I have been doing really well with keeping to my diet – or should I say life style. But I had a guest over and it was perfect weather for Chinese hotpot. Technically I stuck to safe options but the I used a packaged broth which was high in carbs (I did not drink it…
Intermittent Fasting Update
Wow been a week already – time flies when one is busy! So I have not been having breakfast and mostly I get by until lunch without hunger. Even when I DO get hungry it passes quickly with a drink of water. Sometimes I make some matcha green tea but mostly my first tea/caffeine is…
Intermittent Fasting and Weigh in
I am finding that bullet proof tea as breakfast is no longer needed so starting tomorrow I am going to try skipping it. I feel I am forcing myself to finish it and I just feel it is too greasy. I rarely have a desire to snack between meals so snacking is pretty much non-existent…
C is for Constipation
TMI but something I should record. I recall reading this was something that can happen and it seemed to creep up on me. I started taking an electrolyte drink since that is supposed to help with retaining liquid. I have also been waking up with dry mouth. With keto, electrolyte imbalances can happen since the…
Weigh in
176.2 lb, down a pound. I think I am eating too much but I am keeping it keto.
Lack of hunger and Bullet Proof Tea
I have noticed something interesting with hunger. When it gets close to a meal time I habitually start to prepare food and I find myself questioning, am I really hungry? For me this is especially curious since I am always hungry and snacking. “Second breakfast” as long been a thing for me. But now I…
Slow burn
One thing I have noticed after a week on full keto, is a difference in energy availability. This weekend I did a lot of hiking with a lot of climbing up steep hills, and my legs would start to feel tired, but then I would feel like I had enough energy but it was just…
Keto Checkin
Weight: 177.6 lb, so lost a pound basically. Diet going well. I do feel a little sluggish at times, like when hiking or before bed, but nothing horrible really. Worst of it was maybe thursday, I could not stay awake to my usual bed time and went to bed early a few times this week….
Started Keto!
Well I officially started the ketogenic diet. I have stocked up on needed essentials and now it is just a matter of fully committing so I can see how it feels for me, I did not feel much of a change so far during my transition, although I have been feeling a bit more ready…
Going Keto
I think going keto will not be as bad as I was thinking. I am not worried about being anal about it so for now I am not fixated on counting macrobiotics (calculating total carbs, fat, protein). Instead I am going by feel. For example, I cut out sugar and unhealthy sweeteners completely. That was…
