    Thanks for all the great info on this forum. It's very helpful… I started CNS recently and I do not train. I weigh 210 lbs and I am 5ft 5″….. I'm 42 yrs old and I really want to pull myself together and stop being such a fat lump! Yesterday was my first carb nite . The previous 9 days I ate roughly the following each day : 3 egg scramble With butter4/5 cups of coffee with 30g of heavy whipping cream in each cupRoast chicken or steak main meal Minced beef patty with a couple of small mushrooms and topped with cheese Lots of water.I have been strongly in ketosis all this period.....some palpitations but from what I read this can happen on very low carb and isn't an issue...I purchased from very low carb protein powder yesterday which I'm starting to use for breakfast this week made with water n cream......I lost three lbs so far which was a little low I felt but I don't know maybe that's ok??? I didn't weight today as I'm sure it would have temporarily returned!! 😉 Last night was my first carb nite...I had a steak meal with chips and vegetables, onion rings, profiteroles, then some cheesecake. I probably would skip the puddings next time i have a carn nite as I have felt cranky all day and I'm sure it's all the junk in them!!! So part from removing the processed junk next CN do I sound like I'm on track x thanks for the help in advance.

    You may cut back a little on the HWC if progress stalls and you need to eat way more on your CN. You need to raise insuline through 6-8 hours on your CN.

    Don't use protein powder for breakfast. Skip breakfast. Other than that, sounds good 🙂

    I agree with the others. Less HWC, more food during CN and skip breakfast. Good luck!

    You get an insulin response from protein too. Not as high as carbs, but still high enough to take you out of ketosis. So no breakfast is better than a protein based breakfast. Butter in the coffee is better than HWC because of its higher fat content and lower insulin response. Dairy causes quite high insulin responses even though they are "low GI". It tastes nice after mixing it, really nice 🙂

    Good man. Don't worry about the poundage. It will fluctuate. Skip the scale. Think long term. As long as you are looking better and loosing fat and gaining/maintaining strength, you are safe.
