That is to say Monday no BK, Tu eat, Wed no BK, Th eat, Fri no BK, Sa eat..............did that for a month or two.
I figured out that I did not want the regiment ketosis requires, did not want to starve my way to weight loss and chose to build muscle to burn fat.
Examples of people already in shape and never have been out of shape, people working out multiple times a day like leading men actors, or professional athletes just are not role models for me to mimic. I do not have the time and money to pull it off and have to be far more conservative. Conservative is eating for the task at hand and for the work to be done, anything outside of that is non-sustainable.
A doctor on TV recently said after 18 months 90% of the people that had gone on a ketosis diet were off of it and had gained the weight back. That there was no evidence that such a diet wasn't going to shorten the lifespan of those doing it (
it stresses the body something terrible). He admitted that you can lose a lot of weight on a ketosis similar to the young folks at Silicon Valley all on it, but for most people it wasn't going to last because sooner or later they were going to fail at their strict diet.
Based on my personal observations of the few people that have advocated fasting to me, I see the same roller-coaster effect with their bodies, lives and minds.
I have to be able to function as a thinking person when I'm done exercising and extreme diets just do not allow me to do that.
I want to control my body, not have my body control me.
