After i finished low carb I gave myself 2 cheat weeks. And boy did i go overboard! My mindset was that I was going to start ketogenic in 2 weeks and i needed to binge on all the carbs. I felt overall more fatigued and had lack of energy. I found myself craving greens at first. Once I continued eating carbs I fell back into craving carbs and having a insatiable appetite.
If you do decide to do low carb- DO NOT take cheat weeks- it will just make you feel miserable.
Keto DAY1:
Feb 5th to March 31st- Plan 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs for the day
using keto urine sticks to track ketosis. Stupid simple macros to track intake- i really love this app!
Supplements: MCT oil fat capsules and electrolyte containing vitamins
Food choices on deployment: whole eggs, beef, chicken thighs/legs, fish, bacon, greens, nuts, olive oil
I believe this will be the most challenging out here in deployment land as we don't have good fat choices. During lunch today I thought I had enough fat, but unfortunately I had eaten all my protein for the day as well. This might be harder than I expected. I did ordered some FAT SNAX (cookies with lots of fat) and keto crave bars to supplement my diet. I did think about getting myoplex ketogenic powder supplement but have held off for now. I would like to try this with whole food diet as much as possible. Also I will not be able to cheat on keto as I read you kicked out of ketosis quite quickly.
Day 1 keto measurements:
Waist: 28in
LA: 10.5 in RA: 10in
Left thigh: 23.5in right: 23.75
27% body fat per calculator
I peed on the keto stick this AM and am not in ketosis. Will keep you updated!
