This is my first night at work, I don’t really feel very different yet. I was wondering if I’d get the ‘keto flu’ but so far so good.
I spent an absurd amount of money in the last couple of days on keto centric food and ingredients, got some Mrs buttersworth maple syrup, almond butter, swerve and some other various baking supplies. I’m someone who usually eats a lot of sweet and sugary stuff, I’ve had to give up starbucks frappuchinos and icecaps, so going cold turkey would be nigh impossible for me, so I rushed to see what level of keto safe sweet stuff I could manage.
That swerve sugar replacement? Tastes almost exactly like sugar and not like stevia. Made these chocolate reeses looking cups with that, mint, cocoa, cream cheese and almond butter as the active ingrediants (since none of the grocery stores seem to have cocoa butter here) tastes sweet and delicious, so im hoping I can keep up with sugar free treats to get me through 3 months or so.
I’ve started at 221 lbs or so, and my goal is maybe 170 or lower. I’ll see where I end up in 3 months assuming my willpower is strong enough. I don’t plan to make a lifestyle out of it, I know full well youll just gain all the weight back if you dont. But im planning maybe a 3 months on, 3 months off, assuming im not eating pure garbage in those 3 months off keto I probably wont gain much weight before I lose again. But we’ll see how it goes.
