Semi-Cheat Day

Posted on December 5, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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

Posted on December 3, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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

Posted on November 26, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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

Posted on November 23, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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…

Lack of hunger and Bullet Proof Tea

Posted on November 16, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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

Posted on November 14, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

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…

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

Posted on November 6, 2021December 29, 2021 by John

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…
