If you want input of estimated BF then upload photos and have people comment. The best way is to not worry about BF but use measurement(s) consistently.

But stick with it as Keto (sub 50g net carbs is Keto) has its benefits, don’t let punks who have never tried it tell you other wise!! If you feel good now just wait till after about 5-6 weeks.... you’ll feel amazing and be full beans. Sleep, energy and concentration will be at its peak. If you stick with it for a while and find out that you wanna go back to moderate carbs then implement them slowly, but not too slow. If you have any questions in regards to that you know where I am.

Harry91 2 Posted February 22 So 2week update (day 14) 1.2kg drop and 1 inch lost from belly this week. this is litterally half the progress from last week (week1) is this purely due to week one being water weight? only one inch loss from belly compared to two last week i may start doing 500cal cardio daily (subject to my legs hacking it on the stationary bike) from today to see what difference it makes for this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gents as i alluded much earlier in this thread with me incorrectly counting the cals of 200g chicken litterally half what they should be, i had in fact been on 1900cal for a month with zero weight loss. Hence that would surely be my maintenance. Anyways end of week 3 update, another 1kg weight and 1inch off the belly loss this week. Which is the same rate as last week. the first week was 2kg loss (water weight) so it looks like i am losing at a consistent rate of 1kg a week at 1200-1300cals per day under 40g carbs and intermittent fasting i didnt increase cardio this week as planned so still only averaging a couple 300cal bike rides per week i greatly respect and appreciate all comments and advice etc so look forward to what you gents make of progress so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
