Greetings Buddies:
Well, I am having an interesting time exploring this new WOE. I made Paleo "cereal" comprised of chopped pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut. I add a few fresh berries, some almond milk and...it seems like a crunchy cereal full of healthy fat, a few carbs and some protein. This could be an easier pre-workout breakfast for me.
I am realizing I probably need to increase my daily fat percentage, lower my protein slightly, and keep the carbs down between 25-40 net carbs if I want to see real ketogenic results.
I may need to bump my RDI back up 50 calories to accommodate the dense fat calories every day...just another chemistry experiment!
The words of the week: Stick to the plan!
I am dedicated, determined, and diligent.

From what I've read, as long as your protein is less than 30% of your diet, you're good. Don't go too low, because without carbs you'll need protein to prevent yourself from going catabolic and burning off muscle during your workouts; fats wont do that.

I agree with Chad, also from personal experience, I played around with Keto/Paleo- it seemed to work for two weeks- with a good energy burst but I found if I would go too low I would get tired, my mind would be cloudy at work and sometimes I would get nausea. Adding more veggies really helped. I found 50-80g carbs seems to work well for me when I am in the gym everyday
Goodluck!

I am in no way scared of dietary fat, however, 50 calories... you know you're talking 5.5 grams of fat there? Yeah, sometimes fat scares me. :) "You know you're in trouble when the lifters chime in." :D

PS: I love carbs... just as long as they're unrefined (like me).

LOL - chadlius88 and NM - I WANT the lifters to chime in! I am so trying to build more muscle and lose body fat here! The scale is less important than losing inches and feeling good.

Your cereal sounds fantastic. I sometimes get tired of eggs and just have no idea what to eat for breakfast.
