Hi my friends,
2 years ago, I was fed up with my weight and how everything in my body ached. I was not bulging from the seams or anything but I personally felt uncomfortable with the way things were going and how tired I would get.
I decided to try a low carb diet called The Ketogenic Diet. Basically, is means eating like a cave man. What did a cave man eat?
Meat, vegetables and limited fruit. Also, whatever good fat they could get from the animals they ate.
I had heard so much about it and how quickly it transforms your body from flab and fat to firm and toned without even doing much exercise, so I had to atleast pay it some attention. I was in university at that time and I also had a friend who was on it and had lost a considerable amount of weight , while managing to keep it off over the years.
So off I went to research and understand the groceries I needed to buy for this. It was really very simple, meat and vegetables, tons of butter.
I was happy that it was so simple, however trying to change my tastebuds and train them to adapt to the new kind of sugarless, grainless food was difficult.
I struggled but kept up for a good week and then something amazing happened. I stopped feeling hungry, I stopped craving sugar and carbohydrates. I would go the whole day on just a good breakfast and dinner.
Soon, around the 2nd week or so, I noticed my jeans were a lot looser and my waist looked so much thinner. Wow. It felt like no real work at all, it was really happening. I started to feel great, my skin was glowing and I was building muscle without even trying.
I dropped a good 10kg in 1.5 months and I lost about 5 inches on my stomach and gained so much muscle and firmness on my limbs. Finding that you suddenly have muscle cuts on your arms is quite the thing.
I first gained inspiration about this diet from a man on youtube called 'Butter Bob'. One of his youtube videos named 'Butter makes your pants fall off' was what got my attention and I ended up watching all his videos.
So if anyone is looking to lose weight and gain muscle, do look into this. Its not easy, none of them ever are but I found it to be the best thing to sustain over a period of time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you have any questions, Id love to answer them and I will be writing a new blog to tell you more.
Cheers,
Whatawombat!
