Anyone drinking Ketones?



Recommended Posts

If your following low carb why are you drinking ketones?

Drinking ketones does nothing but make your pee test positive for ketosis. But if you ate a turn of carbs then drank it sure your pee will show ketosis. But that's because you've just drank ketones. Your not in real fat burning mode ketosis. All you've done is trick your pee to test positive but its not doing anything for your weight loss. And your getting back in real ketosis in the same amount of time.

Why not just trust your plan without drinking that? You don't need any extra drinks to help you succeed. You've have your procedure.

This drinking keotones fad is one of the worst things I have seen in a long time. It is just marketing and junk science.

Just eat right. You don't need to drink keotones. Don't let people rip you off.

Low carbing is all you need if that is your method of losing weight.

How do people get sucked back into fad diets after going through such a big procedure? You do not even have to do even a 2 second research to come up with the fact drinking ketones is a load of crap. So what research is people doing honestly? I am not trying to be harsh to the OP but just curious.

Not bashing OP but just in general

@dreamingsmall

People that treat WLS like another diet, keeping falling into the same pitfalls. If WLS is a complete lifestyle change for someone, this doesn't seem to happen as often.

People who regain get desperate. There is a lot of pressure to maintain weight loss, and when people regain they feel a lot of pressure. Especially people that decide to be WLS poster children.

Science education in America sucks. I do not see as many people in foreign countries with such poor understanding of science and nutrition. Like the 2 guys that tried to debate me on how much a pound of muscle weighs. :lol::lol:

I saw that thread, I left pretty quickly it was getting silly. I am wondering if OP is selling this product as she has just returned to this forum and her only 3 posts is mentioning drinking ketones, I get when someones excited about something new.. But not that excited lol.

Wow you ladies are harsh. To assume is to assume wrong. No I'm not selling the product but I'm seeing great results so no need to lash out at those who are. I'm down 25lbs in 2.5 months and feel great, which I think is pretty awesome. I'm 10 years post op and post 2 babies back to back with a total unfill from csection swelling. I by no means have gained all my weight back but like many gained with having children and needed a refocus hence my return. Perhaps you will understand 10 years post op. I was curious if there was anyone interested in what I'm interested in, you know a community.

Non ones harsh. The ketone drink isn't causing the weight loss the low carb Is the drink does nothing you can't argue with fact that all the drink is make your pee positive. It doesn't make you go into ketosis after eating carbs lol it just says your pee is positive. But you are not in real fat burning ketosis. What is harsh about the facts? If you want to drink for nothing go ahead. But I did ask if your low carb why do you need the drink? The drink doesn't cause weight loss the low carb diet did. I didn't assume I said I'm wondering if you sell the product. What was the assumption there. Your lucky you gotba response stating the facts. Most people know its its rubbish but decided not to respond. We tried to help and got called harsh. I can see why others didn't bother.

Who's lashing out lol ? Why would we lash out ? All ketone drinks do is make wee positive. Nothing else contributing to weight loss. If you drink it without changing your eating habits you wont lose weight. Just carry on doing low carb.

Its a dangerous slidy slope trying all these drinks to get on track.

You came here to refocuse and even though I'm in the hospital in trying to help you. So dont be rude just because we be rude because we are being honest that if you did two seconds of research you'd see what your drinking is rubbish.

Protein first. And leafy non starchy veggies will have you losing weight faster.

I know you had a band. But for a sleep. I eat 4 ounces at a time.

People try to help you and you acuse them of lashint out because you lost weight lol ? Makes non sense at all we are all losing weight.

This is my last response as I'm exhausted on a lot of meds and won't be insulted for trying to tell you that weight loss was done by you not that use less drink.

So actually, "Nahmy" (Normy the cheers guy as said by Cliff Claven), aside from using ketones after WLS--it's a little known fact that some of the cutting edge research being done on cancer and dietary intervention today is in the area of the application of a ketogenic diet and supplementation with external sources of ketones. Turns out it may not be "full of gump" or hocus pocus. :) ;) This researcher, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino is the one of the shiznits in the keto/low carb community.

What supplement are you using? To do it properly you need to have a combination of BHB salts and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride). This is why a lot of people who are doing a ketogenci coffee drink bulletproof coffee. Look up Dominic D'Agostino, he is the ketosis guru and many of the supplements on the market are actually his.

There are dickholes on this app now. Life is life and sometimes it plain sucks. Everybody tries to survive differently. Not a big fan now that all these assholes are in here acting like they havent touched a Kit Kat or a potato chip or God forbid ate something that contained sugar....

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
