Thought it might be a good time to revive this thread. Is anyone here on DC still on a ketogenic diet?
I've managed to stick with it for almost 9 months now. I've lost about 80 pounds, but have plateaued recently. I don't have a lot more to lose, and if I don't lose anther pound, I'm okay with that. I've found it very, very easy to maintain my current weight on this diet - something I've never been able to do in the past.
I wanted to post a photo of a dinner I had recently while dining out in South Sioux City, Nebraska. It was what I would consider to be an almost perfect keto meal: a 6 ounce, 35-day aged (yes - 5 weeks!), grass-fed New York strip steak. At first, I thought the block sitting on top of the steak was cheese, but turned out to be 2 ounces of compound butter. The steak is also sitting in a pool of Bearnaise sauce. On the left is creamed Swiss chard with with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
I didn't lose any weight on this trip, but I didn't gain any, either. When I got home, I was happy to find I was the exact same weight as when I left.

That looks wonderful, Steve. Yes, I am back on ketogenic since the move. Mom and Dad are ketoing it, too! Makes it easier to stay accountable if there are others fasting and eating with you. We fast on Tuesdays. Shrek is on a modified Keto...he's working his way off carbs at this point. I was just glad when he quit drinking Pepsi recently.
