4th day on Keto?!

So if you read my last post you know that i started the keto diet 2 days prior. so 4 days ago. Well heres my update :) Even thou i said i'd be back in a week to give one.

• So the first day was a little hard, i kept over thinking stuff so it made it harder for me to figure out what to eat and well since i cant have sugar and pasta that made it even harder because of course i wanted something sweet lol.
• Second day was a little easier because i shopped after work and actually got keto friendly stuff. [cheese snacks, pickles, olives, ranch, shredded cheese, eggs, pepperonis, chicken, meatballs, shrimp, and bacon] so with that it was alot easier.
• third day [the day i wrote that post] i had a hudge headache and just felt drowsy really big time. I googled it and apparently you go through something called 'the keto flu' where you literally feel like you have the flu. and theres nothing you can do about it except to push on and add veggies to your diet, i tripled my greens [itworks] and it took the feeling away in like 20 mins. i was lucky.
• Today i feel wonderful ! I have a headache but nothing major. 

Have i lost any weight yet?

Surprisingly YES!! i woke up yesterday morning at 297.6 lbs. Thats 3 lbs aways from my heaviest weight. This morning i woke up at 293.2 So i lost right at 4 pounds overnight.

Was i believer in this diet?

When i first started this or thought about doing it, it was after i watched a facebook friend of mine go though it for a year. She has lost 89 lbs in a year. That right there is amazing to me! Shes been able to keep it off and she is a diabetic and its helped that tremendously. So was I believer in it? Well honestly NO i was not. I wanted to try it when i seen her progress on it, but when i googled it and researched the diet myself i immediately thought 'there is no way this is going to help me loose weight'. Theres just so much fat and oil and meat that you eat and you really cant eat any veggies unless its uncooked because the ones in the can is really high in Carbs. And youre not suppost to eat any fruits at all besides maybe rasperries, strawberries, and blueberries. every thing else is extremely high in sugar.
So thats my thing about this 'DIET' its not really a diet its a "Lifestyle" instead. And im hoping that i will beable to continue this lifestyle til i atleast get down to 200 lbs.
But i believe ive been doing great with it. But i wanted to update my progress on this lifestyle change. I'll be back on Monday for an official update:)

keto diet?!

So two days ago i started the Keto Diet. If you don;t know what that it is is basically where you eat no more than 20-25 grams of carbs and way more fat than that. You eat a low carb but high fat diet.
I think thats it's going to be a little more difficult for me to go thru with it since i don't have a gallbladder, i got it removed back in 2002 i believe and when i eat alot of grease i can still feel where the liver is having a hard time adjusting to it.
So with that being said, i am taking it slow with the grease and the cheese. Next week i will be doing it full force thou. I have started going thru the keto flu yesterday and its been a little rough. You feel like you're reallly sick and your body just feels like its dragging. Today i have a metallic taste in my mouth but pickles and olives have taken that down drastically.
Since my body isn't in Keto yet i have gained 2 pounds since i started the diet. Which it doesn't suprise me because it is ALOT of fat. but i have managed to keep it under 10 grams of carbs.

a normal day for me is::

•  a Atkins Protein Drink in the mornings. 
• 3 eggs cooked in 2 tbsp of butter, 15 pepperoinis and 1/4cup of diced cheese for lunch.
• for dinner i have a piece of chicken with a few veggies. 
• through out the day i will have 1-2 babybell cheeses.
• and i will also have some pickles and a few olives to stop the craving of the sweets.

Now at work today i did have a PB&J Sandwich that i probably really shouldnt have because of the bread. But i don't think it will affect my body going into Keto that much. 

This diet is a little extreme on the body because of the different phases it goes to get to Keto. But i've seen some amazing results when you follow the diet. 

I will be checking in once a week with my progress so Stay Tuned :) 

If you've been following this blog then you know that ive literally tried just about everything under the moon and stars to loose my weight and nothing has helped. and when i did loose it back last year i gained every pound and once right back. So I'm expecting some great things with this 'diet' but its a lifestyle not a diet'

299.9

that is my highest weight i've gotten to. I started loosin weight the right way back last june. and i got down to 268.7 by September. I worked so hard. But now... i gained it all back and i don't know how. Tomorrow i'm going to start my journey all over again, and try my hardest not to gain it back. i was starting to feel so good about my self and was actually feeling pretty beautiful for the first time in my life. i hope im able to reach my goal again, but this time im going for 250. and then 200. But first i'm goin for 250. Wish me luck

Day 3 on advocare herbal cleanse

ok so today is day 3 on the advocare herbal cleanse. I have been eating nothing but greek yogurt Yoplait Greek 100 calories. and apple sause and taco salads with just a little bit of dressing and a little bit of meat. and ate a piece of my birthday cake [turnt 26 saturday on the 19th<3] on my first day.
I have not 'pooped' yet. and i am on day 3. i looked it up online and found a blog that said that she didnt 'poop' until the 4th day so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
I am feeling really bloated i guess from all the fiber in the fiber drinks. but like i said i hope that something happens tomorrow or something soon because i feel like my body is in fiber overload. but over all i feel GREAT i feel SMALLER and i dont feel as wide! so something is happening to my body. The spark that i drink makes me pee ALOT like it literally turns my pee to the color of the spark that i drink that day, kinda cool but then again kinda not haha. anywho. cant wait until tomorrow to find out whats goin to happen.
until next time, BYE.
