I had some far-away serious family issues to deal with, so that took me off track (and offline) for a while. So I confess I had a bit of a "diet vacation" that included tacos, chicken tortillas, cervezas, and tequilla, just to give you a hint about where I went... So I did go up a little bit when I went out of keto (just a couple pounds), but the good news is that as soon as I got back home and back on track with my diet, my weight just dropped off again to my lowest point in over 20 years. Today my diet is really a bit more "customized", "low carb", "moderate fat" keto, consisting of around 100-120g lean protein / day, lots of nutrient-rich vegetables, and no "fillers" (potatoes, rice, wheat, corn, flour). Although I'm no longer sticking "strictly" to the official "Ideal Protein" protocol, I still use their products sometimes because they're good and satisfy some "treat" impulse cravings I still have. I'd still readily vouch ( without any endorsement) that Ideal Protein is the fastest, safest, most effective weight loss I've ever, ever, heard about, or experienced, with many friends doing it too now with success. I lost about 70 pounds in 5 months, so I highly recommend it to anyone, especially if they would like some good formal guidance in learning the eating habits required to lose weight and permanently keep it off. I've now met my official goal, but I'm still going to continue to lose a bit more (don't know how much, just depends more on how I feel fitness wise now),
So three "lessons" I'd like to leave people with: 1) Never give up. 2) If you do give in - for whatever reason - get right back on track as soon as you can. 3) Don't acquiesce to the yoyo diet story/myth. Look at it this way instead - if you've had ANY sustained success, with ANY diet, you now have another weapon in your arsenal to combat this fat epidemic that we are ALL experiencing. The journey is to find out what works for you and then do it until you succeed.
Good luck with your journey!

Not a great two weeks. Too many diet "modifications" one week, not enough sleep or water the next week. Time to tighten things up again.

On track, considering a further 10 lb reduction to my goal weight, as I assess body fat percentage, etc.

Guess I'm still a big loser! ;-) I'm feeling much better in health and general day to day function than I have in a long time (about 10 years), all in less than four months. So I'm definitely a "Keto" and variants fan, and I consider the Ideal Protein approach to be a complete success. It teaches what to eat in a simple and effective way, and also helps teach portion control, without ever being excessively hungry (the mild "guess it's time to eat" hunger is fine and healthy - excessive hunger is not ok). The coaching and accountability are worth the premium, although the awesome prepackaged food costs a bit which may not be great for those on strict budgets. But if you can afford it, it's worth the health and life benefits.
The reason I'm listing my diet following as "Reasonably Well" now is that I regularly break from the strict protocol with some "Keto" compliant modifications, such as full 3 egg omelet this morning (slightly larger serving) instead of the portion controlled packet, substitution of last night's supper (fish and broccolli) for the lunch meal packet, standard whey protein shake instead of a "Restricted" snack, allowing some moderate dairy, such as small portions of feta, gouda or parmesan on salads etc, oh and finally having a nice hard liquor drink mixed with 0 carb mix as a celebration of losing 50lbs (alcohol is strictly forbidden on Ideal Protein Phase 1, due to additional liver/kidney strain).
Still I encourage everyone DO NOT do a major carb violation (that will derail your week). Also if you have trouble with portion control or impulse eating, go back to the strict protocol 100%, and you will get back on track, which will practically guarantee 100% success. If you follow it, it works, that's that.
Happy losing!
Pete

Last week I was only one pound down, but I was sick with a cough and cold that left me with four lousy nights sleep in a row. This week I was another four pounds down, so it's back to that pretty rapid weight loss. I'm now quite sure I will continue to BELOW 220, but I'm not so sure ( or particularly concerned ) about specific number goals anymore. I'm just going to keep on going until I feel reasonably fit and trim again.
