Day 18: The best tacos I’ve ever had
Lost: 0 Total weight loss: 11.5 Saturday mornings Rick and I like to go to the local diner. It’s our “celebrate the weekend” thing to do. The keto plan works well for breakfast anywhere; as long as there are eggs and sausage or bacon, it’s easy to start the day on plan. After a breakfast […]
Day 8: Beginning week two
Weight loss: 2 pounds Total: 9 pounds Yesterday was pretty unremarkable, except that I finally tried BBQ pork rinds and greek yogurt. Both were pretty good. I woke up feeling under the weather. We’ve been passing some kind of bug around the family. I wasn’t very hungry for lunch and I also didn’t feel like […]
Day 7: One week and I’m not dead yet
Weight loss: 2 Total: 7 Whew! Rick felt better yesterday and went out to forage for produce. Well, okay, he went to Randazzo’s. I’m loaded up on veggies: cauliflower (one for pizza, one for “mashed potatoes”), romaine lettuce, spinach, avocado, squash, mushrooms, and spaghetti squash. Rick also went to Kroger to pick up the other […]
Day 6: Surviving my first trivia league night
Weight loss: +1!! Total: 5.5 Yow! That was a rude awakening. I’m really not too upset, though, because I know I’m on track. AND I still feel fantastic. I even woke up on time this morning, and I am a notorious over-sleeper. I tend to hit the hay around one a.m. and the 6:30 alarm […]
Day 5: Zero progress
Weight loss: 0 Total: 6 1/2 I was slightly disappointed to see no progress on the scale, but I was expecting it. I assumed that losing a couple of pounds a day was only a fleeting accomplishment due to water weight loss. I didn’t think that I would continue to lose at that rate, but […]
Cheez-its? Taco shells? I’m all set, thanks.
I’ve never been a big bread eater, but chips are another thing. I love nacho chips, not for their own sake, but because they are such a convenient way to transport various dips into my mouth. I was wondering how I would handle not having snack foods on the keto plan. I’m the type who […]
Day 3: Three more pounds?!
OMG! I lost another 3 pounds. Total so far: 4 1/2 pound weight loss. And I have ENERGY. Wow, is there such a thing as being allergic to carbs? Because I already feel very very good. Yesterday’s meals – Breakfast: 2 fried eggs, 3 pieces of bacon Lunch: chicken/greens salad with caesar dressing Dinner: 5 […]
My new food lifestyle: ketogenics
January 12, 2012. That’s the day I started eating “keto.” My son and his fiance had been considering going keto, and once they started, they began seeing immediate weight loss. The idea intrigued me. During the past several years, I have tried dieting several times, but saw few results. I adhered to strict high-fiber, low-fat […]
