Them Shorts!
1 year, 45lbs apart; same shorts. Most of my weight loss has been in my legs and arms, with an obvious difference in my stomach as well. I don’t feel like my stomach has changed as much as I would have expected for 45 pounds, but I am so happy what’s the difference in my […]
Photos Photos Photos
Sometimes, I am honestly surprised at how big of a difference I see in myself. Sometimes, I feel like there is no difference even having lost 45 lbs. It’s why photos are so important. Self-confidence is not consistent, at least not for me. But photos are definitely a weapon against negativity and loss of motivation!
Ketovore: a Carnivore/Ketogenic Blend
Ketovore is a combination of the Ketogenic and Carnivore Diets and is sometimes referred to as simply “meat-heavy Keto.” The Keto Diet is a low carb way of eating that emphasizes meat, low carb vegetables, as well as dairy and fat; with a macronutrient breakdown of 5% Carbs, 25% protein, and 50% fat. The Carnivore […]
Snacky snacks
If you know anything about the ketogenic diet, you probably already know that snacking is frowned upon. Every time that you eat, your body releases insulin. Insulin is the hormone responsible for inflammation and fat storage in the body. And since the goal of the keto diet is to get into ketosis, when you were […]
Carnivore (Zero Carb) Diet
Similar to the Ketogenic Diet (Keto), the Carnivore Diet’s goal is to remove carbs and instead focus on fats and animal protein. Unlike Keto, the carnivore diet focuses solely on eating meat — often from nose to tail — and less (or no) plants. No fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, or sugar, although all protein […]
10 Day Carnivore Challenge
I’ve been stuck in a plateau on my weight loss journey since March (just over 4 months now). I’ve tried so many things to get out of it: exercise, adjusting my Keto Macros, Egg Fasts, etc. Nothing seems to work. But I came across this 10 Day Carnivore Challenge on Instagram and figure it’s worth […]
Plateau’s Suck
I lost 40lbs over 9 months, but now have been stuck in a plateau for the last three months. I’m trying to be patient and tell myself that my body is probably still changing, even if the scale isn’t moving, but I’m not seeing any differences lately. I’ve tried a 42 hour fast followed by […]
Not So Skinny Jeans
My “skinny” jeans are no longer living up to their name! Goodbye ass. May you never return.
Face to Face Friday
The past 9 months have been an achievement. I’m halfway to my goal weight. I started just exercising and eating low carb, but by January I was full keto and had stopped most the exercise (I am horrible at sustaining exercise long term lol, but still walk and do light core/strength training).
