Need some insight from those have been on or are on the journey I started about 3 weeks ago.
First I understand its going to take time - my goal is to do this as fast as is possible and safe - I dont want to slow my metabolism if possible.
I was on keto before and did well - I did learn alot of things like I am severely insulin resistant and need to fast to really get into ketosis
I use a meter to measure ketones and blood sugar a couple of times a week.
I plan on not weighing my self except one time a month. Will use things such as clothes fitting and body measurements to determine everyday progress.
According to the calculator my current maintenance calories are right around 3500 per day.
I am currently doing Strength training apx 3 to 5 days per week for 1 hour.
Current eating time table (alternate day fasting):
Monday, Wednesday Friday water only fast.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - break fast at 3 pm and stop food intake at 7 pm
Sunday - eat only Keto foods and stay within macros but allow myself to eat 3 meals if I want as it is family time.
Supplements:
Currently only taking Potassium, Sodium, Iodine and apple cider vinegar daily
Current Macro Nutritional Averages:
6% Carbs
58% Fat
36% Protein
Challange:
Am I getting enough Calories - on the days I eat between 3 and 7 I find it challenging to get 2200 to 2800 calories in. Just get too full. As I am only eating every other day is this too low and will it hurt my metabolism?
Are my fat and Protein Macros ok given I want my body to use my stores rather than dietary fat.
Where I am:
Feeling great
Good energy
Not overwhelm by hunger doing alternate day fasting (dont feel like I want or need to stop)
Inflammation way down through out body.
Any suggestions to improve what I am doing with my goal in mind - my goal is to do this as fast as is possible and safe - I dont want to slow my metabolism if possible
