Hello Ma'am,
I am 28 yrs old, 166 cm and my weight is 97 kg. I've put on alot of weight recently and plan on starting my workout in a week or 2. I plan on weight loss first and then later on if its possible to focus on muscle building. So I just wanted to know if it's okay to stick to paleo in the beginning for the weight loss and later shift to something like keto during the muscle building. Also I would like to know what my ideal weight should be. Lastly, I'm used to having a cup of Tea morning and evening, so is it okay if i continue that during the diet or should it be avoided. Thank you in advance.
Yes you can follow paleo followed by keto . ideal weight can be calculated as height in cm - 100 . I allow tea to my clients in their diet . just mind the quantity of sugar you add.
