Nice progress man! I'm following ;)
What's your goal weight btw?
[QUOTE=Ases;489061191]Nice progress man! I'm following ;)

I am 3 pounds away from my goal weight :)
I originally wanted to lose 20lbs in 8 weeks. I have done 17 in 6.
Where do you get your keto products from? I am very interested in a keto diet but don't know where to start! Your doing a great job!
[QUOTE=Mirrorgazing;489120531]Where do you get your keto products from? I am very interested in a keto diet but don't know where to start! Your doing a great job![/QUOTE]
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Get my keto "products" from? You mean my supplements or food? Supps I buy from BB.com or swansons. If you mean my meal plan, I buy stuff at the grocery store...on keto though, you just have to have a meal plan laid out.
Do you know much about keto? Its principles? How it works? I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction and answer questions for you.
I honestly have no clue where to start. I am actually starting my diet today. I had a bowl of special k with skim milk for dinner last night. So I have no clue what I'm doing. Also I suck at cooking.
Hey mtfx
Got links to your latest pics?
Interested to see how you are progressing

Erm.............you cant use Special K and milk on Keto, Im afraid. Read the stickies for more info. Special K and milk are too high in carbs, which is what you are trying to avoid. Max 20g carbs per day UNLESS you are doing a carb up.
I went through your thread and congrats! You'll get your goal weight in time, I'm sure :) Good luck :) We have to keep focusing!
Wow. I didn't realize you had lost so quickly. Good job.
Yo MTFX,
Thanks for checking out the start of my KETO log and the advice. Looks like you are doing a great job so far! Love to see all the people in here following. I will also be keeping daily track of mine so any other help/advise will be appreciated. I will be starting officially on the 15th so it is coming.
How is your energy now? How are your lifts and strength?
Keep it up bro!
[QUOTE=Simpy;489424011]Wow. I didn't realize you had lost so quickly. Good job.[/QUOTE]
x2! Great job, Brandon :)
wow...thanks guys! :) I wasnt expecting to see so many people comment in here so quickly...there are like 8 new posts since last night...that is so humbling, thanks again!
@ Max: I decided to post in 4 week increments...so the last set of pics was at the 4 week mark. I intend to then takes pics at the end (june 1 or so) of the cut phase.

@ unexpect: Thanks man, I appreciate it...hard work, but I am getting there.
@ simpy: Thanks! You are back onboard too arent you? We will drop in no time.
@ steve: thanks bro, Im just trying to make my guns look as big as yours!

Sounds like a delicious carb up! Are you sure youre getting enough carbs in there though??
[QUOTE=EngUAFitness;489915511]Sounds like a delicious carb up! Are you sure youre getting enough carbs in there though??[/QUOTE]
It was pretty amazing, im not gonna lie. As far as "to the T" I dont measure my carb ups, I eat carbs and stop when im full or feel woozy, as the carb ups will do that to me. I also have to watch bloat, and when I feel it come on, I stop eating as well.
[B]NOTE ::[/B]
I only gained 4 pounds on my carb up! YAY
Nice carb up! Those Enchilada's sound amazing.
I had some pizza last night...trying to eat some carbs before I start my KETO!

Yeah, really...they are more like burritos. She slow cooks the meat in a crock pot for 8 hours...with who knows what as spices. Then fills a tortilla up with the meat and cheese, rolls em, tops those with green sauce...more cheese and bakes them. They. Are. Amazing.
dang. It will be done. And ated.

My pecs were so effin jacked...I couldnt get my arm close to my body...arnold is so right about the pump. You guys...you know...
