Keto Lifestyle in Thailand: What do YOU eat?

[THAIPHUKET]

I´m doing a fair amount of cycling. Are the electrolytes such as Sponsor, efficient? Powder might be better but less efficient.

How much is needed?

[saraht1]

Bacon, avocado and eggs is pretty much all I have in my cupboard. Haha

[THAIPHUKET]

And what has been the effect so far, physically and mood-wise? How about negative effects?

For me: mentally, more energy. Physically, lost more weight than I wanted to lose and need to stuff down some extra calories every day. Overall, I will not know how effective it has been in limited plaque build up in my arteries until September.

[THAIPHUKET]

Sounds great, side effects? I had digestion problems rather bad.

And foul mouth. That was 10 years ago when I had discovered Keto. What are you doing to counterbalance any side -effects you may have?

[FracturedRabbit]

Bad breath in the first few weeks, plus leg cramps in the morning; all gone now. System takes time to adapt beyond the two week keto flu period.

Do you or anyone else report on changes in blood tests? For example Keto diet supposedly has a positive impact on the cholesterol level?

I suggest you check out http://perfecthealthdiet.com/ The author is a scientist and excellent researcher. His diet is inherently fairly keto: Mostly veggies, healthy fat, some meat, fish, egg, etc. But the difference is that he gives very good evidence that some amount of "safe" carbs are ok, and in fact very beneficial long term. He always backs up his advice with good reasons and evidence.

Yes Dr Mercola  suggests that eliminating carbs entirely can have serious and long term health implications.

There are no essential nutrients in carbs, so not sure what those implications might be; but including plenty of vegetables in a low carb diet will always introduce some carbs.

[juice777]

Can anyone list some cheap and easy meals for a low carb Diet?

I've been looking on line but they are always foods I can't get in Thailand or don't want to pay through the nose for.

If you can read Thai, or have access to someone who can, then there is a Facebook group called Thai Keto Friend which is full of tips on what is suitable for a low carb diet in Thailand.

Will Google translate help?

There are two Facebook groups, Thai keto pal, and Thai keto friends, they are connected in some way. My wife is involved with both.

[THAIPHUKET]

I got interested in Intermittent Fasting in addition to Keto. It is always helpful to cross check against professionally done research. You may find this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3680567/ of interest

[THAIPHUKET]

Please name a meal that you don't get tired off, ie. like to have often.

 

I'm not the multi taster- type. Like to keep it simple.

[INV]

Sorry guys I missed also  the ops headline, what do you eat hehe.

My favorite is my beef burger, cheese, bacon, sallad tomato can eat that

every day if I have to hehe,. But else its just normal pork, chicken, sallad a lot, 

but its a bit boring but I have crappy kitchen so cant do all I want or

any owen things but looking for new house with a proper kitchen, love to cook.

I start every morning with a omelette with bacon, onion, eggs, tomato,1 glass of

apple cider vinager, damn I hate that drink, even if I add lot of lemon still taste less then good haha

but I can live with it if it make me handsome (still waiting for that part hehe)

But I need find more option as I getting bored about food.The intermitten fast part is the easy part for me.

Eat around 12-13, then 4 hours later next meal and then Iam good.

and thanks for the links

Bravo, great discipline. Guess what keeps me to get really deep into it is the longing for something to chew. Nuts are heavy in the stomach.

BTW I detected almost too late how tasty Canadian Bacon is if it is not  crispy and thereby dry

Edited May 28, 2018 by THAIPHUKET

[INV]

yeah I miss the small eating and chewing stuff, always something tasty to put in my mouth

every evening, well all day as well haha, Cant belive how much crap I eat before, just sugar,

sugar and more sugar. Now, nothing and I never felt this good, Its amazing. now next step

is hit the gym and start cardio.

[THAIPHUKET]

I found this very tasty at any occlusion. Light &meets all criteria: lots of fat, basically no carbs.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Harvard edu https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/apple-cider-vinegar-diet-does-it-really-work-2018042513703

If you are trying to lose weight, adding apple cider vinegar to your diet probably won’t do the trick. Of course, you’d never suspect that was the case by the way it’s been trending on Google health searches. But the popularity of diets frequently has little to do with actual evidence.

I take apple cider vinegar with my salad and sometimes with other stuff. There are so many supposed tricks to lose weight but most don't really work or only work if your really obese (then its easy to lose some weight). 

 

I do know of things that do work but as with all things that work they are usually not safe, for instance the sibutramine that killed a few people it works and is safe for many (but not all that is why its pulled). 

 

Right now I am trying yohimbine HCL with my morning cardio.. according to bodybuilders its supposed to work.. but how much.. i mean you never know because its added to an already working diet and exercise plan. Its supposed to activate the last little bit of stubborn fat, getting more bloodflow there so the fat can be mobilized (wont work of course if there is no caloric deficit).

 

I usually resort to tricks to break through a plateau but the more you lose the harder it gets.

I never get bored with a medium size,oven roast,(jacket) potato, brushed with olive oil and salt, combined with 

tuna mayonnaise and a little grated cheese... using light mayonnaise and sparingly.
