Hi! I’ve been debating posting here for a while but I’m a 19 year old who is/was morbidly obese (BMI was over 43 now 38) and started the keto (though my version was more of a dirty version) back December 1st. I have been scared of diabetes and heart issues for a while now and realized I needed to make a change so I wouldn’t end up on “My 600lb Life”. I worked away from home for a month and practically lived off of Mountain Dew, Meijer cookies, and Burger King. I was extremely sedentary and realized I really was not getting any healthier.
As I stated previously, I started Keto but tried limiting myself to 35 carbs a day which f*cking sucked. I lost about 20 pounds which was wonderful but shopping for food made me so depressed. Once I plateau’d though, I got back on my bullshit and started eating carbs again. I was between 269-271 on my plateau but I luckily didn’t gain much weight after starting carbs again. I started my journey back up after a month long break and tried something new. I’m down to 257.6 pounds as I am writing this and it’s been approx. 2.5 weeks since I started back up.
So what have I done? Well my breakfasts consist of either oatmeal then a nature valley protein bar, or I’ll go more “traditional” with an egg, a slice of whole wheat toast, and a rice cake with strawberry cream cheese on it. I start my day off with easy calories to burn while keeping carbs the highest. Then I stop eating until 6-7 (generally I wake up at 11). I use this time in between to simply walk or just do whatever I need to do at my job (which fortunately requires standing). I will not eat until I reach 10,000 steps... that is unless my blood sugar drops or I feel extremely hungry (not boredom hunger). If I want a snack I’ll eat carrots and hummus or cheese.
Once dinner rolls around it’s usually grilled chicken or a chipotle bowl (with cauliflower rice). I eat a filling dinner and have been attempting to stop eating by 9:00, 9:35 at the latest.
I ask though, when it comes to exercise, how do you go about jogging? I’m so scared I’m going to have a heart attack and I just want to know how to ease into it.
