Your life is a bunch of bowls in front of you. Each bowl is full of VERY IMPORTANT THINGS (eating healthy, getting exercise, paying all your bills on time, giving attention to grow your relationship with your partner, friendships, that book you want to write…etc). You are able to hold up and concentrate on only so many things (for our…
February 2018, Month 12 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 63.2 lbs (lost 10.3 lbs this month). That’s more like it. This month I had two-ish incidents of “cheating”. 1. On 2/15 I went out with some friends and had fondue. We had both cheese (with meats and carby dipping stuff) and chocolate fondue (with lots of fruit/dessert dippings)…
“If I quit now I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now.” I am at now my lowest adult weight (well, 5 lbs above it.. but I hit it last month and the month before that). Like literally this is lower than any weight I’ve…
January 2018, Month 11 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 52.9 lbs (gained 2.6 lbs this month). Honestly I think I did pretty well until the end of the month. Then the wheels fell off the wagon. Ok, wait.. let’s stop a minute and take in the fact that “gained 2 lbs” now counts as wheels falling off the…
December 2017, Month 10 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 55.5 lbs (lost 0.2 lbs this month). The holidays are hard. Even though I only lost 0.2 lbs this month I’m going to take it as a win. This month I had three-ish incidents of “cheating”. 1. On 12/10 we went out to dinner with some friends and although…
November, Month 9 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 55.3 lbs (lost 2.4 lbs this month). Finally I’ve started reversing the tide… just in time for the holidays 😀 Regardless I will keep trucking along. This month I had three-ish incidents of “cheating”. 1. On 11/10 I attended the PPF-Burgundy feast. I willfully and with conscious decision disregarded my…
October, Month 8 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 52.9 lbs (gained 0.4 lbs this month). On paper this reads as a gain. Reviewing the month I actually lost 8 lbs.. it’s just it was the 8 that I gained the first week of the month. Great Western War was a lot of fun and I did not practice…
September, Month 7 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 53.3 lbs (2.4 lbs this month). Bit of a waffle this month. I haven’t fallen off the wagon so much as hopped down walking around kicking the tires. With last month’s hypoglycemia scare I’ve spent quite a while digging into the why of #keto. Why does it work, what exactly…
This is all anecdotal, my opinion and based on what has worked for me. I’m a software engineer, not a nutritionist. You’re free to disagree with me and it’s highly possible that what works for me may not work for you. Keto is a low carb, high fat (LCHF) diet setup to encourage your body to enter a state of…
August, Month 6 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 50.9 lbs (6.4 lbs this month). This month I had a bit of a health scare. Early in the month 8/2, 8/4 and 8/8 I had incidents of hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar). The first incident was kind of out of the blue (and I didn’t know what was happening)…
