So I stopped lifting weights for now. My cashflow is tight so I need to divert all time and energy to making money. However, I'm still on the Ketogenic diet and I plan to stay that way until I lose more weight.
The biggest problem in following the ketogenic lifestyle has been finding an abundant potassium source that has no carbohydrate. For some strange reason when night falls, I get weird heart palpitations due to low potassium levels in my body. To remedy this, I measure out a level teaspoon of Lite Salt and mix it with a glass of water. I drink it down and then drink another glass of water to wash down the salty taste out of my mouth. This seems to calm my heart down. You may need more than a teaspoon of Lite Salt, but it's best not to overdose on it because you could experience indigestion and diarrhea if you take too much. Just try to find a sweet spot that'll stop your heart from beating rapidly.
My daily eating routine:
Breakfast - Almonds until full.
The almonds and for that matter any nut is good for the ketogenic diet unless of course you have nut allergies. Nuts are mostly fat, moderate protein and ultra low carb. They also have a good amount of fiber. You'll need to defecate at least two times a day if you intend on losing weight, and the fiber in nuts helps keep things moving along.
Lunch - Subway Sandwich Shop spinach salad.
I usually get the Italian BMT. That includes salami, black forest ham and pepperoni. I'll also add tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, pickles, gobs of oil, and salt and pepper. I'm allergic to milk products so no cheese either.
Dinner - More almonds or another spinach salad from Subway
When I go to Subway, I only aim for fatty meats. When I was working out, I would go for a double chicken salad because I needed the glucose and protein for post workout recovery.
