How is my Ketosis going? 10KG DOWN 2 MONTHS IN! Heres what I do:
It has been one more than one month of ketosis and almost on the 2 month mark. And it has been an amazing journey, I am able to breathe easy again, because I can now know that I will be able to stick to this program and change my life forever. Tell you that it is easy would be a lie I sometimes find myself stumbling around in the kitchen opening the cupboards and fridge multiple times. Before coming to the realization that these things I want are going to sabotage my ketosis.
What does a day of eating look like.
Wake up 7 am. Coffee cream/milk
1-2pm Lunch sometimes I continue to fast to dinner. Something that has gotten much easier as time has gone on. I have been a fan of intermittent fasting long before ketosis. And now it is used regularly with ketosis, some doctors prescribe it. I will have 5-6 eggs, with cheese mayo and carrots.
Dinner would be a protein and salads.
Lots of coffee throughout the day. With nuts as snacks and cured meats sometimes. Always below 3000 calories but I don't count.
Very simple and I mostly eat the same way every day. So how have I been doing. Well I was able to reach 100 kg thats 10 kg lost so far. Last time I managed this I was on clen and fitter that I have ever been. I could squad 140 KG and Deadlift 180 for 3 reps. But I managed to regain the weight in a flash. Now I have not exercised except for one silly kettlebell workout I uploaded.
This plan is not for everyone and should not be started unless you are 100% committed. I will be doing ketosis for the next year and draw conclusions there. I will do blood tests progress pictures and Fat %
Me @ 114 KG So what side effect or benefits have I been noticing?
- I go to the loo less for number 2
- I don't fart as much as my brother who eats anything and is older than me and lighter.
- I eat more vegetable now that ever before
- I enjoy other foods I previously would pass on
- I feel more positive, could be the positive results or invigoration
- I feel mentally empowered, not many can withstand the food industries clever marketing schemes. And I stand in deviance of them! Which is great.
- My upper back pain seems to be subsiding but now my chest is very stiff. I use to flex my shoulders forward to create a hunch back to hide my man boobs during my school years. So 12 years of terrible posture I blame for that. The reason I started this was to hopefully get rid of back pain which could be caused liver or other organs diverting the pain.
Thank you for explaining what you are doing for your weight loss efforts.
