What's up my fellow weight loss friends. Haven't posted in so long, but I'm happy to say that I'm still making great
Progress.
Started keto January 6 2012, at 400lbs (6'2") and as of this morning I'm down to 329lbs (still a big dude I know) but I feel great, I'm loving this new lifestyle of mine. My attitude towards life has changed, I was on antidepressants for 4 years prior to starting keto and now I don't take any medication or feel depressed any more
Since I started keto, I have only cheated once and it was planned. Sometimes I feel like having a cheat day and eating a plate of pasta, but that feeling quickly subsides and I don't want it any longer.
I feel that I want to start working out, and gain some muscle to go with my ever shrinking physique. What would some of you guys recommend? I'm hearing good things about insanity, and a lot of what I read says a "powerlifting" routine really helps.
I work a very physically demanding construction job, so I can deal with some physical stress. Currently I can do 10 pushups (lol I think that's pretty good for my weight) and I want to increase my strength more than anything (it would help a lot with my job)
Oh and one more thing. Currently I'm trying this intermittent fasting routine, my first meal of the day comes at 12 (lunch) and my last meal is around dinner 630-7 and so far it's working great and I find I actually have more energy at work during the day while I'm in a "fasted" state (does that make sense?)
Any advice or tips anyone can offer would be great, I'm really digging this keto lifestyle and can see myself continuing this for a long long time.
Thanks GAF
