Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I am back to share my Keto "carnivore" journey for the day.
Let's start with the weigh in.
Starting: 192
Last:190.8
Today: 187.2
That's a drop of 3.6 pounds! Yes, once again I know it is mostly water weight. But it is nice to see the number drop.
Blood sugars? They are not good....but I am doing my best.
Fasting: 277
Meal 1: 253
After workout: 315
Meal 2: 199
Meal 3: 160
I was relieved to see the 160 at the end of the day...but I usually go up 100 overnight.
Food for today?
Meal 1 - Keto Chow Shake (chocolate) made with heavy cream.
Meal 2 - Can of tuna with mayo & no sugar added ketchup.
1 whole deviled egg
1/2 serving of pork rinds.
Meal 3 - I planned to have 4 oz of ground beef, but only could eat about half.
I topped the burgers I made with swiss cheese.
Snack - peanut butter fat bomb.
Macros for all of that?
Calories - 1,109
Protein - 76
Fat - 75
Net Carbs - 13
Water - 52 oz
Workout - 1 hour 30 minutes, burned around 830 calories.
11,970 steps at the end of the day!
So I did alright food and exercise wise....but as I mentioned in another post I am struggling. Hopefully in a few days I will feel better and my sugars will go down. However, the sight of meat is making me nauseous. It could be because of the withdrawal from carbs/sugar. It is an addiction.
Anyways, how do you think I did? Do you think the numbers will go down?
How did you do with food/exercise....if you want to share of course.

I tried, but not sure how long I can stick to this....meat is not that appetizing lately.
That is good that you did

Good job! So it’s interesting to see what happens to blood sugar after workout, etc. Are those pretty typical numbers? I have ditched the high fat foods on Keto for my own diet, and I am just focusing on low cal and lower carb. Keto fat foods were messing up my stomach real bad!
Sounds like you are doing well with it though.

@MommyOfEli2013 I am very hungry LOL but not keeping low enough carb to be in ketosis, but staying below 1,200- but lower in carbs than I normally would. I’m only on like day 4 so we will see how it goes. . I’ve lost weight like this in the past but it takes a long time for your body to get used to the fewer calories so you’re not feeling super hungry all the time.
I was having trouble feeling nauseous and being constipated, which are two things I do not enjoy AT ALL.
Just curious, do you find yourself hungry on keto? Or just craving carbs?

Blood sugars can go up, that's a normal thing....but I was shocked to see it so high. I was already pretty high before working out though. Those are typical numbers when I am eating high carbs (aka cheating). When I eat low carb I can usually get them down into normal ranges.
I couldn't imagine doing low calorie and lower carb....but if you are doing good on that then that is great.
If I am being honest I am not doing well at all!

@maezee I can understand that....especially if you are below 1,200 calories. I was below 1,200 the past 3 or so days myself. Good to know about it taking time for you body to get used to lower calories.
I understand that feeling, the first 3 days I was feeling nauseous too. Didn't deal with the other....but neither are fun.
If I am eating enough calories, I don't feel hungry on Keto. But these past few days I wasn't hungry at all because of being nauseated lol.

@Tampa_girl7 I guess we will see! If it does I won't have that one again....I'll try their Keto Bulletproof coffee next time.

Thank you, I sure hope so. Probably won't be today because not sure how low carb this coffee I am having is. I got it sugar free...but that doesn't mean carb free.

@LindaOHio Today was over 200 again. Today I cheated, and tomorrow will since I am going out of town. I don't want to have to diet anymore....

interesting - the sugars i would expect (body protection you are taking in less) the weight is a good water drop!

Well to me the numbers should go down with taking in less carbs. I know the body needs time to switch to burning fat instead of sugar. But yes, was a nice drop. I went down today but not as much.

@DocAndersen Doing this for years off and on I do know that....It can take a few weeks for the switch to happen. Even possibly a few months.

@MommyOfEli2013 They will but at first your body is going to convert fat into sugar because your body thinks it is starving!

Stop thinking about the carbs. Your numbers will start looking better.

@MommyOfEli2013 You know what foods to avoid. Stop thinking about them.

Not sure what you mean? I have to think about the carbs or my sugars won't go down.

@wolfgirl569 I can't really help it....because I have a problem. I know what foods to avoid, but I can't always do that.
