Alright folks…my ADF experiment has turned into a ZC experiment! I’m day 6 of ZC, just meat and eggs.
So far, I’m down 4lbs but I know quick weight loss is likely water. Either way, I haven’t been bloated so that’s awesome!! I’m cutting back on magnesium and digestive enzymes, to see if my body can regulate itself without carbs clogging it up, so to speak.
Things I’ve noticed:
My protein is way higher than before (like 150g yesterday, compared to 60g before). Most ZC’ers don’t care about ratios but I’m trying to stick with keto ratios.
I am eating 3 meals instead of 2 most days (which probably is the reason for the high protein).
I haven’t In a few days but I don’t feel gross like before.
I miss keto dessert/halo top but I’m hoping to finally kick my sweet tooth
I am not eating dairy, which I’ve heard can cause excess hunger, constipation, etc. I’m not making this a hard and fast rule though - if I’m out at a party or nice dinner, I’ll make exceptions.
My N=1 is evolving and I’m okay with that!
