1 day HIIT/cardio

4 days of strength training

1 active rest day doing isometrics or yoga

1 rest day where I don't work out but do stuff around the house

Keto and 20 hour Intermittent Fasting for 3 years

I started my fitness journey in 2017 but didn't see significant results until I went Keto.

Fitness goals.. Hmmm.. In the beginning it was purely aesthetic. Now it's physical and mental health. The other day I bought a 20kg sack of rice and I had no problems lifting it. No joint pain and I'm the only healthy adult in my family. Leo mom, Pisces sister, Scorpio brother are hypertensive and insulin-dependent.

My BP rate is 90/60, blood sugar is 90 mg/dl. This ks is impressive considering I know a lot of people/friends who have maintenance medications at the age of 25+.

I also feel more confident and happy these days. Just 45 minutes to an hour of working out and I'm pretty pumped up.

Basically I want to defy age and see what my body is capable of.


Yeah I'm all about looking better but I'm also feeling way better physically and mentally too so I'm doing all of this shit for that too. And I wanna build strength too so I'm obsessive over strength training lol

Couch squats

Wine glass curlsWhat are your fitness goals?

1. To have a fitness goalAre you on a specific diet?

Currently on a see food dietHow long have you been on your fitness journey?

30 plus years 🙈



I'm trying to do better in 2021. I bought some workout bands and debating going keto since I had good results going low carb in the past. I'm here for ideas


I literally hate resistance bands more than I hate the barbell lol. Do you follow specific workout routines from YouTube or anything?

Do any of you guys follow any fitness channels on YouTube or other social media platforms? Or any fitness apps, maybe including those that help you with diets? I'm curious to see because sometimes I need new ideas for workout routines and maybe diet... But I've recently started counting macros which I guess is better than nothing.

CAROLINE GIRVAN!!!

Best online trainer IMO

What's your goal? Are you working out for overall strength? Gain muscle mass? Macros is important for both cutting and bulking so you're off to a good start. I used MyFitnessPal and CarbManager before.

I don't count my macros now because I've been doing this for quite some time and I kinda know a rough estimate of the calories I consume especially now that I mainly eat homecoooked food due to the quarantine. Besides, the beauty of Keto is that all I have to watch is that I don't consume sugar or starchy food plus, I'm always feeling full.

Body image (hourglass figure, esp. a dump truck lawl), strength, building muscle mass and cutting body fat, fitness, those are all things I'm trying to work towards. And girl I'm cooking all the time lol so I think? I'm as healthy diet wise as I could be? But I'm thinking about simplifying my meals to basic ingredients to cut down on sodium/fats.

I personally like to hike. Being in nature is like the only real stability and privacy I can seem to find. I love that it rarely involves other humans. I use to like running on a local trail with my dog, but there are just too many other people especially with the pandemic. So I find myself walking miles through hills and natural landscape. My goal right now is to lose the 30 pounds I gained over this winter. 10 pound a month when you've got 30 extra pounds is quite easy. Who knows, maybe I'll reach the goal I made 3 years ago and lose the whole 50 and finally be considered healthy. I've been abnormally depressed this last winter, and need to shake it off. Get back to where I felt good, and darken my skin in the sun a bit. I'm not sure why I end up like this every winter but I'm not worried. I'm just a good at letting myself go as I am pulling myself back together.

Do you know how much body fat percentage you have right now? I think that's also something to consider. That would determine if you're "skinny fat" and would need to start body recomposition where you eat at a maintenance of calories.

Whey isolate and creatine are a life saver too IMO if you're lifting. Great way to meet your protein goals if you're cutting as 1 scoop is only about 110 calories with 25g of protein.

I don't know that but I know my BMI is 25% and I'm pretty sure I'm skinny fat... Lmao. I'm focusing on building muscle mass right now and then I'll cut body fat and then maintain. That's my plan as of right now.

I don't eat meat, fish or seafood and that's always kept me extremely underweight without a need to exercise. If I told you how little I weigh, you'd never believe me.

I can't eat anything non-vegetarian because I'm meat, fish and seafood-intolerant and have been that way my entire life. If I do I will become extremely sick for several days or I will die and need to be revived.

Most people won't give up meat, though, and those who call themselves vegetarians and vegans sneak meat when nobody's watching. That's why some of them are still fat and normal sized despite being veg. True vegetarians and vegans are always incredibly skinny, even if they eat meatless junk food.

I always have 10-pack abs. I don't use 'slimming perspectives' like a lot of so-called fitness people do, either. Many fitness gurus are obese under their perspectives and points. Yucc

Eating meat makes you gain weight?

There are people who are living the keto life style that eat a lot of meat and lose weight. Carbs are the real danger. I went to the keto life style to be more healthy. My blood sugar has dropped.

You can eat meat and lose weight, it's just a struggle if you still eat beef and pork.

Every fat person I've ever met loved binging on meat, and if you offered them a diet that didn't include animal flesh, they'd refuse it. That's why keto is popular with obese people; they still want their meat.

Oh?

I used to be a strict pescatarian for over 10 years. I only ate seafood with my vegetarian diet.

I only starting eating meat because I had to due to circumstances out of my control. Not because I wanted to or had a desire for it.

Then I found keto and will probably do keto for the rest of my life. I hate bland foods now.. mashed potatoes, crackers, bread, etc

There are holes in your story. Pescetarian diets guarantee thinness as well. You obviously ate meat before you started eating meat again if you were overweight.

People aren't honest about what they eat. Pescetarian 4 days of the week and binging on ribs and burgers 1-3 days of the week still isn't a true pescetarian.

I am being completely open and honest. I used to hate meat and stopped eating it because of religious reasons (cheaper than buying kosher meat).

You must be the dishonest one since you recognize that trait.

Depends what kind of meat

Plain grilled chicken - no it won't make you fat

Processed or fatty meats, especially fried - yes definitely

High protein and low fat is good

I was veggie for a while and I lost weight mainly because I wasn't much interested in food


Yeah I avoid frying food. Only thing I fry is potatoes for fries on my chest days lol. I eat a lot of lean meats and veggies mostly.
