Diet's been going well so far, I gained most of the weight back that I previously reported as losing, so it was probably due to water retention, who knows. Weight fluctuations like that are common when starting a ketogenic diet. I'm currently at 171, so I have lost 4 lbs at almost 3 weeks in, which isn't bad. I also think that I've lost more than that in fat, as I have been able to increase strength on lifting. My fat has also gone noticeably down on my stomach and has become much jigglier haha. All good signs.
At 1x10 @ 255, 1x6 @ 285 on the squat! Can't wait to break 300 in two weeks!
I've been somewhat loose with my diet, not eating strictly what I originally set my meals for but still maintaining low/no net carbs and estimating a 500 kcal deficit. I'm now running a 10-minute mile every day after lifting. Next week I'll probably buckle down on the diet and add in 30-60 minutes light cardio in the morning, as well as increasing my cardio in the evening after lifting to a 10-minute mile followed by 30 mins walking on the treadmill. Expecting much more progress!
So far so good! Carb up days are awesome! I love drinking and eating carbs on Saturdays, yeah so what if I'm not making all the progress I could because of this it's my psych-up day too!
