Aga’s BBlog

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!
