Doing great!

Posted by Nymh, 23 September 2014 · 910 views

It's probably all in my head but I am doing GREAT on the keto diet. I fondly call it "ketology" in my head. Instead of ketosis I usually end up saying "ketolysis" in my head, too.

So after day three I can say that I am:

A lot less hungry
A lot less bitchy
A lot less tired
About three pounds lighter

I am loving this so far. Coming off a diet of high carbs and low fat, it's a big mental shift and I'm already getting some questions ("So... how does that work with heart disease?") but the doctor I work for was actually really encouraging and said that he knew it was proven to work well for diabetics because of the lowered insulin response, and that even though it was counterintuitive, it was really good for weight loss.

Yesss.

I accidentally consumed like a bazillion carbs tonight though because I had two shots of a liqueur which is apparently all sugar.

Congrats to you, and I hope it continues to go well and make you feel good according to your Day 3 conclusions thus far. Oh and for what it's worth, I think "ketolysis" sounds awesome, too.
