I spent most of the month of August at 202-203#. If you’ve been there it is a frustrating weight at which to stall! I exercised, drank water, did everything I could but that scale didn’t move.
Last weekend I attended a retreat. Nothing keto or food related. However, the kitchen was only open three times a day. Most of the food wasn’t keto friendly, but I kept my keto food and heavy cream in the fridge. I brought no snack food. I was forced to eat only during meal times. I ate the same amount of food I have been eating at home, but I could only eat it during mealtimes as the kitchen was closed.
I returned home on my four month ketoversary and was able to record my official weight as 200# meaning I lost 2 lbs on my retreat. Recognizing that my only change was only eating at mealtimes I decided to maintain that schedule of eating. I have lost three more pounds in the past week and am now at 197!
I work from home, taking care of an infant and toddler, so it is easy to nibble on my lunch - eat an avocado, then a while later a couple TBSP of peanut butter (only peanuts and salt), then some olives, nibble on veggies while I’m preparing dinner - such an easy thing to do. All keto friendly but my insulin never got a rest. Now I eat lunch all at once, and it is filling. Then I don’t eat until dinner. Then I’m done. Only HWC in my morning coffee because MCT oil makes me clear my throat.
So eat during mealtimes. If it isn’t time to eat, don’t eat! That’s what worked for me. I hope this helps someone else!
