    Keto Diet

    I've been on a version of keto a few times over the last year. I have found that cycles work best since, for me at least, going very low carb for extended periods of time ends up halting some progress (which is to be expected when you are doing workouts in a carb deficient state), but mainly because my old man joints don't respond well to low carb for extended periods of time. Props to you for being on it for so long! I think that you could benefit from adding some tasty seafood to your diet while also adding some low carb vegetable options (use this chart to get an idea of good veggies....you already know that most fruits aren't great for keto!), whether in solid form (eh) or juice form (eh!) I always found my best results came from doing moderate carbs one day a week and "heavy" carbs another day. My DEXA came back at just over 12% (do the math on what calipers would tell you ), but to be fair, I was also IM fasting. I felt like the heavy carbs carried over a day or two into beginning of the week workouts (of course the heavy carb day was reserved for Husker game days!) which obviously helped. I'm interested in hearing more of your experiences! To the first bolded part, do you mean that you plateau out at some points with low carb intake? I have been fairly consistent with my diet and exercise this year and have noticed weeks where the scale wouldn't budge, and then weeks where weight seemed to be falling off, even though nothing had really changed diet/exercise wise. Everyone keeps telling me to add fish to my diet. Problem is, I hate seafood. I've tried just about everything. Not for me. I do take Omega 3 supplements though to try and recoup some of the benefits of seafood though. That's how I am. I usually treat myself to a half burrito bowl from Chipotle on Wednesdays. Approximately 3 oz or so of brown rice. Saturdays are cheat days. I try not to go too crazy and usually cease the carb intake by about 3PM on Saturdays. I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while now. I think Keto has been the biggest help though in losing weight the right way. When I first started IF, I lost a ton of weight really quickly, but a lot of it was muscle mass. I lost weight, not fat. FWIW, I started the year at approximately 188 lbs. I'm a 5'11'' male with a fairly athletic build, but 188 was way over what I should be weighing. Pretty much just skinny fat. (Full time job, grad school and internship have gotten me off track from time to time.) Started Keto in late Jan/early Feb. Diet mainly consists of grilled chicken for lunch and egg whites with chili for dinner. Workouts usually consists of lifting weights. Not trying to become Arnold Schwarzenegger, just want to tone up. Don't do much cardio. I like to bike when it's nice out and I'll hop on the treadmill every once in a while. But for the most part workouts are usually 3 or 4 times a week. I weighed myself last week and was 164. My goal is around 155. I try not to weigh myself too often. Last time I cut a bunch of weight I was far more focused on the number on the scale than anything. Trying to "pass the eye test" now. I'm thinking the mid 150's will yield the results that I'm looking for.
  3. Are you out of your freaking mind? Like seriously, you can't be freaking serious. Clearly he isn't serious hahahahah It's not that clear. 50/50 shot he isn't kidding. Didn't he post earlier about Tanner Lee is using some kind of new secret robotics technology to improve his 40 time and his body is rejecting it? Dude is either the ultimate troll, or devastatingly out of his mind.
  4. Cool - then we agree that CNBC is to Fox what Breibart is to ... well, theres nothing like it. Youre more naaive and uninformed than I gave you credit for Bni if you think this is left leaning issue. In fact - Is say your attitude is the exact problem we face and why its so scary. +10000000

  6. If that happens to be the case... then ...
  7. Harbaugh to Rams rumors FWIW http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jim-harbaugh-leaving-michigan-for-the-rams-is-reportedly-a-very-real-possibility/
  8. Was perusing YouTube last night and came across the song "Stand By Me" performed by Incubus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LXqRKMAHus Thought it was a pretty cool cover. It reminded me of "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam and "Teenager in Love" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4447lT5GQOk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nm1s2y2SYU I love it when bands cover songs like this. Anyone know of other oldies songs performed by modern bands/artists?
  9. This is the world we live in. The President Elect makes time for a reality TV show but not Intelligence Briefings. Let's see the gymnastics to defend this one.
  10. Every year on Thanksgiving night I watch The Godfather, and then on Christmas Night I watch Godfather Part II.
  11. Your referring to the pro Tim Tebow correct? I would give my left nut for a QB that completed 67 percent of his passes with a 6/1 touchdown to interception ratio in college. Maybe both nuts if he could run for 6-800 yards a season also. Lol All jokes aside Eichorst went out and got opposite of Pelini went it comes to sideline etiquette and dealing with the media. It's great HCMR is a "good guy" but frankly I don't care. Away from the media and off the TV screen Pelini was a good guy also. 4 maybe 5 years....that's what I give HCMR. Like i said things seems to be trending up with this year. I love the direction recruiting is going and we did meet expectations with the W/L ratio. You would castrate yourself to have Tebow as a Quarterback?
  12. Good lord. It was just good-natured ribbing. The fact so many have to earnestly defend NU's dominance over Iowa is actually a bit embarrassing. Have a laugh and move on. Relax.
  13. Seems reminiscent of the Zadroga Act.
  14. He could announce "I'm cancelling all future elections" and half the country would be down for the cause.
  15. Constantly referencing how good of a guy Riley is seems reminiscent of Tebow. Every pundit always had to say "He's a heckuva guy" before they go in on how terrible of a QB he was. I'm not one way or another yet about Riley. My biggest hope is that he shores up the recruiting to consistent top 15 classes. If he doesn't do that and continues with 9-4 or 10-3 seasons then he can beat feet just like Frank, Bill and Bo.
  16. Then don't watch. Good one. Do you think differently? Has this team or coaching staff shown you something this season that would make you think that this game wouldn't be rough?
  17. Until "He consistently gets top 15 recruiting classes" is on that list, him being a good guy and doing dishes and taking out trash doesn't really rev my engine.
  18. Interesting point. I definitely thought the Wisconsin "No Sit" game was a turning point in the basketball program. Certainly wasn't. Miles should have this thing rolling right now. 5 years with state of the art facilities, a brand new arena, more money and emphasis than ever before, a fan base that is chomping at the bit for success. He's not the dude. Get him out, and pony up for a legitimate big time coach for a change. I'm willing to give Riley more time simply because a football program is so big. It takes time to recruit dozens of players and develop them, install a new offense and a new defense. Not to mention that the situation he walked into was relatively toxic.
  19. Few things, in my opinion. Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine Cutting funding for education Development of an individualistic society Getting rid of policy requiring honest reporting on public matters, combined with a poorly educated populace, combined with a society that values individualistic characteristics that largely seek "affirmation" for their feelings and thoughts and not "information" about whether those thoughts and feelings are accurate or factual... anti-intellectualism is what you get.
  20. 5 years in and it's the same old song and dance. Unless this team somehow puts it together and can make a run for an NCAA bid, Tim needs to go. He's had more resources than any other NU coach, yet the product is still the same.
