MissLadyJ's Pilgrimage Through Unconventionality
Hello. Just moved my thread over from the Keto section. My goal is to lose fat and gain an insane amount of functional strength.
I will be sculpting my body with a Paleo / Primal diet, Convict Conditioning (old school advanced progressive calisthenics), and am looking to start incorporating kettle bells and Olympic lifting soon.
Have decided to track macros / calories for my diet and am using this thread: [url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981[/url] as an influence. Am now going with 1600 calories a day, 180g protein, 80g fat, and 40g carbs (was previously on 1300, 65% fat, 30 % protein, and 5% carbs diet).
I have been on a low carb diet for 7 weeks now...have lost 19lbs (198 to 179) and 6.5 inches from my waist. I don't notice a huge difference in the pics I am posting to compare progress from after 1 week of training to the end of 7 weeks, but my stomach is considerably flatter and I'm finding it much easier to move around and be active. My clothes also fit better :).
Am aware that many people don't agree with paleo / primal, but I'm not here to argue about that. I do appreciate advice, constructive criticism, and even sharing of other people's experiences.
