Steven Anthony's Journal, 23 May 18

Day 37 of my 90-day program was really all about the struggle to get back to ketosis. Did the egg-fast until evening and broke down and ate some string-cheese and pepperoni. If I did it right, I should enter ketosis sometime today. The water weight gain was significant, I'm feeling bloated again.

What have I learned? Even the best laid plans can go awry. A small binge even with just keto approved foods can mess with the progress. What am I doing about it? I am taking the advise I received from you all and FIRST, getting back on the horse that tossed and trampled me into the ground. Second, focusing on some of the other non-weight loss victories such as how good I feel, how well I'm sleeping, and how much extra energy I have normalized throughout the day.

Today I try to just eat keto and keep the calories at 1700. I will work to have peace of mind about the process and accept the fact that this is not so much a sprint as a marathon race. I will pray for everyone to have peace of mind who are struggling with weight issues. Thanks everyone for your support, I hope you have a marvelous day!

Thanks @Tabbigurl. I looked up some recipes and those do look good. I have been mostly watching my carbs with little regard to fats and calories so am adjusting that as well as watching sweeteners. It's really great to read about other journeys and get tips. Hopefully down the road I can give as well as receive!

Thanks @Steven Anthony I checked out some of those recipes and went shopping for ingredients I didn't have on hand. Going to do some baking and cooking to prepare to stay on track over the weekend.

@grammacarol make sure you are keeping your WATER (64 oz minimum) salt, potassium, and magnesium levels UP. You need all to process fat loss and for ketosis to work correctly. 🙋🏻

Thanks @smprowett. I have to remind myself to drink enough water. Do you think fat intake be decreased and not hinder ketosis? I have been reading conflicting opinions on this.

Fat is what helps keep you from wanting to eat more. If you have the calories in your RDI to eat some fat, use it to eat it and keep the hunger at bay. If you are diabetic fat can help keep your sugars steady over a longer time frame. But you don’t NEED fat to get into ketosis. The object of ketosis is to burn your own fat. There are happy mediums you will find with your own body. 🙋🏻
