Routine was 4 day split with 30 min cardio 3 times a week.

I had not seen a change in weight for the past three months and over the summer I had tried to tweak my diet to continue a 1lb a week weight loss but I did not progress at all on the scale or in the mirror.

Upon the advice of a memeber on this forum I switched to Dave Palumbo Keto Diet.

1/17/13

Currently 6' 219lbs and see a good difference in the mirror.

I stick to the exact diet and do not change anything on it. I measure and weight everything exactly. My day starts at 4:30 am with a 45 min 3.4 mile fast walk 5 days a week and a 4 day split routine.

Week 1:

My experinces and sides so far have been very mild. I did experince the weakness and low energy in the gym the first week but I pushed thru every workout. I did not get any headaches or dizziness but I did require 2 redbulls a day to get thru the workday for energy. I would drink the zero sugar zero carb redbull.

1/12/13 weight at 222.4 and small change in mirror.

Week 2:

No side effects are noticed as far as headaches or dizziness. Strenght has gone down but energy levels in the gym are fine. Workouts are to failure but no pumps. Energy thru the day is still on the lite side.

1/17/13 weight at 219 with continued changes in the mirror

I am writing this incase somebody else is at a point they are stuck with fat loss. I am in no way a expert or have a great knowlegde of what I am doing but I am learning what works for me as my body changes.

My goal is to get to 12 - 14 percent body fat or lower to prepare for my first cycle in septemeber. I started with the goal of going for 10 weeks but seeing the changes I will continue until I reach a body fat I am happy with and then maintain until september.

I would like to give thanks to Levelup for the help.
