Pro-tip for Ketogen'ers: when you decide to change up your routine by adding CINNAMON to your keto bread in the morning, read the label. CINNAMON is not spelled C-U-M-I-N... Who puts these next to each other in the spice cabinet anyway?!

It wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't do it again.

I made a simple, blackened perch with a lemon butter sauce. The dinner couldn't have been easier. It was loaded with flavor. I was starved and forgot to take some pictures :(

I never end up really following a recipe. I started with this and made some additions/changes.

Notes - I used a tub of crab meat from aldi or publix, jumbo lump in the clear container with the tennis ball style lid (not canned crap). Since you live at the beach, fresh crab would be best!

I put more pork rinds, an extra egg yolk and mayo than the recipe called for, mainly because I wanted 6 nice sized cakes and to get the consistency right (it truly is amazing you can't taste the pork rinds at all) My wife who is not keto loved them and thought they tasted like any regular crab cake. The Worcestershire sauce sounds weird, but is fantastic.

I add some red pepper and other seasonings. Coconut oil works really well and adds another dimension of slight flavor.

What's your typical daily intake/meal plan look like? are you hungry? are your cravings gone?

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.

I typically eat between 800-1200 calories/day, with a max net carb intake of 10. I don't track when I'm in ketosis or anything like that. I'm never hungry, and if I eat more than 1200 calories, I feel like I ate 5000

I eat Atkins bars (great for protein, fiber, and low carb) and supplement with lean meats, cheeses, etc. I know it's all shit ingredients, but it's better than being 400+ pounds. I eat the same general stuff every day, but since I've deprioritized food in my life, it doesn't really bother me. I eat minimal veggies because I'm an adult picky eater, but I am slowly trying to make strides on that front. If I want to go out to eat and have a 50 carb meal, I do it, then lose the gained weight the following day. I exercise minimally, but walk as much as I can and have more energy now.

This will all change as I get closer to a normal weight, as more exercising and a better diet will become more essential. For now, just trying to get my fat ass out of the super morbidly obese range.

Whatever you are doing is working, every time I see your Calorie range it shocks the hell out of me. I've lost 80lbs in 9 months eating 2000-2400 calories a day and started at less weight than you, it was and still is hard sometimes when I am in a major calorie deficit. 800 is what I aim for per meal (2 meals a day plus 1 snack in between and 18 hours of fasting every day). I literally can't imagine eating 800-1200 calories for a whole day!

Your progress is truly amazing and I don't mean this as a buzz kill at all, but I would prepare yourself mentally for your metabolism to adjust, our bodies are fascinating and when you are in a mega calorie deficit your metabolism adjusts to whatever it is used to getting. My only concern would be your metabolism getting used to that low of calories and then not having any way to go lower.

Whenever I have a super deficit I feel sluggish and lose less weight, so everyone is different, for me it takes small adjustments and now having to add exercise eventually.

Have you tried fasting at all? It works wonders with keto. Basically keto/atkins teaches your body to burn fat as fuel and when you are in a prolonged fasted state your body uses your own fat as fuel as it has nothing else to use and the keto side of thing makes it very efficient at using/burning stored fat.

When I put my weight/height (280/6ft) in a calculator it says to eat 2300 calories to lose weight, but I try to stick to 2k since my body has adjusted and I want faster progress.

Thanks so much and good luck to you! Sounds like you are doing the right things.

Completely agreed on all points. I'm aware that I'll need to adjust my exercise routine and likely eat more to have a sustained loss and stabilize my weight. For now, I'm just riding this out until I can get as low as I can, thereby increasingly my ability to be more mobile.

I have tried fasting when I was eating more, but I've found I need a more consistent calorie flow to not crash. However, I do plan to incorporate intermittent fasting once I hit the next stage.

Speed is a huge boost so I totally understand! Get as much off fast so I could exercise was my goal, but I kept losing and not exercising lol. I'm hoping when I really stall out and add excersise it makes the rest of the way even faster
 
1 egg, 1/2 c of shredded cheese, 1 tbs of almond flour, and 1/2 tsp of baking powder per waffle. I added a half of avocado to the mix.

Just mix well and put it on the waffle maker...

from someone's previous post (i can't recall who):

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
2 TBSP Almond Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Flax seeds (optional)
a drop of Vanilla Extract (optional)
some cinnamon (optional)
a few blueberries (optional)

mix and pour in waffle iron. (makes a decent size waffle. I actually double the ingredients for a full meal and make 2 waffles)
then i use butter and sugar free syrup.
