FTP down 10%

4 weeks into my Keto plan and the weight and body fat continues to trend downwards and I’ve started doing longer bike rides and not feeling quite so weak. 

So, today I decided to do a 20 minute effort to estimate  my FTP. It went better than expected but my FTP was still 10% down on 4 weeks ago, down from 275w to 252w. 

I’m hopeful this will pick up as my body continues to adapt to the lack of carbs. And once I get my weight down a bit more I will probably be less strict on the carbs anyway. I’ll probably look at Keto cycling and using carbs strategically. 

For now, I just need to reset my expectations for a while and accept the lower power for a while. At least I have 10% less weight too!!
