Almost Six Weeks.

[JoeyyMerc 9]

I am almost six weeks in {Dec 26th} Anyways i was wondering if anyone has tried ketosis in the past and if you think it would be a good idea to try it while having the sleeve. Right now I'm pretty much on any solid i have yet to try carbs and have been limiting at the very most 50 a day but normally i get 15-20. My meals consist of meat and cheese mostly then Water i was wondering if i should be doing anything different. I'm 370 now after starting at 414.5. I plan on starting Protein Shakes every morning once they come in i ordered them a couple days ago.

It sounds like you have a good eating plan going there with it being high Protein and low carb. If you can eat almost anything solid, then you might mix up as many different Proteins as possible to keep it interesting. You might also consider having .5 to 1 oz of some kind of low carb vegetable like green Beans or broccoli. At 6 weeks these were hard for me to eat after 2-3 ounces of protein, but it got easier over time, especially after 5 months. shakes are a really good idea, even if it is after your liquids phase. They help you meet protein requirements, are easy to prepare in the morning and taste yummy. What brand and flavor did you get? I happen to like the Syntrax nectar sweets and matrix products. Every morning I look forward to mixing up my shake with gelled chia seeds for a healthy blend of goodness. As for carbs, good job at not eating them yet. You will be more successful without them. The longer you refrain from eating them, the less you want them. Sure, a temptation may come up here and there, especially after 5 or 6 months when your hunger returns, but staying away from carbs for that amount of time will help your natural will power substantially. It will be second nature to just say " no thank you" when the occasion arises. And by that time you will have all your friends and family trained so they offer you sleeve friendly Foods instead of " their foods." There are certainly plenty of healthy alternatives to keep around the house and also to find when you are out and about.
