Week 1 on Keto

-
This is an overview of what I did and ate on the first week of my Keto challenge. I lost 3.4KG at the end of the week. This could be water weight but.... I'll take it. Hope someone finds it helpful.

Weight(kg):  87.2
Breakfast:    2 eggs fried in butter
Lunch:          1.5 cups Chicken Soup
Supper:         0.75 cups of Chilli
Exercise:       32 minutes of exercise using the Lift Session App
                       30 minutes leisurely walk
Comments:   First day on keto. I'm so pumped. Can't wait to see how this all goes. I did my weigh in first thing in the morning. Peed on a Urine Keto Strips that I had got the previous week to test the level of ketones in my system. My ketone level was none-existent at this point 🤭.

                       30 minutes leisurely walk
Comments:   Did my morning weigh in. I had dropped 0.9KG which would be water weight, I am still psyched though. Peed on a Urine Keto Strips. Strip showed that I have small amount of ketones in my system.

Week 16 on Keto

-
As a result of my weight being stagnant for a couple of weeks, I decided to come out of Ketosis and then go through 5 days of no carbs (as much as possible) this week. Coming out of Ketosis at the end of last week shot my weight up and then it crashed down with the 5 days no carbs.  I lost 2.4KG this week with a total net weight loss of 10.8KG. This is not the lowest I have been on the Keto challenge, I am however feeling happy with the results of the no carbs and plan to do it again in about a month or so. Below is what I ate and did this week Day 106 Weight(kg):  78.2 Breakfast:    Skipped  Lunch:          1 cup of cooked spicy ground beef + 3 Tbs of butter  Supper:         1 cup of cooked spicy ground beef + 3 Tbs of butter Exercise:       30 minutes exercise on Lift App                           1 hour walk on the trails  Comments:   0.6KG drop. GREAT start to the week!!!!!!!!!!  Day 107 Weight (kg) :   77.7 Breakfast:    Skipped Lunch:          1 cup of cooked spicy ground beef +
