I started yesterday aiming for 20 net carbs or less. So far, so good. I was glad when I got on the scale that I hadn't gained. I'd been on vacation with my Daughter and her family for a week, so not the normal eating habits I'd begun to establish. I know carbs are not my friends, but I also think 20 will be too low for me in the long haul. I just want to feel what's it like to be in ketosis for a few weeks, then I think I will be better able to listen to what my body wants. I know that each person is different...our genes, our lives, our environments...all these things make a difference in how our food affects us. I'm up to 1.0 on my ketone blood reading today. I'm keeping track of blood glucose, too, several times a day to see how what I eat is doing to my glucose level. The intermittent fasting (waiting until noon or so to eat most days, and quitting eating before 9 pm) is going pretty well for me. Mostly not hungry, except for the darn post dinner desire for sweet treats. A couple of chocolate coconut fat bombs last night helped. I got in 45 minutes on the tredmill this morning, and some light housework, so I'm off and running.
Time to record my Keto Coffee.
