Hi everyone 🙋🏻♂️,
.
Today I will talk about Keto diet! 👉🏻A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. Once your body begins to use these for fuel, you're said to be in ketosis.🤗😃
.
🛎The goal is to reach what's called "keto adaptation," a state where your body produces a lot of ketone bodies from fatty acids which become your primary fuel source💡✅
.
Benefits of Keto:
Better mood and les anxiety. Because once they're in ketosis, they feel better mentally – calmer, more focused, less anxious. And it's true.😉😄
.
Decreased Cravings. It blunts hunger more efficiently than other diets. If you're not a calorie-counter, you'll likely eat fewer calories on a keto diet. That’s why people lose fat more easily when they go keto, they're consuming fewer overall calories. ☝🏻
.
💡An increase in activated protein kinase have been reported by those using a ketogenic diet. This could potentially lead to an increased lifespan.📈
.
Weakness of Keto:
Hypertrophy Handicap. Gaining muscle mass might be harder than with a more common bodybuilding-style diet. .
Faster Fat Loss is Not Proven. Recent studies show that low-carb dieting does not lead to faster fat loss than low-fat dieting if calorie and protein intake are the same. But you'll also find several studies showing the opposite. Some people might do better (for fat loss) on a keto diet while others will do better on a diet that provides more carbs🤓🤷🏼♂️
.
Decreases in Performance. Once you're fully keto adapted, endurance work won't be affected. For pure strength training, in theory it shouldn't be negatively affected because during the session you use mostly ATP-CP for sets of 1-5 reps.🏋🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️
.
Flat Instead of Full Muscles. On a keto diet I lose a lot of muscle fullness. I look a lot smaller. It's logical though – if you're not eating any carbs your glycogen stores will decrease 🗂📑
.
👨🏻⚖️Conclusion:If you're looking to get lean, use temporarily. If you're a strength athlete or bodybuilder/lifter trying to build muscle mass, I don't recommend it. If you're wanting life extension benefits, it might be good! 😄🍀💪🏻📑

Do you like saving money and hitting your goals? Then you gotta meal prep, YO! If you wanna stay on track, you gotta PREPARE! Winging it day to day is not only expensive but you’ll probably consume a lot more calories than you think (portion size and extra added butter/oil in meals consumed when eating out).
—
If you’re struggling to hit your goals and are working hard in the gym but don’t see much physical progress, it’s time to tune into your diet. We tend to overestimate our calorie expenditure through exercise and underestimate our calorie intake, which leads to weight gain or lack of fat loss. If you really wanna see profess, make a plan. Go online, search for a few healthy recipes, and go to the grocery and buy from your list only 🍠🥔🥦🍎🥚🥗🥜🌮

I like prepping on Sundays and sometimes I’ll make a bit more food Wednesday’s (especially fish/meat). I make a batch of protein (fish, hard boiled eggs, maybe some meat), a batch of starchy carbs (sweet potato, potato, rice, or quinoa), and a bunch of fibrous veggies (brussels, cauli, broccoli, mushrooms, green beans, squash, etc.)
—
If you don’t have a game plan yet, it’s still early today! Go prepare for your week and start Monday off strong. If you don’t have the time to prep but can afford it, try a meal prep service that supports your goals. Either way, make a plan of action and stick to it.. You freaking got this 👊🏼

Happy Sunday 🌼

5 REASON YOU SHOULD FOAM ROLL!! 1. Improved flexibility and increased joint range of motion
2. Better circulation
3. Stress reduction
4. Reduce exercise-related soreness
5. Prevent injury
I generally only foam roll my Hamstring,glutes,quads, calves,hips, and my back. I try and use a lacrosse ball for my chest and triceps because a foam roller is hard to get in those areas.
Good morning 💕
Been getting a couple of cruel comments that strike at my mental health 😭 anyways this is breakfast part one!! Once I’ve worked out I’ll drink a smoothie.
Intermittent Fasting isn’t really a diet but more of an eating strategy. By restricting the amount of time you can eat, you’ll most likely consume fewer calories. . Intermittent Fasting is broken up into a “Fasting” window and a “Feeding” window. . In the Fasting window, you can consume zero calorie beverages (water, black coffee, tea etc.) - no food and no calories! . In the Feeding window, you can eat what you normally eat (protein, carbs, vegetables, fruits, fats etc.) You should still be drinking water and you can have coffee! . In the above example, the Fasting window is 16 hours and the Feeding window is 8. There are other methods but this one is the most utilized, sustainable and studied (for now). The timing of your 2 windows can be whatever suits your schedule. I would suggest starting off with a 14/10 hr split and gradually extending the Fasting window to 16 hrs. . The windows can be whatever suits your schedule the best. The example above is probably best for someone who works 9-5 but if you work a night shift, you can flip it by 12 hours. Basically just wait about 5 hours after you’ve woken up to start eating and stop eating about 3 hours before you go to bed 😊 . There is also evidence that suggests that Intermittent Fasting could improve metabolism and growth hormone production, however, whether this is 100% true and/or significant is still very debatable! . At the end of the day, if you’re trying to lose a few lbs and if your schedule and lifestyle meshes well with Intermittent Fasting then give it a shot 🏀 . As always, let me know if you have any questions at all in the comments! 📥 .

