Still Going Strong



January 26 2018
Weight 252


Well, I am down 6 pounds and going strong.   How do I feel you may ask?  Well, I feel pretty darn good.  Just have to get used to eating so much. I know that sounds weird coming from someone at my weight but I really am not a big eater, never have been.  The place I lose control of calories is when my blood sugar gets low and we are talking 30 and below.  At that blood sugar, I have never thought real rational.  I grab whatever and eat until I feel better.  Well with this keto diet I cannot do that.  Just can't but I also cannot die. LOL  So I bought glucose tablets,  not very tasty but they get the job done with just a few carbs.  I really think that is going to help me.  I have been in ketosis and out.  No clue why but I got to a moderate and now I am at a trace.  Something I am working on. 

Things I have made, fat head bread, mashed cauliflower, stuffed peppers, and last night I made pizza with almond flour.  All have been quite tasty.  I am a big vegetable eater and prefer my cauliflower roasted or steamed.  I have recipes I will get on this weekend.

Wish me luck!

Keto?????

I have debated back and forth with myself for about a year now whether or not to get on the Keto band wagon.  See Ketones in the Type 1 diabetic world is a very bad thing. So me getting use to having "ketones" is a very scary thing.
 
Once I had gotten past that I was good to go.

I will tell you I am not a big eater, even tho I am a fatty.  So this eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and then a snack is very hard for me.  Also Fat Bombs???  What the heck, I am eating Fat Bombs to lose weight????  Another big one for me.  Also I don't really like meat...Why am I doing this again?  Yeah because I need to lose weight. I admit it I am not a big water drinker unless you count the water in Coke Zero.....Another big adjustment.  I love beans and those are a no-no too.  Not a big bread eater at all so that is not a problem.  Really not big on sweets either. 

So here I go, if you want to follow this journey saddle up.  I am going to publish my stats too and we will see how things go week by week.
