Just finished week 3 on Keto. Am 54, 5’6" currently 163 lbs(lost 10 since starting Keto). Have struggled with my weight all my life.I grew up on a high carb diet and never changed. Until starting few weeks ago, ate lots of bread, potatoes, fried/ fast foods, candy, chips, soda, etc. I thought going without all that would be UNBEARABLE, but other than yesterday when I would have sold my soul for a cookie and a glass of milk(I didn’t), its been remarkably easy to follow. I feel pretty good --no more highs and lows through the day, less joint pain, more mental clarity, fewer digestive issues, and, most importantly, not feeling guilty and disgusted with myself every day!
I’m not, however, using any kind of “plan” so i would be grateful to have advice from you experts out there about my diet. here’s a 3 day sample:
3 cups coffee(1 tsp monkfruit,1/2 Tbsp Int’l Delight Hazelnut creamer in each cup)
3 egg mushroom and swiss omelet
4 strips bacon
1/2 avacado
6-8 black olives
3 celery sticks with all-natural peanut butter
4-oz steak
1/2 cup winter squash w/ 1 tsp butter
1/2 cup cooked spinach w/ 1 Tsp butter
Seltzer w/ lime
3 cups coffee as above
1 whole deviled egg
4 strips bacon
1 mini avacado
2-3 oz cheddar cheese
2 cups chicken stir fry (chicken, stir fry vegetables,1 Tbsp soy sauce)
2 squares 86% chocolate
1-1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
3 cups coffee as above
1-1/2 deviled eggs
4 strips bacon
Atkins protein shake
1/4 cup pecans and brazil nuts
3 oz cheddar cheese
3 oz chicken
2-3 cups spinach salad (leaf spinach, tomatoes, onion, feta cheese, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and olive oil)
