Good job StoneCold, keep at it. I see you have goals up for June, smart move. What's the diet looking like? I'm not up to speed on Keto either, but I think a lot of us are agreeing that fats are extremely important to keep in your diet plan. Congrats on a great month :nosthumbs

Crobar · 05-03-2006, 12:03 AM

WoW bro! Can see big difference from last month! Keep up the outstanding work!

Arghlita · 05-03-2006, 04:03 AM

First: I remember when you only took pictures from the shoulders up. What a change you've made!

Second: I envy your drop cloth. Still.

Third: You really are in it to win, aren't you? Keep bringing the heat, because you haven't seen MY pictures yet. :P

DawnMarie · 05-03-2006, 04:26 AM

WOW!!! Your pics definitely prove that it is hard to see changes in yourself. You said you didn't think there was much change and there sure was!!! Looking good and I can't wait to see what next month will bring! Keep up that awesome motivation and attitude and you are unstoppable!! *checks her schedule to see how much extra cardio she can fit in this week (lol)*

stonecoldtruth · 05-03-2006, 08:10 AM

To those who were asking about Ketogenic diets, yes we eat a LOT of fat.

The easiest way to think about it is this. Once you cut out carbs from your diet your body goes frantic in an attempt to find energy (ie the brainfog at first) and then it says AHA and decides to burn fat as energy. This shift is known as ketosis, or the use of ketones as energy.

My diet is essentially 60% fat, 30% protein, 10% carbs. It should be noted that the only carbs I intake are oatmeal preworkout (since I'm on a TKD, not a CKD), pwo shake, and fibrous green veggies with nearly every meal.

So far I've had great results with ketogenic diets. I was stuck bouncing between 310-320 for the longest time, and since starting a ketogenic diet i've went from 324 to 288..

I loves them!

Thanks you guys for all of the positive comments. It is truly a hard thing to :cam: for me, as I feel I still have a LONG way to go. I know I've made great changes, but when I compare myself to my ideal image, they are FAR off.. makes me go :crazy1:

**Viperspit** · 05-04-2006, 12:34 PM

Is anyone really eve happy with their body? When you're heavy you want to be thin, when you're thin you want to be bulky, when you're bulky you want to cut, when you're cut you want to be more vascular, when you're there, you can always be bigger. It never ends bro
