1Day of Keto Diet

[DBallerz]

Enough is enough, gotta get ready for summer. 192 currently, gonna cut down till 175. Ate breaded chicken fingers in the am, boiled eggs for lunch. Hungry feeling is coming back. Craving of carbs is definitely there. My hunger feels unsatisfied . I'm not hungry per se, but I can deff eat more even though I shouldn't. Expecting first couple of days to be the hardest.

Beach bod here we go.

Sore as hell from the workout yesterday. Probably don't have time to work out today. Will workout + run tomorrow.

First Week
Been slowly tapering off carbs
Sugar cravings have been strong as the week went on
Way more energy
Muscles recover quicker
More intense workouts as days go on
Slowley coming back into my monster addiction, need a healthy preworkout
Been eating rougly 1800-1400 calories daily, 40f 40p 20c not closely tracking them yet.
I've been doing full body 300 work out and stairmaster or running for 30-40 minutes after workouts.
Feeling great besides to sugar cravings and starting to get bored of the eating the same meals.

I figured I've been losing mostly water weight because I stopped eating carbs suddenly. The loss is gonna taper off slowly. Goal for next monday is 185. I would be ecstatic for that.

sugar craving are the worst probably but the longer you stay away from it the faster you get used to it.

Just some advice that from what I did the first couple of weeks starting out... Bump cals up, like 2300-2500 a day... Go as low as possible on carbs, like strive for 0. Keep protein at about .8g-1g per lean pound you weigh. Then with the cals you have left over fill in with fats... I wouldn't worry about what kinds of fats at this point. This will help with the sugar cravings and also keep hunger cravings down as well since fat gives a more satisfied feeling... Make it so you enjoy this time...

Your body is still trying to figure out what's going on with the absence of carbs so as of right now it's not utilizing fat for energy. Until you get into ketosis you most likely will be losing water, a ton of it. After a couple weeks of this bring your cals down to a decent deficit to start cutting bodyfat and cut your fats back to meet that calorie goal.

When your body starts using fat for energy you want it to use your fat stores... So eating less fat at this point can hinder this or even add more fat. Only eat enough fats to hit your calorie defecit while keeping proteins at 1g per lean pound and carbs as low as possible.

To figure out your macros and calorie needs use a keto calculator. I use the one at Ketogains.com -

I'm back with week 2 updates fellas

WEEK 2

All pics taken in the am after a poo and have had nothing to eat yet!





I still haven't tracked my macros to a tee, but ive been around 1400-1700 all week. I've done 2-3 full body work outs, intensity is up, not sore next morning. No more sugar cravings really. I don't 'hungry', it kind of just start feeling i need to eat. Food stopped being 'for enjoyment', but for fuel. I've been doing stairmaster for 250 cals after workouts or jogging back from the gym. I've been keeping carbs at about 20-40g always BEFORE WORKOUTS.

Cons, my body has kind of a fatigue I guess. I took two days off from training during a move. It might be might body giving me 'the flu like symptoms' of entering keto. My muscles feel a little bit constantly tired. Is this the transition to keto? My piss hasn't started smelling yet. But when I drink some caffeine and dive into my workout, it is a good workout.

Other than that, I feel great. Confidence is up. Starting to see stritations. My stomach is always last to lose weight. My obliques are slowly creeping in.
