ITS AIN’T EASY BEING GREASY (MY KETO STORY)

Alright fellow fitness pals!
I started my second round of Keto about a week and a half now and I can’t say how happy I am to be back on it!
Now it does have its pro’s and con’s.. but I can easily say that it works for me. Kicking the sugar and really fighting back the temptations of the carb loaded meals. Chocolate ice cream and milkshakes too.. the list goes on and on haha.

I work as a full time retail assistant in Melbourne’s south east which gives me light/moderate exercise I don’t really need to go crazy at a gym or the ol run around the block. I come home to my beautiful partner and our cheeky son of 14 months.. so as you could imagine dinner time prep and cook starts pretty much as soon as I walk in the door lol.

I usually skip breakfast and that gives me about a 16 hour morning/night fast until lunch arrives at work ( 8pm to 12pm ) the great thing is we have an awesome tuck shop we get every day which I go hard at the $13 lunch limit provided ( awesome yeah?!).

Bacon, eggs, snags, a little bit of cooked onion and some greens all washed down with at least 2 litres of water throughout the day. Sometimes chicken or beef roast if it’s on the specials list.
For Dinner it mostly consists of either mince, steak or chops for my protein and fats, then again either some leafy greens or veg for my carbs.

After my last weigh in (every Sunday morning) I lost 3kgs on the first week! (89 down to 86) my goal being to slip into the 70s for the first time in about 6 years after tipping the 100 mark 8 months ago.
So a week and a half in and I’m feeling great! A lot better then the first time 6 months ago. Hardly any sugar withdrawal’s as I knew what I was getting myself into and prepared a few days before with leaning myself off the fizzy drinks and chocolate ( my kriptonite haha ).

My first lot of keto 6 months ago only lasted for 3 weeks and gave in due to really craving some rice due to a Chinese takeaway literally next door!! 9 kilos lost from 95 down to 86, I was feeling awesome but still a bit upset I didn’t last my month goal so this time I’m sticking to it, 30 days keto no matter what! Surly im bound to drop back into the high 70s and then to begin to training game!

So stick it out through the first 2-6 withdrawal stage and stay focused on the prize, I sure am and i can definitely feel and see some change!
But before you jump straight into it, be sure to do some research to make sure it’s the diet for you, i was guided by a good friend who had done 6 rounds of keto and shared some YouTube clips that detail the pros and cons to make sure if I was up for it or not. So please do your research!

Im all for your questions and your own personal keto story’s!

Peace out pals!
