What a combo of the right diet and home workouts can do for your jawline... (xpost from r/keto)

What a combo of the right diet and home workouts can do for your jawline... (xpost from r/keto)The 2 year progress Lost weight by eating mainly low carb for a year and then started adding some weightlifting in my garage... 32year old male. 186cm 115kg at my heaviest. Dropped to 75kg at my lightest and currently sitting at 84kg. Diet: I stuck to a basic keto diet. Cut all sugar and simple carbs from my diet. I didn't exactly go high fat. First year I neglected protein intake and along with all the fat I also lost a lot of muscle and got quite skinny. (Unfortunately no pics of that time). I did have the odd off day where I just couldn't resist that jalapeno cheese burgers and shoestring fries from the chicken deli next to our office. The past month or so I have started using MFP to track calories because I know when I get to a maintenance stage I will want to know what I need to consume. Currently consuming around 2000 calories per day with some days going slightly over. Exercise: When I noticed I got too skinny I invested in weights and as I am in construction I put together my own power rack, dip bars and pull-up bars for my garage. Been running a standard PPL routine after work with some added 5km park runs every 2nd weekend when I am not working. Not tracking weights too much at this stage but working sets on main lifts are as follow at the moment: Bench 78kg (3 x 12) Squat 95kg (3 x 12) Deadlifts 130kg (3 x 8) Overhead Press 45kg (3 x12) Goals: I plan on losing a bit more fat (really want to have something resembling a 6 pack for the first time in my life) and expanding my fitness knowledge before making the next move in my fitness journey. Might reintroduce carbs after workouts to spike insulin but I still have a lot to read up regarding that and still need lots of reading up to do on the next program I would like to follow when I try to gain some more muscle. I'm still new to all of this and I'm placing all my gains down to noob gains for now. submitted by /u/dexter184 [link] [comments]
