Ive done the keto diet for the past 8 weeks. The results have been pretty good but mucher slower to drop belly fat than when I was younger.

I did not test for ketones but most days were extremely low carb. Zero to maybe 10 grams of carbs at most. At week 5 and week 7 I traveled and while traveling I stuck more to intermittent fasting than a keto diet, it's just a pain in the ass to maintain any restrictions when traveling. This last week I fell off completely but plan on starting it again as soon as I'm  back home.

I documented it by with pictures of abs. Ill post some. Once you're in ketosis it's amazing how fast the fat disipates. Also there's times at the start when your muscles are flat and there's a drop in strength but around week 6 all of that subsides quite a bit...

About 2 months ago I went to a virtually 0 carb diet, probably 50/50 fat protein. Started with a 5 day fast (have done many fasts in the past). Feeling pretty good, went from 220 to 210 (pretty lean to begin with). No calorie restriction

I stopped bodybuilding about 5 years ago (320 at my heaviest, have done it all drug and dose wise) and ride mountain bikes now, about 100 miles per week.

Most of the time I'm at about .6 mmol Ketone and 85 blood glucose according to Keto Mojo which puts be in "mild ketosis"

After a 3 hour bike ride my ketone is around 3.5 mmol and blood glucose still around 85 which is moderate to deep ketosis

Ketone levels vary alot based on activity, more active = higher ketone blood levels which makes total sense since more fuel is needed during activity.



I have sweet tooth and have been eating too much sugar lately. for me it is super easy to not crave anything when not eating any carbs so I just stopped them. Hopefully undoing the damage done by being close to 300lbs for 10 years.

I was worried about how 0 carbs would affect my riding and to my surprise it has not affected it much, I can now do a 3 hour ride fasted and feel to crash vs while eating carbs a 3 hr ride would require 200 grams carbs to not bonk.

Highest intensity efforts (180+ HR) I can't sustain for as long without carbs but moderate-high intensity I can go all day no with no food (around 150HR).

Long term goal is to lose 20-30 lbs to be more competitive in MTB races but 180lbs range would put me in the lightest weight of my life since I was 16 years old so might be wishful thinking.

Loving it

Good for you!

Ha! Maybe, maybe not. Having 2 side pieces is really wearing me out and I'm finding pussy really weakens my resolve. Doing my best but its a struggle when you're grizzled, gray and muscular and there are so many women out there with Daddy issues.

Yeah, he sounds like a maniac. He always sounds like he knows what he's talking about at first but by the end of his vids, every other word is fuck this or fuck that...

You can see the other pics just fine. There's nothing wrong with my hands. That is Royalty territory.

I'm sure Royalty or his queer alter ego BeefCake will be fantasizing about it for months.

Did it for the first time since the 2000s.

Back in the day, the mistake I made was that the fats were too low so I shrivelled up.

This time I was fat heavy. Felt good but the explosive diarrhoea after every meal got too much, and I can't risk that happening when I'm not at home. Had a bag of M&Ms today to give my gut the carbs it needs lol. Only lasted around 2 weeks.

Moving forward I'll still be eating keto type meals but in lower quantities + 100 grams a day of carbs from oats or rice.

I think everyone's bodies are different. Some people evolved to run on carbs better whereas others are meant to be primarily run on fats.

I've been a big meat eater for years but a couple weeks ago I was eating a top quality steak and I wasn't enjoying it at all. Been off red meat since then.

If I was dieting I'd be mostly carnivore but I'm not dieting. This is weird for me but I'm not going to force myself to eat expensive food that I don't even enjoy.

I bet it won't make any difference at all. Guess I'll see what happens.
