What's up, /r/fitness? Wanna share my little fitness journey here. If you told me six months ago that I'd go keto and love it, I'd probably laugh you off. But here I am - 20 lbs lighter, happier, and healthier—a full-on Keto Kevin!
Anyway, my routine is pretty basic:
Diet Been doing the ketogenic diet. Lots of good fats, moderate protein, and very low carbs. As of day one, I quit sugar completely (a real game-changer, by the way). On a typical day, I eat avocados, eggs, green veggies, chicken, and some fruits (low carb ones, though - berries, primarily)
Exercise I try to get at least 30 minutes of cardio each morning after waking up. Besides that, I do bodyweight training thrice a week. Nothing fancy!
Mindset Oh man, this is important. Stay positive, be patient, work hard – but most importantly, enjoy the journey. You got this!
The most amazing thing? I've never felt better. More energy, and the afternoon slumps? Covering those with some nuts or cheese. So people, think about a lifestyle change, not just a diet fix. Hope this inspires someone. Happy fitness journey, folks!
Never understood the appeal of keto but if it works for ya, more power to you! Just make sure you're getting all your vitamins and minerals. 20 lbs down is awesome, keep it up!
