Crazy Comparison

-
Last month I was doing an amazing job on keto.

I lowered my weekly average of carbohydrates from the first month.
I raised fat up to where my protein level was and eventually surpassed it

It was a great time and I could tell it was working for me.

Little did I know what was going to happen in month 3.

Month 3


For month 3, I decided to trust fat more.

I did that by
  • keeping carbohydrates around 20.
  • Limiting protein to around 70g.
  • And relying on fat to get me through the rest.

I soon realized I was going to need to supplement fat so I decided to do this with Bullet Proofing Coffee and Tea

In the beginning, it was a rocky start. I wasn't so sure I could pull this off. My first Bullet Proofing ended up a failure. I wrote about it here.

But I didn't give up

As a result, I now have two recipes

I also have some interesting pictures to share. 

Statistics


This is month 2


Notice the calorie restriction?

This is month 3


 
Note the uptick in calories? 

I'm consuming a ton more calories now then I did in month 1 or 2. 

Interestingly enough. My weight is plummeting! My goal in month 3 wasn't to lose weight. 



I'm also stronger. I was able to blow through several personal records this week alone. 


I was over 300 lbs 2 years ago! This is crazy!

I'm sold with riding this wave all month long. 

Looking forward to month 4!

My Response to FitToFatToFit Episode 4 with Alex and Geoff

So I was watching Fit to Fat to Fat Ep 4 today and I got to admit. In the beginning I did not like the trainer. He embodied the stereotype of why I didn't get into fitness. Or that's the story I tell myself. Alexander Delacruz is a weight loss dietitian from Los Angeles and man alive, he put me off immediately. I mean, I've seen 3 of the shows so far and I love the series but I was about to turn the TV off and go do something more productive with my life instead of listening to this jerk.

Fighting Frustrations

-
I got frustrated last week because I wasn't as flexible as I wanted to be. I mean, it's only been 36 years of me trying not to stretch, why can't a perfect it in 2 weeks, right? Ridiculous, right? I laughed it off until I realize I do it all the time. I remember, I spent years tying to perfect a way to quit smoking. Guess what? The right conditions never fell into place. The puzzle never solved itself for me. Outside Half Priced Books, I scrambled to get far enough away from my 9 month boy, John to light a cigarette. When I did, he reached up his read to see where I was and what I was doing, then frowned a heartbreaking frown. It was that moment when the distance between where I was and where I wanted to be became too painful. there, I decided to take my first imperfect step to quit. Guess what? I didn't get it right the first time. I stumbled and immediately reached again for a cigarette. Many times I did this on my imperfect journey quitting. But in the end, gi...

Rocket Science

You don't need to know Rocket Science to lose weight. Of course, it helps to become knowledgeable in nutrition if you want to go far. But if you're just looking to lose 20 pounds, it's pretty easy. Eat Less Do More ZenHabit's summed it up even better in this article . A diet is healthy when it: gives your body nutrients it needs, without giving you too many calories (too many calories leads to obesity over time), or unhealthy things (like too much saturated or trans fat, nitrates, excess sodium, unhealthy chemicals). It's that easy... in the beginning. Of course the next natural questions are How many calories should I consume daily? What nutrients do my body need? Great news! There are apps for that. I use MyFitnessPal. Another great one is LoseIt. They are both free and help you track calories and nutrients. Of course, they only work if you use them.
