My mum came to visit us for the half term holidays and she’s been struggling to loose some pounds for years. Her health is not quite black and white and she’s got a few health problems that I had to consider and weight before making her the proposal. First day she arrived, I asked her if she wanted to trial out a 10 day Keto meal plan that I would personally prepare for her. She said YES! She got so excited about it that she wanted to start it right away. My homework and prep was not ready yet and I also wanted to give her a couple of days to introduce her to the Keto lifestyle and also give her time to say goodbye to all the other goodies she loves, like her favourite – White Magnum ice cream.
Thursday, explained to her the following:
- How the Keto diet works: allowed and disallowed products
- What is Ketosis
- What are her macros and what they mean
- Calculate her required calories intake to loose weight
I used this Macros calculator and based on my mum’s details (age, activity level, weight and height), she was advised to eat up to 1463 calories per day and within the following amounts of net carbohydrates, fat and protein.
On Friday, I planned the meals for a few days in advance, ordered my groceries and on Saturday morning we went up on the scale:
Morning: 85.6 kg or 188.71 lbs or 13 st and 6.71 lbs
Keto stick – Negative
And I’ve placed below a summary of how the weight loss progressed after each day.
