Coming back to Singapore from the USA, I was forced to do a 21 day quarantine. So I’d figure I’d try a PSMF. I limited myself to 600-800 calories from lean protein. Plus a one day break. I lost 6kg, measured after two weeks back a maintenance calories . basically it was no fun at all, being...

Had to fly back stateside to take care of family business. Kinda got stuck in limbo with my flight back to Singapore being canceled. Decided to join a local gym and stuff my face. 3 hours a day under the iron, lifting as heavy as I can. Eating a huge amount of food, like multiple steaks...

Kind of a milestone, squatted 315 for the first time, only 3x8 partial reps, but I’ll work into full reps. Also making progress on the leg press. These exercises pretty much burn off every bit of my glycogen stores and leave me insulin sensitive for hours. After a workout like this, I can...

Mid September is my next appointment. Doc added a lipid panel. Should I lay off the coconut oil? Or just continue on and let it be? I had a lipid panel at diagnosis and it was normal, I had been on keto for about a month at that point. Is it about passing or testing my actual lifestyle? Lol...

Lady that works at the subway station I use, pulled me aside and asked me if I had liposuction because I’ve lost so much weight, so fast. I replied, thank you, but I just quit eating rice and started eating fat. Got a really funny look lol. Still another 10kg or so to go, but I’ll take it.

Started exercising the day I was diagnosed, lots of walking, body weight squats... lots of focus on the legs because they’re the largest muscles, and I’ve had a bit leg pain, ankles a tad swollen, nothing major, just uncomfortable. finally joined a gym, took a few months to lose enough weight...
