I think it may be happening

(Michelle) #1

Okay, so, I’m a little over 2 months into Keto WOE. I think up until late last week, I was fooling myself or wishing myself into fat-adaptedness or into keto-adapted. But, late last week, I think I’m truly turning into fat adapted!! I have heard/read that it sometimes takes 4-8 weeks, so maybe, just maybe, it’s really happening for me? Here are some things that are different:

  • I don’t grab a few macadamia nuts to “keep me going” until my evening meal. I used to grab like 4-6 nuts if I felt a little hungry. That hunger is not there anymore, and I can go a long time between meals before I want to eat
  • My hunger is no longer the “eat or you will die” type hunger.
  • I don’t think about my delicious next keto meal anymore, or plan out what I’m going to eat for dinner

So, will give it a few more days and see for sure if my body is now happily humming along on fat.

Woo hooo! I think I’m getting there too. Hard to tell cause I’ve been ill though. Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Happy Keto Dancing Banana

lol, someone needs to make one of those, but with a dancing slice of bacon, or maybe sausage.

the banana is dancing because he knows we wont eat him…

I’m definitely fat adapted, but i never pass up macadamia nuts if they’re available.

Congrats, I’ve enjoyed your posts here. Also, I don’t think fat adaption is binary. There are degrees to it even though after a tipping point it becomes much easier to enjoy.

I’ve been Keto just over 2 months and only within the last week or so have I not woken up hungry. But now I’ve gone to the extreme (for me) of not eating until after work. I like it.

Nice!

Congrats! I’ve been wondering when I’ll transition over to being fat adapted. I have been in ketosis for a few weeks and have less hunger, but I’m still registering as having ketones (pee sticks) the last I checked. I think I’ve been fully “keto” for 6 weeks now (started lowering carbs on 2 Jan).

About 1:00 now I get a TINGE of hunger. Pop a fat bomb. BOOM! Good til 4:30 when I get home. Love it!

& I never eat 4 or 6 -it’s always a handful! ( when I count them -it’s more like 15) !!:tongue:

Think I’ll give your approach a try…it would be easy to do while at work.

Plus for me : BONUS - no lunch break!

I skipped breakfast today (seems to happen more often these days) and then had a big breakfast lunch.
Couldn’t even finish it all. Ah so this is what eating to satisfaction is. Nice!
Put the rest in a plastic lunchbox and stuck it in the fridge for later.

this was lunch:

Ditto. You can get so much done while everyone else is carb loading up for a sleep afternoon ahead :joy:
