Personal critique.
I think ive lost some off my stomach, even know the tape measure disagress.
Also feel my arms/shoulders are looking bigger even know there not.
Happy enough i suppose.
Thoughts?
Looking leaner. Great work so far!
IM A FUCKING IDIOT.
I just realised that the flavourings that im adding to my shakes are basically 80% sugar. im probably putting in ~20g per shake. over roughly 3 shakes a day thats about 45g carbs from that alone.
What was i thinking… fuck. What would my progress have looked like if i hadnt of been ding this for 4 weeks. Thats about 160 extra calories a day. FUCK
Going to have to try and chug the shakes with no flavourings… might be hard especially with the added ALCAR and CEE. but ill do it.
Any thoughts on the flavourings? or no carb ways of doing it?

Try flavored extracts that you can get at any grocery store. My favorites are mint, butterscotch, and root beer. And make sure you only use a drop because they’re strong.
Hope that helps.

Do you mean stuff that you would put in bakeing or whatever?
Like the liquid in tiny tiny bottles?

Exactly! You can find them in the baking isle at any grocery store. I also like Watkins http://www.watkinsonline.com/promoDetail.cfm?promoId=4671&promoNumber=3 which are sold at our local Farmer’s Market.

Where are you getting these flavourings? This might be an issue for me as well, I use about 5g of myprotein chocolate flavoring a day, too :(.
Try adding cocoa and sucralose to whatever you’re using, that or superfood can help for flavor. I would just chug ALCAR and CEE though, those things are disgusting.
Good luck on further progress.
been chugging them today and there FINE. no issue at all.
I was using nesquick milk shake flavourings.
I will get some vanilla extract, but the no flavourings is fine.

I think so, you certainly aren’t in ketosis doing what you’re doing now, and though you don’t have to be in ketosis to burn fat, you might have better results, physically and mentally, if you are.
how low should i be aiming for ketosis?

If you’re serious about getting into ketosis you should use those magistix from the chemist. They are the best way to know for sure. Just dip them in your piss and they can test for the concentration of ketones. Dead easy.

Yeh boots will have them. Just ask at the counter. They’re used for loads of things… pregnant women… diabetics … etc. Just say you need to check for ketones.

Hey,
Check this site out.
You can buy Ketostix there under the tests section and the whole site is basically low carb stuff. This place is GOLD for the Low Carb dieter.
I find for Ketosis you need to be under 30g of carbs a day, but everyone’s different.
Hope it helps.

Ive recently been feeling knackered as fuck in the morning and have to really get myself up for workouts. just purely lacking on energy the past week.
Am i overtraining? doubtful in my opinion.
Do i need more sleep at night? - im prob getting 7-8 hours most nights but it is interrupted.
Or is it just a side effect of the diet?
