02/01 - I'm new to this - MegDoesKeto
I know starting a blog about weight loss is a very cliche thing to do at the beginning of the year, and who knows if I'm going to keep going with this diet - we'll just have to see. I have been wanting to start on Keto for a few months now, and have been wising myself up on it so I'm not completely clueless. It seemed counter-productive to start just before the festive season, when I went home to my parents' house and hence would have had little control over what I was eating. Therefore, I have started on a low-carb/high-fat diet as of 1st January 2018 and my goal is to lose 2 stone with Keto.
I currently weigh 11 stone (154lbs), and as a 20 year old, 5 foot 5 inch female, that makes me overweight. I am hoping that within 6 months of the year I will be able to lose 2 stone (28lbs) to get me back to the 9 stone (126lbs) I was before I gained weight. I have gained this weight over the past 2 years from eating too many sugary snacks and drinks and too much takeaway, slight addictions I hope to manage better by doing Keto. I am a final-year university student, finishing my course in June, and therefore I currently have the flexibility in my lifestyle to be able to do Keto and not have to worry about preparing food to take to work, or any other limitations that may come with working a full-time job. I mostly work from home, with the exception of a few hours a week when I go to uni for seminars, therefore I pretty much always have access to my own fresh food in my fridge. I'm hoping to update this blog daily, logging my food and weight loss progress, but this may change depending on my schedule.
I am aiming to eat 25g Carbs, 69g Protein and 96g Fat per day, my calorie intake being under 1242kcal. I am using MyFitnessPal to log my food as a rough guide for me during the day, but knowing that this is not always completely accurate, I will hopefully update this blog with the correct numbers when I can.
1st Januray Food Log
Breakfast - None (I woke up late after being out for New Years - oops)
Lunch - 2 slices fried bacon and 1 large fried egg (212kcal, C-0.4g P-14.3g F-16.8g)
Dinner - Half an onion, 1/2 green pepper and 1/2 yellow pepper, 100g chicken, tomato sauce and a cheesy omelette - 'fajita-style' chicken and veg with an omelette instead of a wrap (576kcal, C-24.3g P-53.1g F-40.5g)
Overall this was 788kcal, 24.7 carbs, 67.4 protein and 57.3 fat. I definitely didn't eat enough fat! However, I wasn't actually feeling that hungry and these meals filled me up quite a lot. I am happy with my other results, although calories definitely needs to improve. My aim for today (as I am writing this on 02/01) is to eat more healthy fats and keep carbs low.
