Just finished my 2nd week on the keto diet... been getting strong readings on the ketone-sticks...
Here are my results:
Weight lost so far = 2lbs
Inches off waist = half an inch or so...
Inches off chest = not even that ^^
So I am wondering if anyone can advise me why the such crap results?
I'm gona stick to the diet another week or 2, throw in 30mins cardio on all my non-lifting days (low intensity - about 120bpm on a bike)... see if that makes a diff.... maybe cut out foods sooner before bed...
My first week on the diet i lost like 6lbs or so and that first inch off my stomach, but after the first carb up last week it all came back even tho I've been in ketosis the last few days... I aint sure
My lifts are being mildly affected - I've lost that "bang" or explosiveness in certain lifts... so I dont know how some guys get so much stronger on keto while losing weight?
I'll throw in the cardio etc and play with the meals a bit and give it another week or two, if not... I'll stop the diet and I'll just throw the carbs back in and eat 'normally' but in smaller / healthier portions, no carbs late at night.... and HIIT cardio on my non lifting days I am thinking...
Unless someone has any suggestions as to why this is going so badly for me or anything else I could try - let me know.
In the past before I started lifting I always had good weight loss results with just eating normally in smaller portions and doing lots of cardio... HIIT for example... but I never did it properly and did lost muscle mass with it... so if I do go back to that I'll have to do it differently this time around
Let me know if you got any suggestions as to why the keto isnt going as planned...
