ok...so...this is a revisit of this diet because frankly...Im a fat ass
I gained a lot of weight over the winter and didn't train for almost three months
I was following a slow carb diet for the last three weeks and it just isn't cutting it..1 lb in three weeks does not success make when you're high BF and should be roasting fat off with carb reduction.
before I hear any criticism about the cals, etc etc..know that this is part of the diet, there are breaks and to combat "starvation mode" I'll be upping my prescribed thyroid med dose
thyroid downregulation is part of the so called starvation equation.
the only supps Im taking are as follows;
1 tbsp flaxseed oil
This stuff is fuckin foul but way cheaper than fish oil. I normally take krill oil but this diet requires a very high amount of omega 3s. This seems to be the only cost effective way to do this.
EC stack...aspirin ommitted
E in the form of primatene tabs, C in the form of caffienated green tea tabs..hey EGCG or whatever it is can't hurt either right?
I pre and probiotic with FOS
I have a crazy skin fungal outbreak thats getting out of hand and diflucan has made a pretty small dent in it.
Oregano Oil caps...fungal infection ^^^
Solgar D3 caps 10,000 iu cycled...I generally test D3 deficient
Multi Vit geared towards women that has some crap in it like reversatol
MSM in the form of organic sulfur...mainly because Im curious if it really is a cure all and the arthritis in my spine is especially bad in the winter.
Adrene-Vive, this is for cortisol in the evening which I tend to test high for and I am one high stress mo-fo. this is a solid product recommended to me some time ago by a sports med doc. I sleep like a baby when I take it and tend not to grind my teeth in my sleep. Its enough evidence for me tht it works.
yesterday was a carb up (binge) day ..which I didn't log but woke up 7 lbs heavier than I have been for the last week...Im already down 2 lbs from this mornings weight (scale is fine..its in line with the gym and drs office)
Ive hit the weight room for the last four days straight..which isn't my norm ..I usually go every other day
I recently changed routines to full body kettlebell exercises for about 45 mins. Today was supposed to be a regular legs day to deplete glycogen but there was a huge bunch of punk ass kids bogarting every conceivable leg machine or station (squat racks etc)
my posterior chain, grip strength and forearms are thanking me so far for the kettlebell workouts
todays macros sit at
1035 kcals
37.5 g fat
24.8 g carbs
147.1 g protein
......
Im going to have to add protien before the end of the day but I am seriously stuffed...I follow an IF pattern of eating and I cant imagine any other way of doing something like this. I ate a preblended Dole salad that was really unbelievable tasty stuff but does have some minor contraband in the blend (shaved carrot, sugar snap peas) but seriously..Im not that insane.
Molly McButter while not healthy might be salvation on a diet where keto with little fat is king.Again Im not insane and theres no way less than a 1/4 tsp of seasoning is ruining anyones diet.
I was surprised at how balanced my micronutrient profile was at this low of cals. I hit the RDA on almost everything without the multi, which isn't factored on my fitday log. Nutrient dense food hey..
edited to update kcals, and macro break down for the end of the day
