is going to be Keto Cauliflower Cheese Casserole!
It's currently in the oven, I shall share my masterpiece when it's done? ^_^

Cauliflower is an amazing food item. You can do so many things with it. Although I love it just plained steamed too.

Good luck on your journey! It sounds like you're doing great so far!

@Ixora: Only 10 more minutes! ^_^

@Luffer Nutter: I think I'll be documenting all the recipes I pull off. In no way am I a cook, already melted my finger off with boiling water. xD
I'd be happy anywhere between 200-220 lbs. I'm currently 234 lbs and 6'1'. ^^

@Hachi: It really is! One of my favorite veggies. :)
And thank you!

Thank you. :)

@Fozzy: 40 minutes is a long time
I've tried making cauliflower cheese in the oven but the cauliflower was cooked before putting it in so the oven was just to melt the cheese.
You're welcome :)

All that dairy @_@ I'm not lactose but daaaamn. All I can think is what kind of poops does this diet give you? XDD

I've had some friends do it, one of them loved it and the rest I think didn't stick to it for very long, not cos it isn't effective but because they're weak o_o
