RE: Man Diet: week 4

in #diet7 years ago (edited)

Hey there! Looks good! Is your "man diet" a ketogenic diet? I ask because the meal you posted just now looks like it might be more or less keto-friendly, depending on how you made the gravy.

I follow a ketogenic diet and I have lost over 50 lbs and put my type 2 diabetes in remission, simply by cutting out almost all carbs and using fat as my main fuel source.

Sort:  

So it more or less follows keto principles - high fat and protein, little no no carbs. I dont want to call it a keto diet because Im not a dietitian and I don't want to misname it. That all being said, that gravy is most certanly not within my diet parameters, I mean the butter and steak drippings, sure, thats fine.... But the spoonfull of flour? 😱

But it was freaking delicious so screw it.

I think beyond the changing macronutrient ratios, the added self control to not eat all the free snacks around the office and just being more mindful generally of my food choices.
