My Nutrition and how I got here:

 My nutrition is very important to me, as it should be. The saying: 

"You can't outrun a bad diet" 

Is certainly right for me, I seem to only have to sniff something off my standard lifestyle and I gain a few pounds. Feel free to keep reading but a good background to my approach is the following video.

You can break my history down into the following phases: 

Childhood - Was active and ate what I like but got away with it. 

16+ - Ate rubbish and decreased activity so my weight went up to around 20 stone. 

End of 2014 - Went low carb and lost weight quickly, by the end of the year I was 154 down from 263lbs. 

2016 - 2017 - My weight remained pretty stable although I added more nuts, cream and things like Grenade bars. During the start of 2017 I marathon trained and got injured but continued to eat like I was marathon training so gained weight. 

2018 - Complete write off. I stayed low carb but "dirty" with things like keto cakes and the other things I mentioned above. My weight got back up to at least 14 stone, probably more like 14 1/2. 

2019 - 2020 Getting over my injury led to renewed attempts to lose weight, this time by trying to be stricter again and attempted both fasting and intermittent fasting. 

2021 - 2023 Carnivore!! - Meat only works great and I feel great. I still don't get down as far as I like and try dairy (I gain weight rapidly) and come to the conclusion that for me what works best is:

• Carnivore - Mostly beef, some lamb, some bacon, some chicken. Seasoned with salt and washed down with water, sometimes sparkling. 
• Intermittent fasting - Generally I eat within an 8 hour window, I do lose more weight with a 4 hour window but a few things suggest that 8 hours is more optimal for health. 
• Strength and Cardio - I do lots of cardio through running and walking and strength training little and often round the house..

I plan to do some future posts on the different ways to use fasting and the different approaches to healthy eating that you can use to be in the optimal health to achieve best performance.
