The Silent Keto Log

**thesilent1** · 01-29-2009, 02:51 PM

Thanks dude; means a lot to hear that.

**rtmiii** · 01-29-2009, 03:12 PM

Wish I had some pics to show a difference over the past two months, but there hasnt been one.

I am sort of on a mini-Velocity plan right now. Scale shows 192 this morning. That is four pounds this week, but that was probably just water and other foods that I ate to get up to 196

.

**Gordon Bombay** · 01-29-2009, 03:18 PM

wow big difference in those pics Silent.

how much do you weigh now?

**dodgeman967** · 01-30-2009, 05:07 AM

Looking good silent! Keep up the great work.

Cheers dude; strangely enough the scales still say 196! On the one hand its very frustrating but even I have to agree the pics do show a change so I am not too upset (emphasis on the TOO lol)

Now that I have increased cals to around 2K lets hope either pics or scales show some change for the better.

Cheers dodgeman!

**TikiCabales** · 02-01-2009, 12:53 PM

I just saw yours progress pics - you've made excellent progress so far!

One thing I wanted to point out is, the High Fat/Moderate Protein is fine but, you might notice that the bulk of your calories are coming from fats - which limits the amount protein you might be able to fit into your diet. Switching over to High Protein/Moderate Fats will guarantee that you'll be getting sufficient amounts of both to maintain and possibly build more muscle. *just a thought*

Btw, I wanted to say - Thank You!
You're always so positive, supportive, and encouraging - not only to me but, to everyone!

**thesilent1** · 02-01-2009, 02:51 PM

You sweetie!!! Thanks for the VERY kind words; I guess you guys bring out the soft side of me! lol

On the protein side of things, I agree and hence why I have increased it to around the 160g per day mark and so will se how that goes and evaluate fom there.

Have a lovely week and stay happy hon!

see you all tomorrow.

Keep smiling all.

**mygame11** · 02-02-2009, 02:18 PM

Hey, your meals are not boring! You should mine the last couple of days. How long have you been on keto now? Consistently?

**thesilent1** · 02-03-2009, 03:00 PM

Hey mygame; started keto around the 1st properly. carb up is every 2 weeks.

I am actually thinking about a 3 week carb up as I seem to just put back all that I lost and it takes me ages to lose it all again but have read from here that we need the carb up; still not sure.

Today's log:

AM - 30min cardio

M1 - 5 eggs and 2 bacon
M2 - 2 sausages
M3 - tin salmon and asparagus
M4 - 2 frankfurter hotdogs
M5 - 200g mine meat and veggies

Total 1,970cals 149.2gF (65%) 13.9gC (5%) 135.7gP (30%)

PM - rest

Low on the protein but was out on the road most of today.

not much to say; tired! lol

**LongbowFoSho** · 02-03-2009, 03:12 PM

Expectations can drive you nuts, but the pics tell the whole story, man. You've obviously made progress and it shows. Keep it up.

Oh ok...nice! I was just curious how long. Seems like it is working well for you!
The carb-ups are, imo, up in the air and different for different people. I will tell you what I have been told. Do not carb up unless you feel as though you have to. I am going on 3-4 weeks...none yet. Just NOW seeing nice progress...I mean other than the water weight and the initial crap leaving your body!

**RubberGuard** · 02-04-2009, 02:03 PM

Found your log bro....

very interested to see if upping your kcals will kickstart weight loss. Maybe you should take measurements and track progress that way too?

**thesilent1** · 02-04-2009, 02:06 PM

Yeah, I am trying a longer carb up this time. This saturday would be 2 weeks but I have decided to hold off my carb up till valentine's as me and wifey are going out (she would kill me if I sounded weird at the restaurant!!! lol) so it would be 3 weeks and will see if any changes in the strength side of things.

On a scary note though; had a tiny bit of chocolate today that almost turned into a frenzy!! LOL the human body and mind is so amazing; I just felt like going to the shops and getting a whole tub of chocolate and ice cream!!! LOL

Did not though but def went over cals today. I do not think I did enough to throw me out of keto anyway; just tasted so nice though.

Okay today's log:

AM - 45min cardio

M1 - 6 eggs in butter
M2 - 2 sausages and 1 frankfurter
M3 - pwo whey in water
M4 - Mince meat and asparagus
M5 - tin salmon and spicy mayo (nice!!)

Total 2,059cals 142.7gF (63%) 11.9gC (3%) 171.4gP (34%)

This does not include the "evil brown balls aka chocolate!!!" so I would say around 2200cals in total.

PM - back, abs and cardio
DLs 3x100kg (8,8,6)
db rows 3x38kg (8,8,8)
lat downs 3x72.5kg (8,8,8)
cg rows 3x72.5 (8,8,5)

abs - 3x20crunches

20mins cardio

Was a good day in the gym; I must say back is my favourite part to work. I seem to be able to keep pusing without fear for injury; something I can't do on chest except with a gym buddy around for safety.

Right, all for now. Wifey is in Poland with work so me and my son are having a boys night!!! LOL no cooking for him; Macdonalds, staying up late and sleeping nude! lol

This is the life! until the boss gets back tomorrow.

**Black_Spit** · 02-04-2009, 02:27 PM

Awesome work bro... Keep it up.

Keep up the great work man. Chocolate is EVIL. LOL never get enough!!!

**RubberGuard** · 02-05-2009, 11:29 AM

Just spotted your progress pics and you're in much better nick than me! I've got too much stubborn fat that'll take a lot of work to burn.

You should hit a front and rear double bi shot and post it up, guaranteed you'll look decent.

You've got a good balanced build there, rip it up and you'll look awesome!

Stay strong....

Sounds like a winner! The difference really does show. Keep at it!

**thesilent1** · 02-05-2009, 02:01 PM

Today's log:

AM - No cardio as was snowed in!!!! Damn you nature! lol

M1 - 6 eggs in butter
M2 - 2 sausages
M3 - tin salmon and asparagus
M4 - 200g mine meat and veggies
Total 1,913cals 144.9gF (69%) 14.4gC (2%) 133.2gP (29%)
Low on the protein but hey!

PM - Rest. Not much else to say but feeling bloated today.

Was a slow day as indoors all of today. Hope the snow is not worst tomorrow.

**mygame11** · 02-05-2009, 02:49 PM

Lucky dog! You got snow!

**RubberGuard** · 02-05-2009, 03:14 PM

Is it not better to be short on fat calories rather than protein? I always thought it was imperative to maintain 1lb of protien per lb of lean mass.

I guess so; I will have to keep an eye on that.

Mygame; Not when you want to go to the gym!! LOL

**thesilent1** · 02-06-2009, 01:02 PM

And the snow got worse so my gym was closed; selfish monkeys!!!! LOL

Today's log (very short)

Total 2,081cals 156.7gF (68%) 11.0gC (2%) 149.7gP (30%)

Still do not like the figures as I want at least 170g protein and work everything else around that.

Oh well, all for now. Wifey is back now so not enough time online! lol

See you all.

**jecristragedy** · 02-06-2009, 01:23 PM

ew i hate when they close the gym due to snow!
