I have lost 16 pounds on Keto since 01/02/18. Been very strict. Have drunk nothing but back coffee and lots water since I started. The only problem is constipation.

Wow, congrats. That’s amazing. Any of the problems the author mentioned happen to you? I’m down 5-6 on this modified/partial approach.

I see they recommend a gallon of water per day. That’s a lot. I’m probably less than half that.

Have you found a successful solution to that Keto problem yet?

"The only problem is constipation. "

Half a jalapeno fried up with your sausage and eggs every morning flushes that problem right down the tube :)

Just FYI, dietary fiber does not count towards carb intake, so you are free to fiber-dose as much as you want. I have found that the “Quest” protein bars work well for that, since they only have 3-4 “net” carbs. Total carb load is close to 20g, but most of that is fiber. The best ratio of fiber and protein is the “cookie dough” flavor.

When I was trying keto, I also made smoothies that consisted of protein powder, spinach, plain whole-fat yogurt, a few chunks of fruit such as pears or berries, and about 1/4 cup of chia seeds. Food like that really helps move things along.
