Keto Soups and Stews has a ton of really yummy recipes. My favorites: IP Zuppa Tuscano, Broccoli+Gouda and the garlic bread sticks.
I'll bring it up at PT on Thursday. I feel like I've discussed it but sometimes things just don't get through the first time.
Yes we do!
> They based the study on Atkins' 1972 book rather than a more recent version... it's not clear why they chose to do that as it seems like dieters in 2011 would be more interested in a newer Atkins book like any of his 2003 books.
As far as I can tell this is a reference problem in the published paper. The paper explicitly references the title of the newer book:
> The LCHF group was instructed to follow the guidelines described in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution [6] aiming to limit carbohydrate intake, and otherwise eat ad libitum
Atkins' New Diet Revolution actually is the newer/more updated one. However, if you look at reference 6 it says:
> R.A. Atkins, Dr. Atkins` Diet Revolution: The High Calorie Way to Stay Thin Forever, Bantam, 1972.
The original book is just called the Diet Revolution, New Diet Revolution actually is the more recent book that would have been pertinent at the time this was conducted in 2012.
This is actually worth pointing out to the journal and/or authors imo. I suspect they used the more recent book but have a reference error for reference 6.
Ready meals: go to Sainsburys and have a look at their "my goodness!" range -- other supermarkets probably/likely do similar foods but I've found that Sainsburys is, y'know, good. They do things like a roast chicken dinner (285kcal), chilli prawn linguini (391kcal), mushroom risotto (349kcal), pulled pork & sweet potato mash (305kcal). All are reasonable in terms of protein and carbs, lowish in fat (mainly sat fat), but are a bit pricey (£2-£3.25) and can be a bit high in salt (~1.3-1.8g per pack).
Similarly, their stonebaked pizzas are pretty reasonable per half-pizza -- 382kcal for 1/2 chicken & pesto, 540kcal for 1/2 hot & spicy. Serve that up with a bit low-cal salad. Again, salt is a little bit high.
Iceland. I know it might have a bit of an odd reputation (that they're trying to improve), but their "meals in a bag" are another option. Each bag is 2 portions, and calorie counts are from 293 (fajita mix, though I'd toss in some tortillas and toppings) to 517kcal a serving (chicken & bacon creamy pasta). Iceland also sell Slimming World and Weight Watchers meals.
For grabbing on the go, McDonald's grilled chicken wraps are ~330kcal each (grilled, not crispy -- stating this again because the difference is ~130kcal). Add a small fries and a water or diet soft drink and you're looking at ~700kcal without extra dipping sauces. By my rough estimates your TDEE is ~3800, so a 700kcal meal is 1/4 of your 2800kcal intake to lose 2lb a week.
Visit /r/mealprepsunday for information on how to meal prep one day a week and get yourself a slow cooker (or, better, a multifunction electric cooker). Grab some of these meal prep containers and freeze them. Have a look at The Hairy Dieters Fast Food for ideas -- all the meals in that book require a max 30mins prep/cook, and some are slow cooker/pressure cooker recipes that you can set and forget.
> A lot of my uncertainty comes from not understanding the proper risks. No matter how much I research I'm met with a myriad of opposing answers.
When researching this subreddit for specific queries, definitely go with the Google search method versus Reddit's search engine. For example, before I started my first extended fast, I was really curious about electrolyte supplementation. So I put this into Google:
electrolytes site:www.reddit.com/r/fasting
It was still a lot of information to sort through, but the results are vastly superior to whatever method Reddit uses for its search function. Just substitute "electrolytes" for your specific keywords in that search string.
I started out with alternate day / intermittent fasting around two years ago, and I found these books to be really informative at that time:
The Every-Other-Day Diet (Krista Varady)
The Alternate-Day Diet (James Johnson)
The Fast Diet (Michael Mosley)
There's also a free, quick-read eBook about 19:5 eating windows by Bert Herring called The Fast 5 Diet.
For a very complete, comprehensive guides - with an emphasis on the benefits of extended fasting - my top recommendation would be these two books by Dr. Jason Fung, as well as his Intensity Dietary Management blog. He's also a co-host on the Fasting Talk podcast, which thus far has published 20 lengthy but very informative episodes. Because Dr. Fung is directly involved in those resources, they would be your best source of consistent and well-researched information from someone who's considered to be an authority on fasting.
I hope this helps!
Welcome!
On the question of books--
Try the original Atkins book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0553271571/
and (actually a web site, with a lot of great info) Mark's Daily Apple:

