I tried this before but I wasn’t quite ready for it. I failed miserably, very quickly. I am now posting this thread after being able to sustain a deficit since January 1st, believing time is right now.
I ended up gaining very much weight second half of 2018. From about 108 kg to 118.
Purpose of thread is accountability to reach my goal weight of 80 kg. I will be eating Huel as well as solid food; most good (hopefully) but some bad food is ok as long as I stay within my calorie budget.
Height: 185 cm
Weight January 1st: 118 kg
Last Weigh-In February 5: 108.2 kg
I won’t order Huel until things are fair. Once that happens, I absolutely would.
Keto is mainly for weight loss intents, thus temporary. After that, I’ll go back to Huel, or GlycoGenesis (or something else if it looks interesting). I’ve grown to depend on this type of food in my daily life. No going back
While Keto can certainly help to lose weight, I do not think it is necessary. Furthermore, you will add an extra stress point (which can be a motivating factor or a downside) since you will have to move to a “demanding” diet.
If you do not intend to keep this for long, and you are only doing it for weight loss, why not stick to caloric deficit methods (with Huel) ?
I don’t think it’s necessary either. I’ve lost weight in the past using both keto and calorie counting, they both work (for me). And while I am careful starting to ban certain foods (easily backlashes), I think keto would help me eat cleaner. I’ve lost some weight now, usually eating one solid meal a day, problem is that meal tends to be terrible (fast food, frozen tv dinners)… while it doesnt matter much stricly in terms of weight loss, it doesnt make me feel well and it does trigger me (ED) - especially white bread. I guess I am just experimenting to see what makes it as smooth as possible. The biggest advantage to keto as I see it is that cravings completely vanish (largely hunger as well).
Did reduce my salt intake past 2 days (been a little too high) + first cardio in week so this is very likely much water loss. I expect a bump from this, but this did help me boost my motivation still.
@Latestfuels or maybe I went to do my toilet business! LOL
I know, I know
But, it suits me because it’s (almost) 400 calories at the same price as Huel bars. I want to use them as meal replacements. I’d have to eat 1.5-2 Huel bars for that and well, it’s expensive and I’m a student!
