Daily calorie aim: 35% protein, 60% fat, 5% carbs
Working out muscles and going on walks, hikes, bike rides as much as I can.and resting enough in between.
Down to within about 4 pounds of my high school weight. I'll get there and surpass it in the next couple weeks.
I feel GREAT. I'm stronger, leaner, and feel ready for anything.
Neroli! Yes, a good regimen and lifestyle. Americans eat like shit, Eat shit, and Pharma gets rich. I fast 2 days a week, and eat one meal a day. At my college weight. I stay away from white stuff [sugar, bread, pasta, taters, rice,] and all processed foods. Seed oils are baaad. Been of use for 20 years. Eggs, nuts, fish, beef, pork and avocados are my staples

Nice Tommy, I didn't know you were low carb too.
Love it, especially now with the higher protein, it takes some of that keto weakness and flips it the bird. Very rarely sore from the exercise too.

One thing I'm also doing, beyond a "high protein" version of keto, is allowing myself cheat days. Yesterday was one of them... Had rice and naan with my Indian dinner........... then had two huge scoops of ice cream in a huge waffle cone.

That's more off the deep end than I like, but I'm okay with it. Internally, I KNOW I'm going to have cheat days, and I KNOW I'm going back on my diet the next day <--- That's the most important part. I feel like I can do this forever.

It's nice. Today, I didn't eat breakfast (I hardly ever do, always been that way), went on a long mountain bike ride (4.5 hours), skipped lunch... My performance was good, energy was perfect, and I'm still not hungry at 4pm and I feel great.

Right on Neroli. I always skip lunch and breakfast. Get my rides b4 dinner. Go with a cheat meal once a week. It is sometimes tough to get back in the saddle after tasting bread and carbs tho

Nice, OMAD, one meal a day.
I used to do that a lot, and still do on occasion.

Shell is just melted shredded cheddar. Amazing! But greasy, so gonna find a lower fat cheddar for this job.

My gallows meal is steak and eggs, with buttered today and hash browns. Got to solve the hashed browns sub.

Fresh crusty yeast bread, warm from the oven, and plenty of butter!