Notes
The Every-Other Day Diet^TM isn't seen much around here but the summary is eat normally one day, eat only 500 Cal the next. The 500Cal is preferably a single meal but it's OK to spread it out. It's Alternate Day Fasting with a meal thrown in on the fasting day. The author of the book on it has plenty of research articles on it.
I'm doing a modified version to match my needs. For the "fast" day meal I'm having a 6 egg scramble with garlic and salt. On the other day I don't have a calorie limit but am only having middle bacon and high fat minced/ground beef.
So so far it's been:
So it's a keto/carnivore factor but even then narrowing it down much further to just eggs, bacon & mince. This is mostly to help further limit my calorie intake (it's hard to eat even 1,200Cal of mostly mince) but also to keep my blood glucose & insulin as low as possible.
I just tried this recipe for keto pumpkin bread! They recommend to leave the loaf to set overnight (I put mine in the fridge.) I will definitely make it again as it was delicious.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cup Almond flour
1/2 cup Coconut flour (I used 2 cups plus 2 tbsp a combination paleo nut flour I found at Whole Foods instead of the two different kinds of flour.)
3/4 cup Erythritol
2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
1/4 tsp Sea salt
3/4 cup Pumpkin puree
4 large Egg (lightly beaten)
1/3 cup Butter (measured solid, then melted; can use ghee or coconut
oil for dairy-free)
1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds
Process:
-Preheat oven to 375ºF.
-Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
-Combine dry ingredients (except pumpkin seeds.)
-Combine wet ingredients.
-Incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
-Pour the batter into the loaf pan, making sure it is relatively flat on top. I pressed it with a baking spatula.
-Pour the pumpkin seeds over the batter in the pan. To ensure the seeds don't run away when you go to cut the bread later, you can press them into the dough, although I didn't do this.
-Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I took the recommendation from the Keto Comfort Foods cookbook to do confectioners' Swerve instead of granulated erythritol. I often find when I use granulated stevia/erythritol-based sweeteners in baking, it leads to an overly-grainy, bitter, and cooling/sickly-sweet quality to the food. I would definitely choose the confectioners' again for this one, and maybe next time pair the confectioner's with some stevia glycerite to improve the texture.
>I cannot actually recommend any specific such cookbook
I can! This one is pretty great for CICO, as it gives all your nutritional info on every recipe. And, unlike a lot of recipes you find online, these were tested over and over again.
p.s. This one is also good, although less food porn-y. Honestly, I prefer this one, but it doesn't have as much visual appeal.
Its from 1981. I came across a copy at a yard sale a few years back.
You can see into the book on the Amazon product page. It gives you examples of the meal plans, recipes and the index - should be enough for you to decide if it is up your alley :)

Found it.

In a nutshell 500 on fast days, eat what you want on up days. https://www.facebook.com/groups/alternatedayfasting This facebook group is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. The group tends to skew middle age mostly because it works pretty brilliantly for us in the perimenopausal/menopausal crowd.
The Hairy Dieters: Fast Food (Hairy Bikers) - easily the best healthy recipe book I've found.

My ex-gf bought me this book for my birthday: http://www.amazon.com/The-Mayo-Clinic-Diet-Weight/dp/1561486760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341295820&sr=8-1&keywords=mayo+clinic (Among other things. It was kind of a care package with other things).
I got the hint right away, and I thought it was sweet of her. (I lost 30 lbs since then, but we are no longer together. Another woman is enjoying the outcome :D)
i just got this book and it's been awesome for me. lost almost 10 pounds and started on 1/11. Plus the book was 3.00 plus change on Amazon. Its a quick read...alot of recipes which take up alot of space. one detail, i keep keto and do NOT eat "whatever i want" on eating days. i count calories, but if i am hungry, i eat something keto. i don't sit around starving :) I didn't believe the hunger would go away but for me anyway it did just as the author said.

Just remember little by little. Don't try to change your life in a day, add small steps each week to achieve your goals!
There are soooo many different combinations of food you can buy. My personal recommendation never changes though: 1/2 veggies, 1/4 lean meats, 1/4 fruits & other foods that you enjoy (can be candy or anything) also lots and lots of eggs! They're kind of in their own category, I just always buy 2 dozen whenever I go to the store! I would not recommend juicing honestly. It's good for pre/post workout shakes and what not, but since all of the food becomes a liquid (obviously) it is digested MUCH quicker than solid food such as chicken. It can be done, don't let me deter you if that is the path you wish to take...but generally a diet like that is hard to follow and gets very boring very quickly!
If you want to see some awesome recipes check out book like this: http://www.amazon.com/Shredded-Chef-Recipes-Building-Getting/dp/1478213655/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368930754&sr=1-4&keywords=mike+matthews
I own that book and love a good amount of the recipes!
Also, check out Derek Howes Fitness! His recipes are ORGASMIC, and extremely sound nutrition wise (some have a high amount of sodium, but you can remove some of that sodium with substitutes)

I have Cooking Light's book Cooking that Counts. I've liked everything I've tried so far. It has calorie counts and suggestions for up to 1500 calorie a day diets. This is nice if you're eating with a spouse who needs more calories.

I'm not sure this will help but this is a list of medical journal articles on the topic, it may be informative and relevant to your situation - http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1096250612451758?journalCode=yeca
The autistic kiddos I've dealt came potty trained or wore nappies, I do not have experience with this, hopefully the links will help! Good luck!
Thanks for the support! I truly love how I feel when I do keto. Full of energy, and I don't really have cravings between meals (unless I'm in a room with pizza or something). I try to always keep a lunchbox nearby with some cheese and pepperoni to snack on when I get hungry, and that helps a bunch. The hardest part is meal planning, but I use the recipes in The TNT Diet and find them easy to prepare (since the book is marketed toward men) and incredibly delicious! What are your tips for meal planning?

