I'd like to give you more info and I will when I know more, I'm still right in the middle of this ordeal. Something is definitely wrong, actually more like a few things. There may have been some underlying problems that were kicked into overdrive by the keto diet. One of the issues is my iron levels, they're sky high which makes sense with all the red meat I was eating. They're so high that the only way to get them down is to drain my blood.So how about giving us some more info @GRADS
Did alcohol have anything to do with your problems? I know drinking liquor can cause an increase in ketone production. Also, I remember you saying you had been eating a lot of crap before the diet so maybe your nutrient levels were already down. Then you kicked off a diet eating Keto. Did you eat high nutrient fat foods while you were on the diet?
I don't lose weight like some of the pros on here but I can lose 25-30 lbs on Keto with out having any problems. However, while I am on the diet I buy all organic, grass-fed and cage-free food.
I smell a fix. . .Hey guys. I got a new CPU and might have misplaced the spreadsheet and might have to re do it. Give me until the end of the day tomorrow to post the winner from this round and pay out.

Holy fook any of you guys doing keto, I urge you to rethink it. I've seen a few doctors after doing it and every single one says bad, bad, bad. Well today I finally got some proof. My liver levels were rechecked today and they were cut by more than half in a matter of 15 days...that is unheard of. The only thing I've changed is I stopped eating keto friendly, still drinking alcohol.

Dr. Berg is the greatest!!!How about you give us some more info? @GRADS What are we looking at and why are the doctors saying no to Keto? How about you go back on a Healthy version of Keto and stop drinking and let us know what the results are? I am not doubting you but I am sure there is more to the puzzle. I also don't believe Keto is right for everyone but for me it helped cut my Triglycerides in half and took me from a Hemoglobin A1c test of 5.9 to a 5.6 which dropped me from an increased risk for diabetes to consistent with the absence of diabetes. These are last year results where I didn't hold to Keto 100% of the time. So I am expecting that this year the numbers will be even better since I have been staying on Keto most of the time.
Healthy Keto is the key. You won't lose the huge weight numbers we have seen in these weight loss threads but in my opinion it will be a lot healthier weight loss.
I thought you were going to post up your weight and play on the side?this contest is all jacked up this year.
I don't know what to tell you. I got tested again yesterday and now I am well within the normal range. But quite frankly my liver is the least of my problems now.
Good to hear your levels are back to normal. I don't know if you watched the first video but basically what I have seen is that your levels can go out of range if you are not eating enough vegetables in the beginning of the Keto Diet. During my diet, I just try to eliminate sugar not vegetables. However, I try to mostly eat green vegetables because they usually have less sugar. I do eat tomatoes though since they are not that high in carbs and sugar.I don't know what to tell you. I got tested again yesterday and now I am well within the normal range. But quite frankly my liver is the least of my problems now.

This is a great illustration of just how shitty my metabolism is lol. Haven't ate a single carb since Jan 7th, no beer, no artificial sweetners, in ketosis all the time. Lost 8% vs guys losing 16%! Oh well....at least i know i'd survive in the wild without food for a few months
Not tracking calories on this program as we are doing keto, but the portions are small. Tracking protein, fat and carbs. It’s on par with what I’ve lost in the past with counting calories though, I just lose weight slow as hell. 5lb per week in the first month but that has slowed down to 2.5lb per week now. A lot of that initial weight loss is water retention going away though. Feeling good and have lost a shit load of size, just wish it was coming off fasterAre you tracking calories?
Whats a normal day of food look like for you? (sometimes its the little shit thta you don't think about that will ruin a day)
30lbs show you are trying. Keep it up maybe try and shave 500 calories a day.....more water and gum when you are hungry.
Well, I misplaced the spreadsheet so had to redo it.
Sorry for the delay in announcing our 2nd round winner!
Demoman with 17.35% lost takes round 2!! Final weigh in is right around the corner! Hopefully we see a fight to the finish line!!

Probably not, eating right now is pretty frugalDo you think you could stick to the same plan but cut portions by 1/4?

Haven't been in the gym, been working too much. On my feet walking alot, if not we've been doing a few miles in the evening around the neighborhood.Exercising as well? Even just a 1 mile walk everyday. Take you 15 mins and make all the difference.
7 more days gents!!! Who is going to take home the prize?!!!
