I’ve been doing a very low carb ketosis diet for about a week now. and I went from 221->215 (215 Weighed in Yesterday, im 5’10.5-11 allways been a bigger guy, hoping to change that and lose fat around stomach and legs for skinnier fitting jeans). Woke up this morning to assess the damage and see how much I had left, and my weight shot up to 220.
Do weight fluxations get this extreme? I didn’t think so. I ate some chocolate yesterday (im thinking extremely bad idea, won’t do it again) and need some advice, specfically how to kill whatever I just gained back quickly. I’m also not sure if I knocked myself out of ketosis or not, but I feel right stupid!
Thanks for acknowledging my stupidity!

(P.S-Im considering after this ketosis diet (finished when I hit around 200-185) going for a shake for breakfast, protein bar for lunch and chicken/veggies for dinner. Supposedly, it makes you lose weight fast with the addition of anaerobic/aerobic excersize such as cardio and lean weight lifting
(if anyone can advise me on excersizes to do to help burn fat around stomach, lovehandles and arms that would be fantastic) and ill lose alot of weight in a month, a trainer told me this kind of diet works wonders on rapid weight loss and he puts boxers on this to cut weight-not sure if its completely true, but coming from a legitimate source.)) Thanks for your time!
When you first start a very low-carb diet, you lose a lot of weight due to glycogen and water. This weight comes back very rapidly when you add carbs, but it should, as it is not fat. I don’t know enough to comment on your ketosis question, but I think you probably lost at most a pound or two of fat on the first week of your diet and that the rest of the initial loss and all of the more recent gain is not fat.

I would bet money this guy doesn’t even lift weights regularly or at least with enough intensity to promote the idea of “fat loss” that most of us think of. “Lean” weight lifting? Is that like toning? I would guess extreme basics are what is needed.
I want to get down to 185 and bulk up from there. I want to get to 200 pounds or less. its my main priority. As in I want to burn fat and replace it with muscle, not making myself look huge but looking built. Like nice abs, arms, etc. I want to lose this extra pudge I have. Doing it using the ketosis/shake diet I have listed there are my top two researched ways of doing it. Any suggestions are appreciated. And if training is your suggestion, any specific excersize noted would be awesome!

You sound like the last person who needs to be doing a ketosis diet unless losing ALL of any lean body mass you currently have is the goal.

I was tempted to go into one of my usually fruitless basic advice giving tangents, but opted to just point him to where all the low carb info is.
Start lifting some real weight and eating real food (Berardi’s 7 habits) and things will change faster than you can say ‘newbie gains’.
And forget about the 200lbs thing. That is not your goal.[/quote]
before I even started dieting I implemented the seven rules, sort of. I can’t achieve 4-6 meals a day because of school but I eat very healthy. I want to get down to 200 though, lol.

I am a full-time student at Penn State and I know that I can eat 4-8 meals a day, if I want to. Biotest makes some damn good protein bars and powders…check 'em out. I use either a bar or a shake in a particular class, every day. It’s not a big deal.

thats the last thing I want to seem. Im not trying to be ignorant; And I think protein is more for making weight gains also, which I am not doing (at this moment). I feel that protein bars have alot of carbs in then, and if I eat too many, I come out of ketosis. and I dont think the AD or the V-Diet or the T-Dawg diet are meant for teens. But if I stick to a protein shake in the morning, bar in the afternoon for lunch and put in cardio and weight lifting, a trainer I talk to states I will lose weight very easily. which in that case, I may try.