Jejej simon, existe mucha gente intolerante a la soya, pero hay otro debate, dependiendo el tipo de sangre puedes ser candidato o no a ser vegetariano o vegano (http://www.amazon.es/Clave-esta-sangre-Neil-Stevens/dp/8478084045). Pero aqui no termina, el grave problema es que hay muchas teorias, mismo caso como el del envejecimiento. Lo cierto es que nuestra forma de vida cada vez es mas sedentaria, eso seguro que requerira cambios drasticos en todos nuestros aspectos biologicos.
Have you checked out this book? http://www.amazon.com/Toilet-Training-Individuals-Autism-Developmental/dp/1932565493
Not a huge fan of Men's Fitness, but this has the recipes and macro breakdowns you're looking for
http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Health-Book-Food-Nutrition/dp/1605293105/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

Sounds like you need a guy's cookbook.
There are two I'd recommend:
A man, a can, a plan
http://www.amazon.com/Man-Can-Plan-Great-Meals/dp/1579546072
Muscle Chow
http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Health-Muscle-Chow-Workouts/dp/1594865485/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303829929&sr=1-1
Both have fairly easy recipes that are geared towards a guy's taste buds and they keep hassle and cooking to a minimum.
All recipes give you a breakdown of calories, protein, carbs, etc. so you just need to figure out how many calories you need each day and then choose the recipes that add up to that total.
Hope that helps!

Jeff Volek is a professor at the University of Connecticut and has been conducting his own research on low-carb diets for several years now. For people that are into the science of low carb, he should be your hero. His collaboration with Adam Campbell, the TNT Diet is what first introduced me to low carb living and ultimately changed my life.
The All-New Complete Cooking Light Cookboook has tons of recipes for everything you can imagine, and everything is delicious! Haven't made a bad recipe out of there yet.
Bueno, ya me perdi, tu dijiste:
>pero hay otro debate, dependiendo el tipo de sangre puedes ser candidato o no a ser vegetariano o vegano ([1] http://www.amazon.es/Clave-esta-sangre-Neil-Stevens/dp/8478084045).
A lo que yo respondi, que ese debate no existe, el tipo de sangre no determina que dieta debas de tomar, o si puedas ser vegano o vegetariano, si alguien quiere ser vegano, adelante, solamente que tome los suplementos alimenticios necesarios y ya. Ahora bien, depende del organismo es diferente a "depende del tipo de sangre",supongo que habra ciertas características genéticas que hagan que un tipo de dieta sea mejor para una persona que para otra, aunque no lo se de cierto, ese no es mi ramo.

This book has been out a few years but I spotted it in a recent article. Below is an Amazon.com link if you want to read some comments about it:

You can do it. That's the thing. You've proven to it yourself before this time, and it's fine that you had a moment of weakness during a difficult time. You are allowed to be human once in a while. The brain will lie to you to get what it wants and sometimes will throw a tantrum to do it. It's like a spoiled, manipulative child at times, and as we know, you can't give into that because that's not what's best for it. It's what you do after those hard times that really matters, and you sound determined!
Might not be useful to you, but I bought this keto comfort foods recipe book that I'm really looking forward to indulging in, especially once it starts cooling down outside (as in, below 80 degrees, at least).
nice work.
we're enjoying https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAGAMI4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
it combines keto eating with intermittent fasting. complete with meal plans and shopping lists - makes it pretty easy. we have a week left until our initial 30 day weigh ins and measurements.

If you want a quick do-it-yourself eating and workout plan, then check out the "TNT Diet". Check out the forums for quick tips.
The TNT Diet is what got me into eating way different from everybody else. Give it a chance, but make sure you read the book and understand what you are trying to do. There will be many times when you have to refer back to it or the forum.

La cuestión de la dieta ketogenica o cetogenica es que es cualquier dieta que te baje el nivel de carbos a un punto en el que tu cuerpo pase de utilizar la insulina como energpia a utilicar cetonas como energia, por eso es que se llama cetogenica/ketogenica. Hay varias dietas alli afuera que se basan en bajar el consumo de carbos, muchos acá como tu misma comentas estnán haciendo basicamente en la primera fase de la dieta Atkins, que se llama fase de inducción y basicamente es la que te permite comer toda la proteína y grasas que queiras, y maximo 20 gm de carbos al dpia en forma de vegetales, quesos. Si puedes conseguir el libro de la dietas atkins original, el del año 72 ese es el que te trata la propia dieta ketogenica que hacen mayormente en /r/keto
Acá te consegui un link en amazon http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Atkins-Diet-Revolution-Robert/dp/0553271571/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345059166&sr=8-1&keywords=atkins+diet+1972
Basicamente esta es la versión que hacen aquí y en cuanto a la dieta atkins en este libro encontraras la dieta atkins pura antes de sus varios cambios.
