100 Day Keto Diet

[Tyler9219]

Day 7

251.7lb
Down 9.4lb

Got the scale to move back down! I took my one week progress photo today and I am pretty happy. I just want the progress to keep going because I have a long long ways to go. I'm buying body fat calipers today so I can see exactly where I am at and exactly how far I need to go. I think I want around 10-12% body fat. I'm hoping I can actually reach that.

Day 2

252.7lb
Down 8.4lb

Ugh. That's all I can say I guess. I think Im going to up my cardio and see how things start to go.

[Tyler9219]

Day 9

254.7lb
Down 4.4lb

So I found out I am 24% body fat. In order to get to 10% body fat I have to get down to 215 lb. I think I can do that in all honesty. I just have to figure out why the scale is going up right now?! Anybody help?!

Few questions.
1) Are you weighing yourself at the same time every day? I prefer to do it in the morning before breakfast but after my morning leak. Helps get all the water out and post impressive numbers haha!
2) Are you tracking your calories correctly? I measure things on a food scale using grams instead of going by cups.

If you're gaining weight, it's because you're eating more calories than you are burning.

Day 10

254.4 lb
Down 5.7 lb

Scale went down again. Let's hope it keeps going!

Down 7.9lb

Thanks for the reply! I am weighing myself at the same time everyday and I am using my fitness pal to track everything for me.

Can you give us a run down of what your eating? Maybe we can give you some advice on switching up your foods.

My list of foods I have been eating are as follows:

Eggs
Bacon
Sausage
Beef
Steak
Chicken
Caesar salad dressing
Ranch dressing
Romaine lettuce
Green beans
Heavy whipping cream
Shredded cheddar cheese
Block sharp cheddar cheese
Pepperoni
Salami
Mozzarella cheese sticks
Cream cheese
Sour cream


If I remember others I will post them. Thanks for the help

The food choices don't mean much in terms of losing weight. Could you perhaps photograph your meals for one day. I think that would give us a better indication of how MUCH you're eating, which is more important than WHAT you're eating.

[danfleysher]

but you got the scale to go down again! Nice!

[OsamaAlk1997]

Solid progress brother ! What I would advice you to do is take a weekly average and judge upon that , don't judge on your weight daily because weight can easily fluctaute from day to day , if I were you I would weigh my self each morning on an empty stomach and take a weekly average from week to week and see how it's going but other than that great progress keep it up ! .

Day 24

246.8lb
Down 14.3 lb
Approx 20% body fat

Haven't weighed in for a while now, but I am glad to see what the scale is at! I decided to keep at it and not weigh in for a bit so I did not get discouraged! Still don't have enough posts to post a progress picture yet, but I hopefully can get there soon!

[Tyler9219]

I will be posting progress pictures on my BodySpace profile since I cannot upload them to this forum yet

Good work, keep it up. I did want to say you are probably overestimating how much LBM by a lot (I could be wrong), probably a good 20lb, that really doesn't matter though. Just keep it up and you'll be there in no time.

so would I be a higher body fat percentage? I just use the calipers and I average the four readings that I take

[knowledgeEpower]

Yes and I didn't even take a close look at your pic, but it would put you in rare company having that amount. A few days ago you estimated yourself at 6'0 255 24%, that would put you at 194lb LBM. The FFMI (pretty well respected) would tell you this:

If you were 135lb LBM (average for 6') at 247lb you'd be 45%
If you were 160lb LBM (top 5% for 6') at 247lb you'd be 35%
If you were 182lb LBM (pretty much genetic max for 6') at 247lb you'd be 26.5%

Oh okay. I just use the calipers and caliper sheet formula to get the answer. I don't doubt that you're correct, I just don't have any other way to take the bf%.

Keto or Vegan what's the more ethical diet? ?

Keto, obviously, because carbs have feelings, too.

[doievenlifttho]

I really like this idea, I'm also 22 and ~30% (I think)

The headaches are a side-effect of getting adapted to ketosis. They'll go away from 5 till 10 days and then you'll feel full of energy.

[Tyler9219]

Hello to everybody who has followed this log here. I know I have not logged in for a while now. Admittedly I have not been doing keto. I fell off of the bus. However, I jumped back on it last week and I'm ready to start giving updates again.....

Admittedly, I got up to 263.1lb. Lots of bad eating habits led up to the weight gain. I don't feel that my calipers offer a very consistent measurement, so I'd estimate around 30-32%...

Here's where I stand as of right now, after 7 days of keto. My strips are telling me that I am showing small-moderate amounts of ketones.

Day 7
252.4lb
Down 8.7lb

I'll be posting my meals today once i have all of it organized.

[Tyler9219]

Day 10

250.8lbs
Down 12. 3 lbs

So I'm about to pass the 250 mark, which makes me really happy.... Progress pictures will be posted here soon... I'm going on vacation for a week and that will be a total challenge because I want to stay on keto....

[Sarumyan]

Keep going man.

Unfortunately cheat days happen - for those, I recommend holding off eating as long as possible. Taking a big dose of caffeine and eating a huge ass salad before anything.

Then eat things you missed but try to be moderate.
