Week #1 of experiment #2 !!

Completely forgot the before and after pictures, but i took a front and side picture anyway, even though it is in the middle of the day

Wasn't sure what i'm expected to wear and such, so i just went with a bikini top and underwear shorts (couldn't find the bikini bottom)

Stats :

Weight : 62.kg
Height : 165cm
Body fat % : Not sure, but last time i checked it was 25-26%
BMI : 22.8

The work out routine :

- 5 days a week in total, of 1 hour each day
- 1 day  cardio/aerobics.
- 4 days weights
- Upper body focus


- NO supplements
- NO shakes
- NO pills or anything in a box.
- NO work-out protein bars or anything 'work-out' labelled.

Goal :
- Lower body fat %
- Increase lean body mass
- increase in strength (upper body)
- increase in flexibility

The nutritional stuff :

I'm not sure i can 'obey' a calorie frame. I'm so used to just eat until i'm full. I'll give it a try thought.

- 1200-1800 calories
- low carb clean, natural foods (as always)
- more calories from fat than protein
So! here we go!!

Never know what to shop? Here's a suggestion of real low-carb foods you can stock up on and have in mind each time you go to the super market.

Weigh in Wednesday (end of week 1)

So It's the end of the first week and there are results already!!!

Forgot to check for blood ketones, but in the afternoon i was in the 3.3 range which is optimal burning zone!!

I'm so excited!!

Drink your water! Without enough hydration you won't be seeing the results you want!

Neta's Before and After

Before : 262 pounds.

Dietary choices : Primarily 'instant food' and delivery.

Health condition : Mobility issues, tired very easily.

After : 115 pounds

Dietary choices : Low carb, real foods, clean.

Health condition: No mobility issues, high energy, perfect blood tests.
Exercise: Light/Moderate.

I had a total loss of 160 pounds. At 102 pounds unfortunately I got quite bullied for being 'too skinny' and 'you need to eat a burger' comments.

At first it was funny and, dare I say, flattering. However the comedy waned away after the 20th time I heard that.

Last year I decided to try out raw veganism. For the same reason everyone does.

"For the animals"

However that choice gave me 40 pounds back and I decided to return to low carb and this time I'm vlogging my progress and routines in order for other people on a weight-loss journey to be motivated.

Weight loss is not linear. Especially for women.

You'll have ups and downs and I'm here to show you that it is normal to stall, plateau, doubt yourself and have social pressure.

I decided to show my progress in real time. Feel free to join me and I'm looking forward to hear your stories too!

Sophie and I have a youtube channel and a facebook page
