Ketosis Diet

Hi everyone! I am starting a 5 day ketosis diet tomorrow. This is the last step before they schedule my surgery. It consists of 3 oz. of meat or 2 eggs 3x a day and clear liquids only. I am sure by Wednesday I will be pretty cranky. Anyone else have to do this, if so do you have any suggestions?

well, I am on the business end of a 2 week completely liquid diet so yours sounds like Nirvana :)

Me too - I'm on day 5 of my 2-week pre-op liquid diet - 4/8 surgery date. I would kill for a piece of chicken or steak...heck watching The Walking Dead even makes me hungry!  LOL

I won't complain. I now realize, at least I can have meat and not just straight liquids! Good luck!

this comment about the walking dead just cracked me up thank you ,    I don't start my diet till may 12th   glucernia and milk is all im allowed and water of course  .. guess im happy this is the last night for the walking dead 

I had the straight liquid diet but I've done this type of diet before. Obviously don't fry your meats. For breakfast I would do grilled ham or turkey bacon, lunch I would generally do grilled chicken or turkey. Dinner was about the same. I'm from Texas and we eat lots of deer here, it's super lean and good for you. 

Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely won't be frying! 

don't limit salt, unless you have and issue with water retention. 

Low carb diet - you may lose a lot of water weight very fast - causing low blood pressure and even muscle cramps. Magnesium and sodium (pickles?) really helps me... muscle cramps or getting dizzy when getting up from a sitting position reminds me that salt (I use high quality sea salt) is my friend.
