SecondSlip Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Since Covid19 is making me and everyone else spend much more time at home nowadays, I can control what meals I cook and eat for myself more often! I’m wanting to start keto and have done some research as well. It seems a lot of things that I currently eat are forbidden in keto. For example, I eat Do Waqt Ki Roti (2 for breakfast & 3 for dinner) with sabji, dal, dahi and of course, water! Every 10 days or so, I also eat a few pizza slices and the odd sandwich from Subway. While majority of these foods are healthy and low calorie, they contain a lot of carbohydrates. The whole point of keto is to keep carbohydrates to a bare minimum. So, I’m asking if any of you have tried the keto diet. How long have you done it for and what were your results while doing it? Also, what are some staple foods (everyday food) you ate while on keto? Which staple foods do you recommend for me to replace my roti and dahi with? Share your details!
Gollum Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Tried it for a couple of weeks or so but couldn't continue because of lack of food options for veg, difficult to sustain this diet for long, it even played havoc with my digestion process. I would advise you to try intermittent fasting (IF), will give the same results as keto. 8 hours long window where you can eat, remaining 16 hours only plain water permitted. That when combined with workout schedule will do wonders. Google kar le, a few variations in IF so choose the one that best suits you, I chose 16/8. First few days you will have cravings but after that very smooth.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 @SecondSlip yes did that whole year last year on n off 1st time - 3 months (i realised its not good to do in long term atleast for me) after that kept it till 45 -50 days max U can have Dahi but hung curd I loved cheese , bhindi, paneer, chicken and so keto wasnt difficult. Only tough part was not eating bread n rice for me Ill recommend dont even have onion, tomato, mushroom....1st week Keep ur macros in count, dont overeat U can make rotis from coconut or almond flour but ill suggest forget it for a while n if ur doing it do it to loose weight n eat whats in diet.
