First time on Keto..

[OLDL6198]

I started today, I'm going until my 18th birthday (April 15). After that I'll decide if I want to keep going or not.

I've never done a low carb diet before, but I'm not gonna lie this isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and I've had less than 10g of carbs today. Hmm..

I'm doing the Madcow 5x5 workout as I want to gain some strength as I lose fat. I haven't worked out in 3 weeks because I tweaked my shoulder, then I had the flu so that kept me out a while. I actually wanted to start last Monday. Oh well.

I completely forgot to weigh myself today, but at the doctor last Friday I weighed 192, but that was wearing shoes and glasses as well as jeans and 2 shirts. So I'll weigh myself tomorrow I guess.

Today's workout was pretty rough, 3 weeks ago my squat was 275x5, and today 255x5 was hard as hell.

This was today's workout:
Workout- Monday

Squat: 125x5, 160x5, 190x5, 225x5, 255x5

Bench: 95x5, 115x5, 140x5, 160x5, 185x5

Row: 75x5, 95x5, 110x5, 125x5, 145x5

This is what I ate today:

1. 2 beef patties, multivitamin. 520 cals, 30 g protein, 44 g fat 0 carbs

2. Pre-workout 1 serving Controlled Labs Green Magnitude (5 g creatine, 0 cals)

3. Post-workout 1 scoop ON Whey w/ water 120 cals, 24 g protein, 1 g fat, 3 g carbs

4. 2 beef patties, 4 flaxseed oil gels. 560 cals, 30 g protein, 44 g fat

5. 1 cup almonds 680 cals, 28 g protein, 60 g fat, 4 g carbs

6. 3 beef patties. 780 cals, 45 g protein, 66 grams fat

2660 cals, 157 g protein, 215 g fat, 7 g carbs

Protein was a little lower than what I would like, but it's only the first day, some tweaking is in order. And yes, I'm one of those people that can eat the same things day in and day out and not get tired, as you can see.

My energy was pretty low all day. After lifting all I wanted to do was sleep, and then I had to go to work at 3. Hopefully by Wednesday I'll be in ketosis.

[OLDL6198]

Took in some more protein today, got a different kind of frozen beef patties that have the same fat content but twice as much protein.

Pretty low on energy, it was hard to think at times in school today. Lots of DOMS from yesterday, it really hurts to move. Then again yesterday was my first workout in 3 weeks.

This is what I took in today...

1. 2 Beef patties(old kind), multivitamin. 520 cals, 30 g protein, 44 g fat 0 carbs

2. 1 Beef patty(old kind), 1 (new) beef patty.Lipton Diet Green Tea (16.9 fl oz) 590 cals, 53 g protein, 44 g fat, 0 carbs

Deadlift: 175x5, 210x5, 245x5, 275x5


Today up until the workout I was feeling pretty good energy-wise. Lifting today killed me. After every set I was panting like a dog, this is weight that would've been light to me 3 weeks ago. The 3-week layoff from weights killed me, but I've heard a lot of success stories on this diet and I'm confident it'll come back soon.

Another interesting note, I weighed myself in the middle of the day because i forgot to do it this morning and I'm 185. I was in the 190-192 range when i started. This must be water weight.

Keep it up, I have 100% faith in your success!

Today was... alright. My entire body is sore as hell. Energy throughout the day was decent. I worked today (I work at a grocery store) and had to turn down an entire plate of free doughnuts from the bakery, I took out their garbage for them and they handed me this tray. I felt so bad, I turned down the sweetest old lady in the world's free doughnuts. LOL oh well, have to make some sacrifices I guess.

Tomorrow is the toughest workout of the week and then I get to have some carbs, I'm going to try to keep it clean as possible.

[OLDL6198]

I've been busy as hell this week, worked a lot more hours than usual and had to catch up on the schoolwork I missed as well as do some projects. I cheated slightly this week, had a few diet cokes here and there, had a cinnamon roll at work one night, and a small doughnut another night at work. Besides that I've been eating extremely low carb and right now I'm 181 pounds as of this morning. I wear 34 waist jeans from American Eagle and those are starting to droop more than usual.

Today was catastrophic. Ate soooo much junk food lol. Maybe a severe cheat like that will help reset my metabolism, who knows lol. I started doing cardio this past week, yesterday I was at 180.
