    Wow. That's a whole stone. In three weeks? That's pretty good.

    What do you eat? Your wife does it too (iirc). It must be easier to change eating habits together.

    I don't feel like going full-keto. I need roti. I've been eating corn flour and millet flour, and they taste nice. Alhamdulillaah.

      Alhamdulillah. It's been going well. I've pretty much lost all interest in eating these types of foods. Still need to be careful in case down the line I allow myself something 'small' because I ''no longer have any desire for them' as that's the type of thinking (imho) which leads to wasting our efforts and back to square one.

      Best to keep the door fully closed inshaaAllah.

      Alhamdulillah, it's really good to have us brothers and sisters making these efforts to improve.

      Jazaa'akumullah khair everyone taking part and and helping keep this going. Baarakallah feek, SR Indefinable. It's been a very useful initiative by the kindness of Allah Ta'aalaa. Alhamdulillah.

      (Maybe going forward, inshaaAllah, we can even start other things similar or of a slightly different nature possibly...)

      I don't eat that much sugary food often unless it is dessert but where I was I took that out. I reduced my carb intake by having no rice, roti, bread and limited root veg.

      Now I eat in the main chicken, eggs, salad, fish. Not had a curry in weeks. I started eating some extra stuff because I don't want to lose too much weight. We wanted to change what we eat so it's easier to digest and better for us.

      I'm carrying an injury at the moment but when I recover I will start exercising so it will probably mean I can add in the odd roti here and there.

        And yes if you both do the change as a couple it's much easier.

      I see. Protein keeps a person full for longer.

      May Allaah grant you a speed recovery.

        Yes exactly. A little leads to a lot. And more often.

        I was thinking of 'Couch to 5k' which is a 9 week running program.

        Not sure how others will feel about it, especially since it's colder here (UK). It can work on a treadmill too. But you only need around 20-25 mins a day for this.

        And there are other challenges like the Plank/Squat 30 days challenge. Or the no-Caffeine challenge (something I will probably struggle with).

          The dietis in no way natural aswell, you cannot even go and eat honey and dates which is sunnah. It is not a way to live.

            It is possible to lose a stone of just glycogen and water doing keto, he might not even had lost any fat tbf.

            Losing water weight is absolutely pointless, infact it is counter productive.

            I drink more water than I have ever done. That was even before the change in what I eat.

            If you stick with it over time it has lasting effects.

              Drinking water has almost nothing to do with how much water and glycogen your body stores.

              In ramadan, I also lose a stone, it is really just water loss due to less calories and carbs.

              Presumably after Ramadan over a few weeks the weight went back on. If it stays off then that would mean something else is going on.

              I don't know what point you are trying to make. You take on water by drinking liquids and from the food you eat. The body uses this. You do realise on keto you are still eating and drinking.

              What happens when glycogen levels are low?

            Why because you are reducing (not removing completely) your carb intake?

            How much honey and dates do you want to eat?

              No, you cannot eat a bunch of dates while on Keto, even 1 might not be allowed

              I eat how much I want to

                2 days ago I finally got fed up of all the sugar I was having as it was making me feel terrible so I decided to go 3 days without sugar, dairy & fruit ...just complete cold turkey.

                It lasted a day :(

                  A day is a start. Maybe start off slowly?

                  Keep the dairy and fruit and cut out sugar to begin with.

                  You just need to motivate yourself.

                    Yes and discipline which is what I am lacking most.
                    Inshallah will give it another go.
