So I have been here between 192 and 194 for a couple of weeks. I have done well with the keto diet. Haven't had any bread, sweets or crackers since I started. The carbs I have taken in have been from nuts and fruit. I have kept carbs at 50 gm or less. So therein I have been successful. I have noticed that my workouts are difficult from an energy standpoint. By the end of the 50 minutes, I am wiped out. I have been researching carb cycling and keto cycling. My sister says some of the people she works out with at CrossFit do the carb cycling and have lost a lot of weight. It seems this would be difficult to follow. I think I like the what I read about targeted keto; I would eat a carb meal about an hour before the workout and finish the day doing keto. It is supposed to provide carbs for the workout and spare my body from using muscle/protein to provide energy for the exercise. I lost 15 pounds in 9 weeks of doing a keto diet; now I'm thinking I need to mix it up a little and encourage the body to keep losing. I ate oatmeal yesterday and watermelon shortly before my workout and I felt like my workout was more energetic and I was able to participate more fully. So I'll try this for a couple of weeks and see where it leads.
