Stalling
Well it seems I’ve hit a plateau. I’ve been hovering between 148 and 150 - up and down up and down. My body really doesn’t seem to want to leave the 50’s. Too bad.
So I’m going to go on the Keto diet. This diet will, actually, be a bit more lenient than my current one as I will get a cheat/carb up day on the weekends so that will help with cravings (and me going completely insane). So far I’ve had no cheat days (except for the occassional insane crack up where I cackle manically as I eat an old half eaten cookie), so this will be a relief.
Low carb tortilla = ****load of delicious burritos. I am stoked.
And the keto recipe section is looking to be very helpful as well.
Oh and I think I’m back down a size in the pants (never know it could just be those particular pants, but hey I’ll take it lol)
Now for the quest of almond flour and other low carb rarities..

Have you done a low carb or Keto style diet before? If you’re not used to it, they’re not very fun! I read through some of your posts here, if you’re hitting plateaus it’s typically going to be due to either too many calories or not enough exercise. Have you calculated your baseline BMR and compared that to your daily caloric intake? If you need some guidance in this area I can point you in the right direction. I write a lot about these things at www.dietforadollar.com
If you don’t find what you’re looking for there, send me a note with what you’re trying to accomplish and I can give you some tips.
Take care~

Before I think the plateaus were due to too many calories. What I assumed/had tested via calipers my bf% was off, I finally tested myself via "bodpod" and yeah quite a bit off. I’ve done CDK before a few years back. So far it’s been a cake walk. Like I mention my previous diet was very limiting to right now this is awesome. The only thing I hate is the taste it leaves. Thank you for your comment and interest =]
