I realize you are restricting carbs with this diet. However, if you have a small amount of fruit prior to your cardio sessions it will burn off after the first 20 min...but it will give you some energy to get through it.
That 20 minutes of carbs gives your body time to start breaking down fat stores exclusively for the rest of the cardio session.
Stick to your plan though and see how it goes...just wanted to add another option for you.
breakfast- got up late as a i got to bed around 5am, so breakfast was some chicken salad and peporoni slices
snack- celery with peanut butter on it (pb is by far one of my favorite foods, its keto friendly, but not cheap, so mixing this in every few days keeps me sane).
dinner- will be grilling steak and chicken with peppers and onions and make my own fajita bowls
dessert- planning on making some suger free Jell-O and have cool whip for a sweet treat
weighed myself this morning, down a little over 6 lbs in these 3.5 days and stilling peeing purple on the keto test strips

Good luck to you. And although I wouldn't do it as carbs are you best fuel source, if this isn't something you plan on sticking with, you're better off not doing it. I can't tell you in 18 years of training how many people I've seen go on some diet, get to a goal, and then go back to what they were doing and gain back all the weight and then some. I've always found that a balance diet with moderation is the best. And one of the most important things, in addition to overall caloric intake, is to have proteins and carbs in each meal to keep your blood sugar balanced. And although this doesn't apply to you in your situation, I would suggest to others having problems with weight gain to become aware of the glycemic index. It does look like you've made some nice progress from where you were.
im using this to jump start my weight loss and get my body in a position where Im healthy enough to live on a non restricted diet. I lost the weight, go in relationships and got lazy like alot of people. nights running or hitting the gym were replaced by takeout and movies at home and just not being active. working nights and planning a wedding last September made it easy to be lazy and take away my free time. turning 33 at the end of June, want to set myself up to be in a better position for the next 10 years, so as of now im viewing this as a 60-90 detox of my body and mind, to get me back to where im working out multiple times a week and feeling better. so the goal is 40-60 lbs depending if I do 2 months or 3 months
this is me around my heaviest, probably 4-5 years ago, id guess somewhere around 330-340 in this picture
this is me around 3 years ago after doing atkins diet and getting on a good workout plan, probably right around 245-250 lbs in this photo
Good for you. What kid of drinking game were yall playing? One of those blindfolded kissing games???
weighed in down 9.5 lbs this morning, got a late start this morning after a trip to the er for my wife (bad back). Ate some chicken salad and a piece of string cheese. heading to the park to get a few miles in, 80s and sunny here today. Planning on make some chicken wings and asparagus for dinner tonight. Franks red hot has no carbs or sugar, so ill be doing that with butter to cut it little bit
