Hi Guys. Need some help.
I began living the keto lifestyle in January and saw awesome results both in health/wellness & weight loss. I was dedicated until about April. In April I began training for a double century bike race that is in September and I immediately fell off the wagon. I have tried time and time again to get back on but I just seem to be sabotaging myself. I get back from a ride and immediately have this need for sugar- more specifically coke. So I eat some fatty & salty foods to no avail. Pretty soon I’d give in and have a coke - and a burrito - or burger with fries - or ice cream and I’ll end up eating myself to death. I’ve eliminated this stuff from the house but I’ll find something else to eat. And it’s not a little I end up eating. It’s a lot. I’ve gained back 15 lbs, can’t sleep, feel lethargic and foggy all day - the opposite of what keto makes me feel. And even with all of that - knowing how I could be feeling with more self control - I cannot make myself stop. Please help me understand how to beat these cravings. Please help me get this back on track. Please tell me what you guys did to get this going to get back on track. I am so frustrated and discouraged…sorry for the sob story.
Thanks.