CHIN UPS VS PULL UPS💪🏽
- 💪🏽Chin ups & pull ups are great for putting mass on your back. Both have been shown to elicit high EMG activity in the Lats, with chin ups having higher rates of biceps activation than pull ups. The lower traps are slightly more active in the pull up over the chin up (Youdas et al. 2010)✌🏽 . 🤔Some research suggests that a pronated grip is better than a supinated grip (Signorile et al 2002). Although this research was conducted using a lat pulldown instead of a chin up or pull up, I feel that this is applicable and makes sense. Most people can easily perform more chin ups than pull ups and perhaps this is due to the lats fatiguing faster in the pull up. However, there is no relevant research that directly prefers one over the other, so I’d have to recommend both to get the full benefits of these bodyweight movements🔥 . 🤙Grip width is however something that is applicable to both and the research shows that a grip of 1.5 biacromial (shoulder) width is best for lat activation (Andersen et al 2014)✅ . 📌To conclude, whether you choose to do pull ups or chin ups, having your hands just outside of shoulder width seems to be best for growth. Focus on each individually for a training block of 4-6 weeks & then do the other✌🏽 . 🤙Tag a friend who needs to know this! -

Last chance to sign up for the April 23rd round. Yes, you can enjoy some of your favorite foods AND reach your weight loss goals. FWTFL teaches you how. Click on my link on my profile to learn more and sign up. Summer is coming...look and feel your best!
Did a little remote coaching for 80+ of my online Accelerated fat loss #csMentorship clients and friends on how I can gain weight even though if my physical activity level is high.
This example: If I were to eat 3 plates of chicken pasta with cream sauce for dinner (lol), on top of lunch and breakfast! - even a budget 3700 calories won't save me!
A positive caloric intake of +200 calories a day would add 1kg of unhealthy weight a month. That's 12kgs a year!
Track your calories quickly with My Fitness Pal if you're on a weight loss journey for at least a week, so you know if you're over or under eating.
It usually takes less than a minute to input one meal.
Even if you're not interested in the calories, just by entering the data will make you more mindful of what you've eaten (great for end of the day analysis). It can also track other variables, such as composition of food (macros) but I'll leave that for another day ;) How are you measuring what you eat?
Side note: grammar police: Calories are* stored as fat. Not calories is* :p
If you'd like to learn more weight loss strategies, do feel free to send me a message and I'll set you up accordingly :) Oh.. Please tag a friend who may find this useful! 🙏

Happy Saturday fitfam! 🌎 I don’t plan anymore, I just go with the flow instead. I feel ‘better’ things happen to me, when I just go with the flow.

My friend @ma.connie.t.m swings by to visit impromptu & asks me, ‘Will you take pics with me?’ Huh!?!?! I said, ‘Are you sure? It’s still cold outside. I’m not ready’. She says, ‘Let’s get hair, makeup, quick bronzer, swim suit, & take pics indoor. Lets go!’
-
Thank you @ma.connie.t.m for the opportunity to pick me as your first physique ever photo shoot pick. But I don’t quite remember that AFX posing routine anymore. Lol!😜🤷♀️🙌💪 We’ll do the best we can & just have fun with this on-the-fly project.
-
I don’t know 🤷♀️ to pose, lol 🤣 That routine from last year, I’ve archived that in my mind, its history. I don’t remember exactly anymore, lol.🤣 Looks like I can never get used to being in front of an audience; whether it’s a single person who happens to be a good friend, or in front of an audience.
-
If I compete again, then I will need to relearn the poses from scratch or refresher coaching from @ifbbpro_idalitteral . But the routine, oh my goodness! I need to be taught from scratch. Ah, I found good music I think. 🤔 We’ll touch base here soon @ifbbpro_idalitteral , late summer maybe.🙌🙋♀️🏋️♀️

Oh look another gratuitous ab shot but they seem to be hiding! 🧐
Moral of this post:
Don’t severely restrict calories.
Don’t severely restrict carbs.
Or you end up stuffing your face (for like a whole week).
Thankfully I’m back on the wagon now.
I’m back to implementing the “gentle calorie deficit” approach.
Binge eating is not cool and it’s not fun.
Thankfully I don’t do it very often now but I used to have a big problem with it.
Last week reminded me again why I can’t do severe restriction and I really need balance in my life.
Don’t be a douche bag either.
Peace out ✌️
Ketogenic breakfast made by my godfather 🍳🥓🥞 Low carb pancakes, eggs and bacon 😍🤤 ~ Kind of ironic that I’m posting this seeing that tomorrow is my first day of intermittent fasting and I’ll be skipping breakfast 🙅🏾♀️ Like ❤️ this post if you’re excited for my “Trying Intermittent Fasting for a Week” video on YouTube ▶️
