Ketosis diet on the cheap

    I'm currently 5'7 and 11.5stone. Though did eat a lot of food in the last hour:rolleyes:. Haven't checked in a while but remember when I did I usually tended to be just over 11stone.

    I want to have a go at a ketosis/ketogenic diet for a few weeks to cut out some bodyfat.

    My workout is deadlift, 3 other back sets + 3 bicep sets on day 1

    Benchpress, incline bench press and 2 other chest sets + 3/4 tricep sets on day 2

    day 3 is Backsquat, leg extension, calf raises, leg press and set which does the hamstring area. Will also do shoulder presses this day

    Do 60 crunches the odd time when i'm waiting to use the bench but prob not more than once a week

    The last 2/3 weeks I've been going 4-5 days a week but the last few months have been very inconsistant. Going to try regularise my training to 2days on then 1 day off going forward.

    Regards the ketosis diet remember trying it a few years ago through a program at a tony quinn gym, remember it seemed to cost a lot, but did seem to get good results.

    Hoping someone may have advice/links reguards doing the diet inexpensively, I'm in college and don't have much money for meat so usually eat eggs/beans/whey powder for protein. Though the cutting out alcohol is bound to help of course.

    I'm aware the diet's not gonna be great for muscle gain but hoping not to be on it for more than 2 weeks, would that be long enough? I'm not overweight looking just the bellys a bit big

    Also would really appreciate criticism of my workout if you think I should change anything

    cheers guys

    What about the diet did you feel was the biggest cost last time you did it? Was it the price of having to buy a lot of meat or were supplements a factor?

    the food. i didnt take any supplements other than protein mixed with double cream, fairly sure i already had the protein,

    Just buying stuff like salmon and a lot of meat/philadelphia cheese etc

    Lidls do a good range of stuff. Top of the yumminess list is their greek yoghurt which is basically just fat and protein. Worth having a look around though. Especially in the dairy section.
