Ultimate move to Ketosis: FAT FAST

Have been feeling so depress over my keto diet recently, As I had not shed any weight, not about to go into deep ketosis ever since I got kick out since 2 weeks ago. I feel tired, I feel fat...
It seems like everything can affect keto-adapting, too much whey, too much protein, casein sensitive, carb sensitive.

Fat Fast
Almost at the verge of giving up on Ketogenic, going back to the calorie deficit meal replacement shake. I did my last research and I found fat fasting! Basically to eat only fat, or rather 90% of calories from fat, with only 1000 Cal a day. So yesterday I only took my 0 Cal BCAA, coconut oil, butter and Philadelphia cream cheese. and TaDang! Am back to Ketosis! Like finally! Shall continue myself in ketosis and achieve keto-adaption! KamBaTeh!

Re-direct of thoughts

I had decided to focus all my thoughts here in this blog rather than sharing things on Facebook. Well, reason being, not all your friends share the same mentality as you, rather than irritate people off, I prefer to "pen" it somewhere else. And worse of all, Am happy with my progress, I need to express it (without the negativity). Same, when am feeling upset, I need to release it (without further rubbing of salt to wounds by the comments from people I know). And best, keeping my thoughts to people who don't know me, so I won't offend anyone I know.

And of course, its also a kind of protection to myself, not letting people close to you know you too well, as you never know who are your friends, who are your enemy. After all, my goals, my dreams belong to me, not others, I love to do what I want to do, a bit of stubbornness but at least I have no regret.

Back to the Gym
Finally I pick my choice of gym and I absolutely love it after 1 try yesterday, the varieties of weights and equipment are good.. and best, no one occupying the squat racks and smith machine squat, probably because the gym is new. But its totally cool with all the brand new equipments. As usual, I don't have any strict program, I just hit the squat, deadlift, leg press, shoulder press, chest press. Its enough to kill. Fine, I know I ought to come out with a good program so that I can allow my muscle recovery and lower the risk of access workout on certain body parts.

Not a fan of endurance training, be it in gym, in yoga, I hate high reps with light weights, I hate long distance jogging, I hate long holding of asana.. After I gain the learn about the logic on weight trainings:

  • 1-5 reps = Strength
  • 6-12 = Hypertrophy
  • 12+ = Endurance
I begin to focus on Strength and hypertrophy, some sessions I lift to 6 reps, some I lift 8 - 12 reps, with heavy weight that bring me to muscle failure by end of reps set. It totally makes me fall in love with weights training, no more impatience endurance training which makes you feel like dying. And really, weights training are the best for muscle building, the result is pretty rapid. Been doing yoga but the progress is rather slow, especially for legs, but weighted squat are the best for legs training, squads and glutes. Yesterday I hit the smith machine back squats, its ultimate! Today it sore like... my squads are so sore that I drag my feet a little... OMG.. how am I going to survive my tonight's hot power yoga.. Am so excited in hitting the gym again real soon, tomorrow maybe.

Well... Needa really work on my workout plan.. Time to get real serious!
