I've lost ten some pounds in less than two weeks doing the keto diet thang.


It's really not so bad and pork rinds with 0 carbs make great croutons for salad and make a great snack.



Just trying lose winter fat for the summer.

Just trying lose winter fat for the summer.

Between two vacations, Thanksgiving, Christmas and NewYears I gained ten pounds. Yikes. I usually do my own thing by cutting back, mostly eating veggies which works well enough along with intermittent fasting. But I heard so much about Keto. So thought I'd try it as a fast way to go back to fitting in my clothes better.

From last week of January to this week, I only lost 3 pounds which was hugely disappointing. Three ****in' lbs in 9 weeks? Sucks!

The only good thing was that it broke my desire for carbs, my weakness and even for sweets. I didn't feel hungry either. But those fat bombs made me feel and look more bloated. I even got that keto flu, with headaches and some really bad nausea at times. I even went down to just 10 net carbs per day and I felt even worse.

So I thought I wasn't doing it right. Found out you need to do a lot of measuring and math which I thought was too complicated. Bought the keto strips and found I only achieved mild ketosis.

I went off it this weekend by making a taco casserole. It was delicious and I actually felt better.

No, Keto-flu is not a real flu. There is no fever, no muscle aches. There is fatigue, headaches and nausea.

I had a real flu mid-February with fever where I just slept for a few days. I didn't have nausea with the real flu either. Tho' I do wonder if Corona was around earlier than thought and if that could be it. Because I have not been sick since.
