I think with berries we always get into the vexed question of how much is sugar (very small amount) v. how much is fibre and are you a total or nett carbs person.

Gearing up for the Christmas Club Challenge

I have done a bit of browsing around the web and found on Health Central, you can calculate your true weight rather than go off BMI. http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exerc ... ,5,3,145,1. I know Dukan has one but I did not want to register. This site tells me that I am 20lb's or 9kg's overweight. This means I will still be overweight by Christmas which does not please me in the slightest.
Ideal weight range is 114 - 125.4 lbs. (51.8 - 57 kg.).
You are overweight by 19.6 lbs. (9 kg.).
I then went onto Keto calculator http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/. The site has moved on since I last was here and I was impressed - principally because it predicted my fat % as 37%. Spot on!
It was recommending just 25g carbs per day for me - which I think is extremely low - a small carton of raspberries is 20g in itself - and I put a whole carton in my protein smoothie. 60g of carbs and 73g of fat. The fun part of the site is that it predicts your fat loss over time. I could be 30% B/F by mid January, 25% by April, 20% by June and 15% by September. All seems a bit theoretical to me but quite motivational nonetheless. I'd be happy to get under 30% if I'm honest. I'm not sure I can combine Fast-5 with a ketogenic diet as I need to have carbs, but I will be more mindful I think in the coming weeks. I'm already off the sugar and that is good enough for me.
I will weight on 1st Oct so I know my start point.
