so far I’ve ditched the ketogenic diet to not show my lifestyle change to anyone. I am still counting calories and macros. I skip the gym only on days where my girl is at home as to not raise any suspicion. On days where I am at the gym I get at around 1900~2100 kcal, on days without I’m staying at 1600~1800 kcal - so far I lose about 100g a day/ 1.5 lbs a week. I’m down 4.6 kg (10 lbs) since I started on December 27. The belt hole puncher is useful. I’m down 2 holes on the belt, 1 of them I needed to punch myself.
I’m planning on going public with weight loss in march, starting keto and the gym officially.
Just a note, every pound is harder to lose than the last. You’re doing great and you’ve taken the most important first step, but you will likely have to keep readjusting your efforts consistently if you’re expecting the graph to stay linear.
