Both Keto diet to lower A1C approach. I also purchased a road bike. Long story short ,lost 74lbs. ,sleep well and rested. more energy.I ride 20-30 miles 2-4 times a week weather permitting . avg 15mph. with sprints of 20-22 mph. Am 65 yrs old.
Would like to bring weigh dwn to 170 lbs and increase my mph to 17-18 ,perhaps do a century.
Looks like I have stuck my self in 204 for past 2 mths. Is it to much protein .Do you guys adjust as your weigh goes down? wondering if to much protein could be the culprit
Well you didn't mention how much protein you're taking in or your height and activity level for any calculation. There are many
calculators out there to check however.
In any event, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you body adapts to whatever diet and/or training routine you institute, so its important to vary it every so often to keep it effective. Do you have an anaerobic routine or have you tried any fat burners?
Anyway, there are many paths or combinations to choose from, so pick the ones that best suits your lifestyle and goal. Also you might check out
The Hierarchy of Fat Loss, it might provide some additional useful tidbits.
