I started triathlons in 2004, and then took a ten year break. Gained plenty (too much) weight and finally figured out what I need to do to lose the excess weight and keep it off. I need to have a race or fixed goal that I can work towards.
I have done my research and for me a low-carb diet works well for me. A CKD diet works, but I struggle with the loading days. I started with lowering my carbs, but I wasn’t very strict. Some weight came off , but I need something more.
I have now restricted myself to a ketogenic diet. I have been testing with keto strips and been staying in ketosis for the past 3 to 4 weeks.
