I have been pretty busy at work so I wanted to be sure to do a quick check-in on all I am doing: Keto: nothing particular to report. Still keeping to it. Probably should not snack as much, but it is within moderation. I could go for a nice crispy french fry but otherwise…

Psyllium Husk Powder works
So the last 2 days I started adding a little psyllium husk powder to my morning electrolyte drink since a colleague reminded me that can help with constipation from the keto diet. Ironically I already had it on hand since I had purchased it with the expectation I may need it. I had forgotten about…
Keto Progress/Report
I shared my findings to date on my keto journey with some colleagues who share an interest in personal transformation and growth. So I am sharing a portion of that below since it would be relevant here… —- I had been learning about this diet off and on for quite some time but it took…
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…
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…
Lack of hunger and Bullet Proof Tea

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…
