Week 7 results are in, and the numbers look good. I was worried this week, as I had a camping trip over the weekend, and while I tried to keep my foods keto-approved, I did have a few bites of things that were out of bounds. I then had a nice trip on Sunday to Ruby Tuesday, and ate a few things that may or may not have been good. So, I stepped up on the scale, and the numbers are below:
Day 0 - 197 lbs, 35% body fat.
Week1 - 195.5 lbs, 33% body fat
Week 2 - 194.5 lbs, 32% body fat
Week 3 - 192.5 lbs, 31% body fat
Week 4 - 190.5 lbs, 33% body fat
Week 5 - 188.5 lbs, 31% body fat
Week 6 - 186.5 lbs, 31% body fat
Week 7 - 187.5 lbs, 29% body fat
On Day 0, I weighed in at 197 lbs with 35% fat, which equates to 69 lbs of fat. (yuck).
At week 1, I weighed in at 195.5 lbs with 33% fat, which equates to 64.5 lbs of fat.
At week 2, I weighed in at 194.5 lbs with 32% body fat, which equates to 62.24 lbs of fat.
At week 3, I weighed in at 192.5 lbs with 31% body fat, which equates to 59.68 lbs of fat.
At week 4, I weighed in at 190.5 lbs with 33% body fat, which equates to 62.87 lbs of fat.
At week 5, I weighed in at 188.5 lbs with 31% body fat, which equates to 58.43 lbs of fat.
At week 6, I weighed in at 186.5 lbs with 31% body fat, which equates to 57.82 lbs of fat.
At week 7, I weighed in at 187.5 lbs with 29% body fat, which equates to 54.38 lbs of fat.
So, last week, I gained 1 lbs of weight, but lowered my % body fat by 2%. I only worked out once, so not nearly as often as I would like, but I went camping, so I did a lot of lugging heavy things around, squatting to set things up, etc., so it looks like I burned a good deal of fat during that, and built some muscle. I'm at my lowest amount, by body fat yet, and
After only 7 weeks on a 'diet', I've lost a total of 9.5 lbs. That's 1.4 lbs per week. Typical weight loss on a ketogenic diet is 1-2 lbs, so I'm still right in the middle. I actually lost 14.62 lbs of fat, so I've gained some muscle with the working out as well.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to get my blood work done, so it'll be interesting to see what the dietary changes have made to my numbers. I cut my statin (for high cholesterol) and my metformin (for high blood sugar) in half, and have been taking that for a few weeks now. I hope to be off of both of them completely soon, if not immediately after this visit. The numbers will help to decide.
