Diet after goal

[rcjordan]

Keto is my favorite -by far- and matches my food preferences and lifestyle but I'm at the point that I need to start thinking about transitioning out.  Mediterranean, DASH, and their hybrid (MIND) are the new hotness now.  MIND looks interesting. What say ye, O Great Hive-mind?

MIND: https://bebrainfit.com/mind-diet-recipes/

Mediterranean diet only works if you earn £35,000 a year and can afford quality food, study suggests

The problems I see going off keto is that [1] anything else looks to be a massive PITA and time-consuming to prepare & [2] I still eat HUGE portions.

Slow carb. Can still eat big

Never heard of it. Will explore. I've been thinking that I'm really going to end up expanding the keto diet by adding some vegetables and shifting away from red meat (THAT's the hard one).

Thanks

>K.I.S.S.

As a true-believer in the earlier, sous-vide, version of RC's Replicator, you may be the only one here who 'gets it' when it comes to this aspect. I just can't go back to the slave-to-food-prep world, it's guaranteed to fail.

Minimize the area under the curve.

[rcjordan]

Curve? What curve? Semi-seriously, I've been flat-lining for years.

Looking at the slow-carb, that's what I've already been doing. Note that 2 of the rules are [1] No white stuff & [2] No fruit, which I've mentioned before.  So, I'll be expanding that --probably with an eye to the MIND diet and continuing to keep the curve as flat as possible.

>adding some vegetables and shifting away from red meat (THAT's the hard one).

I was informed this week that I need to do this hard and heavy...like 1 meal per day that I get red meat/whatever I want.

If I don't make it, it was nice knowing y'all.

After the big loss eating right above keto works well for me.  In practicality I eat less fat and more fruit and veggies.  Its simply meat + lots of non-starchy veggies and a little fruit and occasional nuts.

You could go too much with  fruit --particularly tropical ones which tend to have more sugar.  Nuts are easy to overdo too, so some is good, but too much can be bad if you are trying to maintain.

I started with slow carb (lots of beans and lentils, then went hard keto.  Both worked well for dropping weight.  How I am eating now seems to give me a good balance for controlling my fat while attempting to gain muscle.

>fruit

Strawberries and, to a lesser degree, blueberries can be added with the least negative impact on my diet. I love 'em, though, and they kick off a craving for more. No grapes.

Spinach, brussel spouts, green beans, & broccoli are easy to add. In normal serving sizes, they don't add anything measurable to my weight.

>nuts

Almonds, in moderation, are about all I can do. Walnuts, *maybe*, but I love them, too, so I over-do.

>lentils

Black bean seem to do ok. I'll try up-ing them.

Cucumbers, celery, dill pickles, olives, & cauliflower --I can eat these in almost unlimited quantities with no harm.

Keto works for maintenance, just need to adjust your macros:

Work on getting buff and exercise in a fasted state.

No calendars please.

I need to go through those 4hourbody diet sites and highlight some of the things he's mentioned. Several of them are oddball-ish things that I've also observed and sorta-kinda followed in my own diet plan.

EX: "Pick a breakfast and stick with it."

Gimp, tell your gal that fasting does work for Louise. We weren't really aware of it until your visit.

[Rumbas]

I'm toying around with fasting as well and pretty determined to do a 72 hour fast soon. Just need to remove any disctractions first as I have no spine. Eg. need to do over a weekend with no visits, company or things to do.
