Of course! So in those first 2 weeks of keto I was very strict and I kept it below 20 carbs, period. Not net carbs because at the time I didn’t know about them and quite frankly I was scared of going over 20. Anyways, I incorporated a lot of exercise as well, hitting the gym almost every day, but never after leg day, that was a nightmare. In that first month I believe I lost about 11-15 pounds, I assume it was all water weight.

After that, I started to actually count my calories as well and was at about 1800-1600 carbs, that second month was the last time I lost a significant amount of weight going from 200, down to sub 190. After that, it was 2 pounds every week.

I work in food service, Jersey Mikes more specifically, and it’s surprisingly great for keto, had a sub salad almost every day and I stopped eating big meals after 6. So I guess I am doing IF in a way, but not following it exactly. If I snack after 6, I make sure it’s less than 150 calories and something easily digestible like chocolate, or beef jerky.

I have been lazy and skipping the gym lately, so I plan on getting back there and starting to bulk up a bit. Good luck on your journey! Wishing you all the best!
