Various combinations of flavor (example,Flavorings & Sweeteners | Myprotein.com), Greek Yogurt, Canned Pumpkin, Cinnamon / Nutmet, Berries, etc. can also be delicious and potentially cheaper. These were a pretty big staple for me on Keto.

Get the Great Value lite greek yogurt from Wal Mart, it's like 80 calories per container I eat 2 of them for a snack it's decent protein and yummy.

It's been 3 weeks I think, on the 4th now. This low carb shit can eat a bowl of dicks. I feel tired and shitty every single night.

Really no one-size-fits-all diet plan. If she's doing fine on it and not feeling like shit but you are? Add some carbs back into your diet to stop feeling like shit, and drop a few calories from fats or proteins so the caloric deficit is the same. If a doctor didn't specifically tell you that you should follow a specific diet for medical reasons (not sure if they did! Some diabetics/prediabetics up in this ma', can't keep track of them all) then uh, feel free to play with the specifics until you aren't feeling like shit while still losing weight. In the end, it's all about caloric deficit anyway and dedication to keeping an eye on it. Low carb has the same success rates for normal people as low fat or any other(reasonable) type of diet, so there's a chance that the low carb action might not be right for you, which is what it sounds like.

Get some adderall. Not only will it kill the appetite but you'll be hyper like a 4 year old.

Ritalin has been a big help for my fat loss. My last dosage increase was sufficient enough for me to start experiencing the appetite suppression you guys warned me about. I've started needing to regiment my eating or I won't realize I haven't eaten until I get hangry.

It took me about 4 weeks of getting off carbs/sugar/fats before i started feeling unshitty. I can't ever say i feel better than b4, no my happiest is eating a nice bowl of ramen or pigging out on spaghetti, but hey it's a lifestyle change, taking care of problems and issues b4 they surface.

I seriously considered this at one point. Mostly just because everyone in my field is pretty much on adderall. Feels like I'm playing at a disadvantage. But I don't know how to beging to get a prescription for that shit.

I've been prescribed phentermene before. I'm not sure it did much for me, but then again I was much younger, and functioning off 4-6 hours of sleep a night just fine. Those were the days! Then again, looking back, maybe it was the phentermene pill I was popping in the morning that made me able to function on little sleep? Hmm...

Getting on drugs to lose weight isn't gonna do shit unless you plan on staying on it for a lifetime cause once you get off, the old habits are just gonna come back.

Basically, yes. Adjust your diet and see what happens before introducing pharmaceuticals into the mix. Is Chaos on some do-or-die diet plan prescribed by his doctor? If not, why add pharmas to the equation when minor food changes (especially since he's already watching his intake) would accomplish the same, and uh, not add pharmas to your "diet"? If the doctor has, however, stated that Chaos needs to lose x lbs via low-cal diets in the next y days/weeks, then sure, drug away if the doctor is ok with it. But if not... what is he racing towards? Adjusting intake is substantially more sustainable than taking drugs to overcome feeling like shit because the specific diet plan someone is adhering to isn't in their best interest to follow.

This is similar to the "big" guys in the weightlifting thread talking about taking painkillers so they can keep lifting weights when they aren't competing and the numbers mean nothing outside of personal benchmarks.

I'm doing the keto thing to support my wife who has to do it for medical reasons right now. Doesn't hurt that I gained back some of the weight I lost a few years ago so I am losing it again. But no, I'm not going on adderall, that was a joke. Serious about like everyone in my industry being on adderall or something similar, it does seem that way sometimes.

Man...I am really losing the weight! Today I kept pulling my pants up. I'm like WTF, then I realized I needed to go over a notch on the old belt. It's happening! I'm losing weight!

Yup, it's the fucking belt notch, makes everything awesome.
