Diet and Eating Right

[CS1983]

So I'm guessing IF is intermittent fasting?

yes.

I do IF and Keto.

It makes it easier for me to limit my total calories. I stop eating at 8PM and I don't start again until 11:30-12:00 the next day. I do coffee/heavy whipping cream/stevia early in the morning, so I guess it's not a complete fast from 8-12, but it helps in the morning. I'm targeting 1800 calories a day in an effort to drive my weight loss a bit more effectively. Before I would eat keto approved foods if/when I was hungry, and I was losing weight, but it wasn't as fast when I was eating 2-3+K calories a day. Now with the limited calories, it is really starting to come off again.

It takes a bit to get used to, but in the end I feel better when I go for that long not eating. It's hard to describe, but I've bounced back and forth between IF and not, and I have also started and fallen off of Keto, and am now back on it.

The difference in my energy level and the way I feel is great.

Premier Protein shakes from Costco or Sam's Club. 160 calories, 30g protein, and 2 net carbs. These in my opinion are the best. They just taste pretty good.

MetRx meal replacement.

You can find it at GNC, I order mine online at DPS Nutrition. Chocolate is best. Vanilla works, but needs some flavoring added (I use cinnamon) to make it work.

A bit of an update on my most recent Keto stint. I started the begging of the year at around 188 give or take, and to date my lowest has been 168. I haven't been nearly as strict this time around, to the point where it may be more of a low carb diet, and not full on Keto (I don't test myself or anything). I ate a ton this winter and lifted heavily, so I'm hoping to have more lean muscle mass this summer.

I find doing pull-ups at 165 way easier than at 210.

Oh absolutely, I'm shooting for 20 pull ups in the next month, up to 12 in my first set as of today, full dead hang pull ups, not kip or whatever they are called. Ultimate goal is muscle ups for reps, my beginning sets of pull ups feel powerful enough, and I can go all day on dips, it's just putting the two together (kind of).

Kips are like pull-ups for LARPers. lol
