Fed, Fit, and Fierce

Hey everyone! I reached my weight-loss goals, so I won’t be using my Fed/Fit tumblr much anymore. Thanks for all the inspiration! You all helped me get here :D

I DID IT. I’VE MISSED YOU KETO <3

DAY 25: CHANGES

waking:
BREAKFAST:
4 egg whites + 2 yolks + 1/2 tbsp olive oil
nespresso + cinnamon
236cal, 0carbs, 20g protein 

LUNCH:
1/2cup tuna + 1tbsp mayo
1cup spinach + 25g cheese
331cal, 1carb, 39g protein

DINNER:
4 pieces bacon
1/2 avocado
326cal, 4carbs, 16g protein

TOTALS: 
893cals, 5carbs, 75g protein 

DAY 24: WHERE AM I?

9:30pm
Hard to fill the days now. Added some exercise and relaxed and talked to the boy. 
Ran 30mins
4x15 circuits

Ate about 1600cals. It’s SO MUCH and I have the desire to do 100 more rounds of circuits, but I know that’s unrealistic. While taking Hydroxy, I got back down to 142lbs. I don’t know if it was because of the 900cal deficit I was alternating my days with, or it was the elevated thermogenic, but the weight did come off.

Already have my food planned out for tomorrow, and I’m thinking a 30min bike ride is in order to keep on track.

900 keto cals, 30mins of cardio per day, circuits 3x a wk. Relax. Easy. It will take care of itself in time. Getting frustrated and eating/cheating helps progress even less than depriving yourself. FOCUS. 

DAY 23: HEALING.

Reblog if you’re 20 or older, I feel so old around these 15 yr old weight loss blogs and would love to follow you :)

FUCK.

Okay so last night I was awake until 4am. Couldn’t sleep for a number of reasons, most of which I just kind of brushed off. 

Woke-up this morning with the most PAINFUL tummy I’ve ever had in my life. Like my stomach and intestines were filled with cement. I could barely move. Spent all day in bed, eating fruits and veggies to, erm… kind of move things along.

Thinking back on what I ate last night: I decided to take a night off the diet and had some pizza. I avoid all carbs and gluten, so the pizza I usually have is gluten-free. This time I had some regular stuff. I started googling ‘gluten intolerances’ and ‘wheat allergies’ and BAM.

Symptoms I have that are listed:
- swollen throat
- itching skin
- nasal congestion
- bad digestion leading to constipation/diarrhea
- painful stomach and fever
- cramps

COOL STORY, BRO. No doctor for me until I’m back in Canada in August, so looks like I’m avoiding all gluten now as a real threat as opposed to just something that makes people fat.  

DAY 22: MARCH MADNESS

3:00am
I realize I am off to an awful start, seeing as I’m still jacked-up from the caffeine pills and still awake 4hrs before I’m supposed to get up, but this is what has to happen to learn valuable lessons.

First day of March! 31 days to enact changes and habits that (hopefully) will stick around for the rest of my life. I designed an exercise plan I’m going to stick to for the whole month, as well as going back to Keto. When I was doing Keto I was seeing results, I was happy, and I wasn’t stressing about calorie counting and all that bullshit. Once I saw my progress pics, I switched it up and what a mistake that was. Back to the basics.

MARCH:
- alternating days of interval cardio and body-weight training (Sundays off).
- no more protein shakes or supplements 
- Keto foods only (no cheating!) 

I need to print off a monthly calendar to have in my room and to keep me accountable. 25 days until my man gets here :D gotta show him what I’m made of! 

I LOST 7LBS IN 7 DAYS. DO YOU WANT TO?

I love Tumblr because of all the motivational pictures, but when I see recipes and weight-loss tips advocating fruits & carbs I wanna pull my hair out. 

The Ketogenic Diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet that gives you results fast. Like it says above, I lost 7lbs in a week doing it WITHOUT EXERCISE. Since adding a light 15 minute body-weight routine, I have continued to lose another 15lbs as well as put on 5lbs of muscle.

How to do it:
1. Stop thinking fats will make you fat. - anything labelled ‘low-fat’ is full of sugar. Consuming sugar spikes your insulin, which tells your body to store excess calories as fat. Fats in foods like cheese, mayonnaise, butter, cream, etc DO NOT get stored on the body as fat. This is a falsity created in the 70s as a fad diet and a way for companies to capitalize on dieting trends. Aim for 40grams of fat a day.

2. So, cut out sugar and bread. - Any kind in any food, including natural sugars in fruit. Sweeten with Splenda, which doesn’t spike your insulin and therefore won’t encourage weight-gain. Fruit in moderation, but not an excess and not every day.

3. Eat lots of protein - You’re not going to get high cholesterol and you’re not going to destroy your kidneys or liver. Protein repairs and protects your muscles, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day. Aim for 100grams of protein a day. Digesting protein also burns about 25% of the calories you ingest from it.

4. Green veggies will make you skinny as heck - Spinach, broccoli, asparagus, green peppers, tomatoes, onions: they are your friends. Eat as much of them as you like. They’ll fill you up and provide you with tons of nutrients. 

5. Lots of water - Everyone knows this. Keeps you from feeling hungry, and helps you flush out all the fat you’re burning off.

I eat 900cals a day and I’m NEVER hungry. As long as you’re eating 100grams of protein a day, avoiding all grains/wheat/rice/oats and sugar, and staying under your caloric maintenance level (aka, have a calorie deficit everyday), I PROMISE you will lose weight.

ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I WANT TO HELP ALL YOU GIRLS WORKING SO HARD TO LOSE ANY AMOUNT OF WEIGHT.
