I just don’t get it! So I train quite hard in the gym and count every last calorie and macro that touches my mouth. I was eating a low carb low fat diet to lose my last little bits of fat. I use to be three hundred pounds. I got all the way down to 178 using this diet and ran marathons and all sorts. But hit a point where I couldn’t lose any weight. I just want to get my six pack back from my college baseball days ! Which was only two years ago. but now I weigh 175 here’s the thing I weighed 172 when I got done losing all that water weight with Keto… I am eating the same amount of calories… I’ve had eating disorders lots of them and know that I shouldn’t care about the scale… especially because my gym has one of the hand held machines that tell you your body fat and I went from like 11 percent all the way to 8 or 9 percent body fat. I get that they aren’t the most accurate but I’m feeling frustrated because I’ve been on Keto for about a month and am in a deep state of ketosis. If I’m building muscle it’s hard to see because I feel like my stomach is bigger maybe I’m bloated I don’t know I’m also 6 foot… I have gotten into body building and decided I want to cut down before I bulk up. I guess I just need support or any advice on maybe why I’m bloated. I know I can reduce my calories but I am one of the unlucky ones that is never full on Keto.
Sorry for the crazy rant I’m just feeling frustrated on why if I’m not really lifting more weight yet. And my body fat is going down why am I gaining weight and not looking the way I want. I will say though mentally I feel fuckingsharp excuse the language but I do feel good on that end and i wake up a lot easier. But my sleep is crazy bad and energy is all over the place some days it’s great others not so much I’m just not sure what’s going on haha.
