Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet. It typically contains 70% fat, 20% protein, and only 10% carbs
Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high carb days.
Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.
High protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs.
CKD and TKD which is my standard. I tried cutting out oats and sweet potatoes for a bit to try and speed up fat burn and it didn't go well... I'm gaining lean mass and losing fat without it so I'm going a bit easier on myself. Strategy now is to do a massive winter bulk and then see where I am in about March/April.
It's just mid/lower abs that are eluding me which is the most stubborn part. I'm paying a PT to track and tweak macros and workouts on a weekly basis now so I don't have to worry about that part. We have a spreadsheet...

Swimming is good exercise too though Sue It's like a biathlon.
I went swimming int he sea at the weekend. Very chilly at first but not too bad once you're in. I may have to invest in wetsuit shorts (or similar) if I'm going in later in the year.

A wet suit is essential for wild swimming, or sea swimming.

Not that I do either, but I know people that do.
I grew up of the generation that didn't use them much - now they're di rigueur for everyone at the seaside - but I don't know how people who swim or surf without wetsuits in UK waters managed it!
Even in the balmy Cornish waters it's not exactly pleasant and I still see people in Scotland surfing in just shorts!
Check out Dr Atkins Diet, his method once you are down to your desired weight means finding your daily carb limit. Mine is 52g. With alcohol you have to remember that the first thing digested is the alcohol. I like to think 1g of Alcohol is 1g of carbs. G+T slimline has 0 official carbs.
