Carb weekend after 1.5 yrs on Keto


#1

Had my first carb loaded weekend that ends tonight. I was expecting much worse but only ended up getting a bit of nausea and a slight headache. Since I haven’t had a cheat day since I started, maybe my pancreas has reset to the appropriate amount of insulin to deliver. I didn’t have any liquid forms of carbs. Only things like tortillas, chips, cheesecake, and some dansk cookies. Now it’s time to get back on the horse for another year!

From Megan Ramos at this year’s Breckenridge, looks like doing IF three times a week produced some results, so I’ll hop back with that. I’ll also be moving to total carbs instead of net carbs to try and get out of this plateau.

Well it was over the whole weekend so Friday night, all Saturday and all Sunday, I thought after Friday night I would have been dying. I guess I’m just an outlier on the response graph. Fasting today has so far been manageable, probably due to the glycogen I’m burning off.

I just came off a higher carb vacation. While I didn’t feel terrible, I did notice in the return of achy joints and disturbed sleep. And cravings - I’ve been back to keto but still starving 4 days later…
