New year, new diary, new me.

Let's get into it! Woooo.

So this is what I've been doing since mid November.

-Fairly strict keto lifestyle and weights training and calisthenics, mixed with some HIIT.

-Keeping my carbs down to a maximum of 20 a day. That's my personal goal, I may go over here and there, but not by much.

-14 hours fasting. So my dinner will be consumed before the clock hits 6 PM. I won't eat again until the next day 8 AM. I've been doing this for a bit and it's not bad. Sleep, exercise, showering, dressing, making my breakfast will most of that time up to begin with. It's not really hard for me. Sometimes I end up going 16 hours.

-Weighing in on Monday's... not sure if it will be a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly ordeal. Definitely tomorrow though.

Sunday used to be the worst day for me. I love football so I'd sit all day and eat and just watch all the games being a lazy bum. Now that I've got structure in my life I have done really well at avoiding the same mistakes. Now I move around during the game, can still watch, but increasing some activity. I'm far more conscious of what I eat now too. A bit of pork rinds help though. And generally I've cut out all the unnecessary exited/bored eating. Channeling myself down a better path to a healthier me.

Today I completed my fast at 8:45 this morning and made myself a smoothie. I've been doing this the past few weeks and have found I really like it. It packs in a lot of protein and fat for my macros, and has just a few carbs, gets me through most of the day. It can be on the higher side of calories, however, but rolling with keto it's still a bit of a challenge to go over my calories for the day.

1 avocado
2 tablespoon of ground flaxseed
1/2 cup of water
5-6 pieces of ice
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1/4 cup of coconut milk
1-2 scoops of whey protein (using chocolate brownie fudge this week)

Anywhoooo... I hope 2016 is YOUR year for what your goals. I know it will be for mine. Stay committed, don't ever give up.
 
You seem to have planned it properly. I am not sure I agree with your method though, but I am by no mean a professional.

Good luck!
 
Looking good, you have been making good progress so far.

and as kaplooie said it is always great to have another ketoer on here, you will find that a lot of people do not understand this way of eating, but the science is available to back it up.

Keto On

ps. I was going to give you rep for your new thread but I have to spread the rep love around a bit more before I can give you rep again lol

SoI will instead :D. Go you dude! Here's to a very healthy & positive year for us all, xoxo
 
Congrats on the successful start and the plan.

Many paths to the same goals. I'm non-keto plant-based but if I swap out a pea protein isolate for the whey protein I could go for one of those power smoothies.
 
What don't you agree with, HugoJH? You've got my curious.

Keto life!

KnowAndDo, I'd give a pea protein isolate a chance with the recipe. Thanks for the idea!

Appreciate the comments, hope you all have a great 2016.
