/ck/ - Food & Cooking

it does seem counter-intuitive, but if he truly cuts out like all his carbs, he will probably lose weight.

Your friend sounds like he's turning his life around. And you go on /ck/ to shit on him. You're a shit friend OP. I hope you get raped with a knife.

>>11174904
Indeed, but he will also probably accelerate his aging process.

prok rinds really aren't that bad for you

but your friend is probably not following his diet properly if he's munching rinds between meals

Hes a big fat ass, and like most big fat asses he hops on whatever new diet trend is popular. He'll never solve the root cause of his fatness, which is just eating too fucking much and not exercising.

He could go vegan, and hed probably eat enough tofu to gain more weight.

my buddy who I thought never would lose weight did it and lost 70 lbs. No exercise.

He's still kinda fat but that ain't nothing to sneeze at.

>>11174940
You're a cunt and I genuinely hope he gets a glimpse of how you really feel about him and you lose a friend over it.

>>11174977
I hope you lose weight

>>11175117
Hey dude I'm down 67lbs in the last 3 months and about 20 more to hit my goal. I'm in better shape than I've ever been my entire adult life and you're still a cunt.

actually protein translates into carbs

keto is a low protein diet which is why you can't get gains on it

>>11175295
Factually wrong.
It's moderate protein. Too high will turn it into glucose anyway, too low and you'll start losing muscle mass and feel like crap. Typically the reccommended protein is about 25% of your calories. Moderate.

Notably I struggle to teach that. I kinda have to force myself to eat it because Its more protein than I was eating before starting keto...

>Typically the reccommended protein is about 25% of your calories. Moderate.
Protein goes by weight, you want 90g to 120g of protein per day. That's because that is how much your body needs, depending on how much you exercise and stuff like that. So, 360 to 480 calories from protein per day.

Gluconeogenesis (conversion of protein to glucose) is inefficient at about 57% conversion, though, so it's not like you're gonna die from eating a bit more, especially if you spread it out across the day. If you're doing OMAD as well and eat more than about 150g of protein then you're probably pushing it.

Also, I think we can all agree that OP is a douchebag.

>>11176472
the average lazy /ck/ poster doesnt need anywhere near 120 grams of protein, only the ones who lift

/fit/ boomers need to gtfo my board already

>>11175198
>my goal.

what's that? 240?

>>11175198
>67lbs in the last 3 months

That is... not good.
If you're losing more than 2lbs a week, you're losing muscle mass instead of body fat.
If you're telling the truth, you're losing 5.5lbs per week.

Go to a doctor.

If he's boogie-tier with a 3500 caloric maintenance, he can literally lose a pound a day and have it be 100% on a fast. I mean, realistically that won't happen and you're still going to lose a ton of muscle, but just saying hypothetically speaking he could be losing only fat. And if you're on a fast you're not eating any protein, leading to muscle wasting to some degree etc etc, but you get my point.

>>11176501
That doesn’t matter. You have to consume a ridiculous amount of protein for conversion to take place. Even for lifters it’s close to 400g. Anyone that claims a decent amount of protein will kick you out of keto is a dumbass

>>11174898
>zero carbs
>keto
pick one. your fat friend is a dumb faggot.

>>11176535
No my goal is 215
>>11176683
I've been following a 1500 calorie per day meal plan combined with a 4on 20off intermittent fasting diet. During the off period each day I have as much water as I can stomach plus 2 cups black coffee. Then during the 4 I can eat I split that time into 3 meals. I eat a meal at 1600, 1800, and 2000. It took several weeks to adjust but now I don't even have to think about it. Oh and I do exercise. I do the cardio p90x DVD every other day and I walk 3 miles daily.

>>11174898
He'll lose weight and then die of kidney failure because keto is a meme.

>Somebody who is too dumb to eat normal food is also dumb enough to think that carbs are evil
Wow

if you're on a fast then you don't get muscle wasting, your growth hormones spike and preserve muscle mass. your liver makes glucose from the glycerol backbone used to store fat. it can't make a whole lot like this, but if youre fasting then nearly every organ in the body is running off ketones anyway, so your body doesn't need much. i once fasted for several months, my blood sugar got down into the low 40's but I had no issues with hypoglycemia.
