Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I hope well.
I am back to share my health journey for the day.
Weigh in -
Starting -189.4
Today - 184.4
Still down a total of 5 pounds, but up in water weight since I went off track again.
Blood sugars:
Fasting - 175
Meal 1 - 118
Meal 3 - 92
So, what did I eat today?
Meal 1 -
"Low carb" grilled ham and cheese sandwich
2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of deli ham on 2 slices of "Keto" bread.
Meal 2 -
4ish OZ (didn't have a scale to weigh it, but by how much was on my plate I am guessing) pork shoulder steak
SF Barbecue sauce
1 Tbsp butter
Meal 3 -
"Red Velvet" Keto chow mug cake.
- 1 scoop chocolate keto chow
- 1 TBSP butter
- 3 TBSP heavy cream
-1 tsp red velvet baking emulsion
- 1 serving sugar free chocolate chips
-1 egg
Taste of the cake was good, but I overcooked it, whoops.

Glad they sound good....the pork was pretty good. Those who say negative things about it are probably those that believe fat is a bad thing. The diet is great, when I can stick to it. I still love my carbs and give in to them sometimes.

@Pandy_ I think way opposite lol. Burning fat is way better than burning carbs. Plus, carbs are like a poison to people like me (diabetic/insulin resistant). Pork is fine, but I add more fat to leaner meat.

@MommyOfEli2013 pork is very good lean meat fat is not a bad thing its about watching intake
Carbs are good fuel to burn

Forgive my ignorance but what is the Keto diet exactly? One of my friends was recommending it to me as a good way to lose weight but I don't know too much about it.
The food sounds delicious!

The Keto diet is a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet. You get rid of sugar and start burning fat instead.
