Final thoughts after completing 10 Weeks on the Keto Diet.

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

This was definitely not an easy diet. The first week was absolutely brutal, my energy levels were non existent and training, for once, felt like a chore, which is not usually the case because I love it. Second week was a lot better and the third, and thereafter, was just routine. The first few weeks you really tend to count the days until your next carb-up but after 4-5 weeks it’s more like "oh shit it’s already carb-up day?" It really becomes routine and your energy levels are pretty normal so training also becomes easier. All this mumbo-jumbo aside, the results really speak for themselves. I only managed to lose about 5-6 pounds over these 10 weeks but I lost several inches (almost 2 in my waist) and I really tightened up, got a lot more definition overall, even in my upper legs and midsection where it was really lacking the most.

Couple of things I want to also mention before concluding Keto. If you choose to do this diet, make sure you SERIOUSLY use a fibre supplement! I’ll be straight up with you, no toning it down cause I’m a "proper lady." Taking a shit on this diet is a flippin’ mission and a half! No fibre = no poop, and no poop = not a happy camper! Also, if you are female, yes I’ll address that too, this diet seriously ****s with your menstrual cycle so be aware of that. I’m usually very regular, most times I can call it to the day, not on this diet, I would say it was almost completely random! So again, just a word of warning, something to keep in mind, don’t loose too much sleep over it if this happens to you.

All that aside, this is pretty much the only diet I will ever do when I want to cut again. I already know how it works, what foods to buy/make to keep it somewhat interesting. I am really happy with the results I got on it but I need a break and with winter coming this is the perfect time to put on some mass and get cut again for summer, so I think this will be my game plan for the next several months.

Tomorrow I will take some progress pics and post my final measurements and then it’s morphin’ time! :D

Before my carb-up in Week 9

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Holy smokes it’s Week 9! Honestly at this point Keto is just part of my routine, I woke up this morning, ate my lardtastic breakfast and it wasn’t until later that I realized I get to have my precious carbs later on today!

Anyway, things have been going pretty good. Everything is on track, I feel great and I’m still making progress so no complains there. Except for… haha, time for a confession! So last weekend was my 25th birthday weekend, needless to say, my carb-up was a COMPLETE disaster!!! The week went by as planed, no slip-ups, great workouts, I even went in on Friday to do my final depletion workout and then I went home and had my birthday cake! Following that I went out, had some drinks, had some pizza, and had more birthday cake! I sort of binged :S Then since it was Halloween, I had some treats… My god looking back at it now I feel like I should have been the Cookie Monster for Halloween cause I just ate whatever the hell fell on my lap! Saturday was a bit better tho, didn’t pig out on too much shit, but probably burned off a lot of those cals at the Halloween party I attended on Saturday night where I pretty much danced my ass off for no less then 4 hours straight!

Sunday I was back on track and this week was absolutely flawless! I actually ended up doing a shit load of cardio as a result of my crap-eating carb-up, and I think it did me good cause I lost half a pound since last Friday so I’m pretty happy with that. Cause trust me, I was a flippin’ monster last weekend!

But yes, things are going GREAT, I’m at 136 lbs as of this morning, I have my depletion workout still to do in about 3 hours and this carb-up will be CLEAN, & that is a promise :)
