I started about June 1st.
SW = 495
CW= 425
GW= God knows… Smaller & healthier
Weighed in with caution today as I was up a pound last week after a 5-day road trip. I’m down about 6 pounds today. Here’s a snap of my progress to date.
I am very pleased with the progress.
Here’s my problem: I’ve spent the last 6-7 weeks trying a little this and a little that to “dial in” what works for me.
I “was” pretty strict keto, eating “to hit my macros”. I ate a lot 3x per day. It worked.
Then I cut my carbs to sub-20g/day, lowered my proteins to match my LBM needs and didnt worry abt whether fats were hit… Still eating 3x per day. It also worked.
This last week, I stayed sub-20 on carbs, stayed with abt 60-100g protein, but only ate fats as hunger demanded. Also, I only ate when hungry, which turned into a 20-4 or 23-1 OMAD regimen.
This resulted in a sharp drop in daily caloric intake… Which many in keto warn about.
This pattern ALSO worked.
I feel good. I’m not starving.
I’m leery/afraid of EF eating.
I’m feeling like I should go back to “true” keto, but part of me wants to venture forth.
I’m waiting for the wheels to come off this freight train I’m on.
