I have just hit my one year mark on KETO. It was exciting at first when I dropped the initial weight and started feeling better. I measured my Ketones everyday and stayed well on the path. I stalled about 6 months ago at 180-190, and at first it was frustrating not to see the lard slough off. I went through a nut-phase where I was eating way too many Almonds and though they are technically legumes, Peanuts. That was tough to beat back. Now I eat Pecans and Macadamia nuts.
I found myself in the early days of Keto talking excitedly about it to anyone who would listen, reinforcing my behavior and staying very close to 0-20 carbs per day. The last few months, though I still stay under 20 grams of carbs a day, I probably don’t eat enough fat and too much protein.
I have a Dr.'s appointment today (coincidence that it is my 1 year Keto Anniversary). I will let you guys know what the numbers look like.
Lately I have been OMAD, but I suppose it’s a bit lazy OMAD. I try to stick to it as much as possible, but it has been harder than it used to be. I get pretty hungry at noon, and my window starts around 5pm. I haven’t posted in a while, I started this journey at about 260#'s and I haven’t really weighed myself for a few months, I think I am probably up from my low of 185, but still comfortable with how I look and feel.
Is this what life is like when you stop obsessing about food, weight and mental state? Since I no longer think about this stuff 24X7 I now think and do other things, is this what normal feels like?
Thanks for reading, I will update with some numbers when I get my results back from my “Med” check, I am thinking they will try to push statins again, since my Cholesterol is higher than “THEY” would like it. And the Best advice I have gotten on this journey is “Keep Calm and Keto-On!”
