Overcoming Cravings – Part 3

September 15, 2020 by ChatItUp Leave a Comment

Many find success on keto since once they get rid of the processed carbs they previously lived on and replace those processed foods with real food options that keep them satiated longer, so the constant hunger felt by many dieters and cravings simply vanish.

And while that’s a great happily ever after story, there are still many hopeful ketoers that go into keto hoping their cravings will vanish so they can get the same big results they keep hearing about, but a week or two into following keto, cravings take over and they find themselves head first in a greasy bag filled with burgers and an extra large fry. 

Today in Part 3 we’re going to explore why some people’s cravings vanish after a few days into the plan, while others struggle with keto since the bag of stale chips hidden in the back of your pantry keeps calling your name.

In this episode:

  • Does food addiction play a part in the foods people crave?
  • Why does keto work so well to get rid of some people’s cravings?
  • Are there digestive reasons some people crave one type of food over another? IE, why I always want something salty and crunchy vs. someone else craving something sweet and chewy?
  • Some people say after a while of following keto, they actually start to crave healthier foods like broccoli. Why is this?
  • How can improving digestion help improve cravings?
  • Is a keto plan like carb cycling more helpful or hurtful when it comes to cravings on keto?

Overcoming Cravings – Part 2

Many find success on keto since once they get rid of the processed carbs they previously lived on and replace those processed foods with real food options that keep them satiated longer, so the constant hunger felt by many dieters and cravings simply vanish.

And while that’s a great happily ever after story, there are still many hopeful ketoers that go into keto hoping their cravings will vanish so they can get the same big results they keep hearing about, but a week or two into following keto, cravings take over and they find themselves head first in a greasy bag filled with burgers and an extra large fry. 

Today in Part 2 we’re going to explore why some people’s cravings vanish after a few days into the plan, while others struggle with keto since the bag of stale chips hidden in the back of your pantry keeps calling your name.

In this episode:

  • Keto is a plan that once you commit to it, you have to be committed
  • Your body looks at the overall progress – so it sums up the good choices and the bad choices, and that’s your result on your plan
  • It’s especially important to not cheat on a keto plan since it takes time for your body to learn how to run on fat for fuel
  • You may even gain weight with this pattern since too much fat throughout the week and too many carbs on the weekend can be a recipe for weight gain

Are you fat adapted? Part 2

August 25, 2020 by ChatItUp Leave a Comment

Today we’re going to talk about 7 ways you can tell if you are fat adapted, beyond constantly pricking yourself with a blood ketone meter.

If you don’t want to test for ketosis, there are some things that happen in your body that are signals you are transitioning into a fat adapted state. Some of these signs you can look for include:

#1 – You start peeing a lot more

#2 – Speaking of inflammation coming down, if you have high blood pressure, you’ll also notice your blood pressure start to come down

#3 – You no longer feel hangry, where you HAVE to eat every 2-3 hours

#4 – Along with not feeling hangry, you no longer desperately and constantly crave carbs

#5 – You begin to notice a lot more energy

#6 – You experience increased mental clarity

#7 – You don’t need a snack right before or right after a workout

August 18, 2020 by ChatItUp Leave a Comment

  • How long does it take to become fully fat adapted?
  • What are some of the ways you can tell if you are fat adapted?

Interview with Keto Success Story: Donna – Part 1

August 4, 2020 by ChatItUp Leave a Comment

Are you ready to learn the secrets Keto Decoded member Donna used to lose 2 full pants sizes in only 3 weeks? Stay tuned to this episode of Chat the Fat because we’re breaking down all of the big victories Donna has had since learning how to keto the right way for her big results.

Donna is a 48 year old nurse who resides in South Carolina with her husband and two girls. She began following keto on her own in January of 2019. While she did have some initial success, it was slow going and she continued to struggle with common digestive issues.

 After struggling to lose her first 20 pounds, Donna decided keto was just like all of the other diets she’s tried in the past that wouldn’t work for her. She eventually regained everything she lost. Still, she decided she didn’t want to give up on her health, so Donna continued to research all of her health diagnoses, which included pre-diabetes, hyperthyroidism, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and irritable bowel syndrome.

 In her research, she came across TC’s book Kick Your Fat in the Nuts and finally found many of the answers she’d been searching for. Even though she works in the medical industry, she finally realized the doctors were only masking her symptoms, so she began following the protocols in the book to learn how to quit covering up the symptoms with medications, and get to the root of what caused her health symptoms. And she’s had pretty amazing success.

In episode 68 we talk about:

  • Donna’s 30 year struggle with weight loss and all of the approaches she tried along the way
  • Digestive struggles Donna had that made keto difficult, including constipation and an anabolic imbalance
  • Why Donna previously struggled with keto and what made her new approach different
  • How her family and doctors she worked with didn’t necessarily approve of her lifestyle until they saw her big results
  • Donna’s biggest keto game changer to date that finally made the weight seem like it was just falling off
  • How eating more food helped Donna get better results

How Counting Calories on Keto Can Hurt Progress: Part 2

July 28, 2020 by ChatItUp Leave a Comment

The calorie theory on obesity follows the energy balance equation of Calories In – Calories Out = Body Fat Gained or Lost

This equation is the gold standard when it comes to weight loss plans. Most diet plans on the market, whether you follow Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, SlimFast or another popular mainstream plan, depend on the theory if we cut calories very low, no matter what the macronutrient profile of the foods we eat, weight loss will be achieved.

And for most of these plans, this works! 

But only for a short time. Most people who follow these mainstream plans begin with a gung ho attitude and see the scale fall for the first few weeks, or sometimes even months. 

In this Part 2 of 2 episode we talk about:

  • What about exercising more to hit that calories in vs. calories out equation. How could this hurt progress?
  • Others also say intermittent fasting also works because it’s yet another way to control calories. Is this true?
  • Dr. Fung’s observations on counting calories
  • A lot of people drink “zero” calorie diet products like diet pop or stock up on “keto friendly” processed foods that have been sweetened with low calorie sweeteners to replace sugar that has calories to keep calories low – why is this a bad idea?

In this Part 1 of 2 episode we talk about:

  • Why is under-eating long term a bad idea?
  • A lot of people still count calories while following keto. Is this a good idea?
  • Some call counting macros just another way to count calories. Is macro counting just a new way to control calories? Or what’s the difference?
  • Keep in mind – your macro range is just a range
  • Why do so many keto experts still tell women to under-eat on keto?
