Going to start this thread to track my progress and keep myself accountable.

I'm 5'11" 190 lbs with a gut.
My goal is to drop some weight and add muscle

I've done keto before with success, but I'm trying a low carb approach this time around.  

Cutting out sugar and will be aiming for around 50-60 carbs a day.

My cardio will be 4 miles a day walking the dogs or exercise bike.

Also going to lift weights everyday.

Id like to get down to 170lbs shredded.

Wish me luck.

Good luck OP! Will follow your progress.

Thanks.

Had a decent first day.

Took the dogs on a 2 mile walk.

Weight training was shoulder day
100 reps each

Front dumbbell raises
Side dumbbell raises
Shoulder press with dumbbells
Shrugs


Breakfast was thyroid pill and a banana. I do eat Bananas because I always have slightly low potassium.

Lunch was a large salad with ham, cheese, cottage cheese, and bacon.

Dinner was a chicken breast, sweet potato, and cottage cheese.

I'm pretty satisfied right now, but will probably have some cheese or cottage cheese for a snack later.


I did keto last winter when I was 215 lbs and got down to 165 or so when all was said and done.
Keto works no doubt about it.

I like to cheat once a week, and on keto I just felt too shitty after a cheat meal. Sweating, veins bulging, and heart racing.

I did read a handful of articles saying that cheating on keto and introducing sugar and carbs is harmful to blood vessels.

This time around is going to be low carb, but not low like keto.
