    NickelArse's IF LCHF Bulletproof Log

    I've already got a lifting log here but thought I'd post up a nutrition log as well because that's probably where my current passion lies. I use myfitnesspal to track macros and calories so I should be posting up daily updates similar to workingthedream

    I'm looking forward to sharing some of my recipes and philosophies on how to get the most out of ketosis.

    Here's a quick background anyway (it's about a months out of date so a few things have changed)

    Age: 30 (20/08/1984)
    Height: 181cm
    Weight: 81kg
    Bodyfat: ~13%
    Body type: Mesomorphic I guess but I have a very narrow waist considering the width of my shoulders and my legs used to be extraordinarily skinny. I've since been able to put a bit of bulk on my thighs but my calves are basically non-existent. So I guess Mesomorphic upper body and Ectomorphic legs.
    Qualifications: I've enrolled in Tafe SA's Certificate III in Fitness but don't start until January. I would plan to complete a Certificate IV one I've finished the III
    Sports: None
    Supps:
    Have tried pretty much everything under the sun but at the moment I'm taking
    • The One (original formula) pre workout
    • AAKG, Beta Alanine from Bulk Nutrients pre and intra workout
    • Creatine from Bulk Nutrients (14g per day)
    • WPC and WPI from proteindirect.com.au
    • Also consume a daily Bullet Proof Coffee that consists of 10g grass fed butter, 10g organic coconut oil and 10g cacao butter with a long black espresso. Not a true BP coffee but I love it nonetheless
    Diet: Currently following a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) and Intermittent Fasting (IF) diet including daily Bullet Proof Coffee consumption (post workout, it's the best), I usually limit carbs to less than 50 grams a day but don't count calories any more and don't hesitate to have a cheat day.

    From May to September of this year I was able to lose 9 kilos with relative ease using the aforementioned strategies combined with regular (once or twice a week) 24 hour fasts with morning cardio sessions (both steady state and HIIT). If that doesn't make any sense I'll break it down for you.
    • Dinner on Tuesday at 8pm
    • Cardio session in the morning
    • Bullet Proof Coffee at 3pm (or a minimum of 2 hours prior to dinner). The great thing about a BP coffee when you're fat adapted is it allows your body to continue burning fat and prevents your body going catabolic. It keeps you in the fasted state (by not raising insulin) but prevents muscle loss
    • Dinner at 8pm on Wednesday breaking a 24 hour fast
    Not currently performing the 24 hour fasts as I'm looking to focus on strength gains. Won't hesitate to use them again if I want to drop my body fat though.

    Have had great success in the past with a leangains.com, If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) style IF diet with a 16/8 fast/feed. 2000 cals on rest days (high fat) 2300 on training days (high carb). About 500 cals deficient per day. Was able to lose 10kgs from January to June of 2013 and then a further 3kgs from June to July with a strict calorie controlled (2000 cals per day) ketogenic diet for a total weight loss of 13kgs (see pics below) Unfortunately I found the constant calorie counting too arduous and burnt myself out.


    Past: GF of 4.5 years broke up with me in October 2008 and I decided the first order of business was to get my physique back. To that point I'd intermittently played sport and done a few weights here and there but hadn't laced up my adidas trainers in anger for at least 3 years (only exercise was a small amount of water skiing) and was eating terribly. I would have been about 77kgs at that point but probably around the 25% body fat mark

    Short term goal: Strength gains without putting on too much size (don't want to "bulk") but some amount of hypertrophy is expected
    Long term goal: Keep doing whatever keeps me looking and feeling good in the easiest possible way. Then use my qualification to educate people on making good lifestyle decisions for the betterment of their long-term health.

    Strategy: Diet strategies already listed

    Training: 6 day split 6 days a week. This is effectively a 3 day split done in 2 different ways alternating either High Weight/Low Rep then Low Weight/High Rep which looks like this


    Heavy Weight/Low Rep Back and Triceps


    Light Weight/High Rep Legs and Delts


    Heavy Weight/Low Rep Chest and Biceps


    Light Weight/High Rep Back and Triceps


    Heavy Weight/Low Rep Legs and Delts


    Light Weight/High Rep Chest and Biceps


    As you can see, muscles that share minimal synergists are combined to allow maximum output on each muscle group. Structuring my workouts this way has proved very successful, allowing me to workout more often with more time for my body to recover from the intense ultra low volume sessions


    Current PB's:
    Bench: 100 x 2
    Squat: 110 x 8
    Deadlift: 140 x 5
    Press: 60 x 3
    Wide Grip Pull Ups Weighted 25kg x 6

    Narrow Grip Tricep Dips Weighted 25kg x 8

    Currently at my PBs on all fronts except Squat (110kg x 5) and Bench (95kg x 4) but will be expecting to push through those in the next month or so.

    Goals:
    Look good and feel better. Set myself up for a long healthy existence.

    I use tapatalk to post on an aussie bb forum then just copy the post ([img] tags included) straight across using the bb.com app

    Either way you can setup a tapatalk profile then upload pics from your phone and it will create an [img] tagged image you can copy across, even if you don't post it anywhere else.

    Sound good to me, you can also use grated cauliflower to make a rice substitute for days when you're not carb refeeding.

    Something like this

    Bullet Proof coffee (either with coconut oil or pure MCT Oil) is an excellent way to stay in ketosis even if you up your carbohydrate intake. The body can not metabolise MCT oil without ketones. Just having my post workout BP coffee now

    Hey I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.

    I hear you on taking it easy. Whatever keeps you consistent, right?

    However, there is also this:

    "It's amazing how putting weight on your back can lift the world off your shoulders"

    Aren't there positive neurological/hormonal responses to lifting over a certain % of your max? I should look that up.

    Anyways, good luck to you and keep truckin'

    Thanks mate

    In other news I'm getting back into the gym which is good. I'm back to my unfit weight which is ~90kgs. I'm leaving for London in a month so I'm going to spend my last 4 weeks here training the house down to try and drop some fat before I leave.

    thanks!
    I'll go into more detail when I can find some of my recipes but a lot of my keto intake revolves around

    >Thai style coconut milk curries with veg (no rice obviously)
    >Pasta sauces with roast or steamed veg instead of pasta
    >I have an awesome chicken shop across the road, so roast chicken is often on the menu
    >I love cooking my burger pizza (a pepperoni pizza with a spiced beef patty replacing the pizza base)
    >Omelettes and scrambled eggs with cheese and cream
    >Naked burritos with guacamole and sour cream
    >Dark chocolate for dessert
