Crazy.
Crazy. Eggs & bacon or sausage every day for breakfast, pizza, taco salad, or burgers for lunch/dinner (okay, they’re usually salmon or turkey and with lots of greens, and my pizza is on super-low carb flatbread). Cream cheese spread on sandwiches, made into dips/creamy desserts, sour cream, olive or coconut oil and butter on everything. And cheese! Avocados. Nuts. Some blueberries here, strawberries there. And I’m down another 8.4 pounds as of today, lost 7 lbs Jun. 3 (started keto on 5/31). That’s 15 lbs in 24 days.

yup it’s like magic. Part of that first bit is water weight and your body will want to rebound by craving sweets or starches, those are the only bumpy bits.
I don’t crave sweets or starches. Even when I wasn’t doing any ‘diet’, I was not a sweets or baked goods person. Honestly, I only craved fruit occasionally prior to this but I’m still eating 90% dark chocolate (I’ve got a bar that I bought like, a month ago, sitting in the fridge, I’ve had 2 squares off of it). I drink coffee with real cream in it and flavored stevia every day, and sometimes I have some fat bombs, which are like dessert, to me.
I’ve been down this road before, so hopefully I’m doing it right this time (about 2005 I did Atkins but I did it wrong)
Congrats! Hope you’re over the flu part
Thanks. It’s waning. I’ve bought some no-salt, which is very high in potassium, and I will be using that plus a magnesium supplement. It’s all coming in with my Amazon order that has red palm solid oil and MCT oil. Plus I will probably cut one of my coffee servings and replace it with a cup or two of broth. That should help a lot.
Ooh, were you following something similar (low carb, high fat, minimum protein)? Or just saying you want to eat better?
Blame holidays and summer fun. It happens.
