Outa My Way . . . I'm Keto-ing


#1

It’s my fault: for the last 20 years I ate sugar 'n other nasty carbs, gaining 2.5 lbs. each year eating my so-called Low Fat, High Carb. A diet for me then lasted only a few weeks at a time . . . starving myself, and finally giving up.

I’d given up going to events with my husband–I didn’t want people to see how fat and older looking I’d become. I hadn’t purchased clothes other than sweatshirts for years. I didn’t feel pretty anymore.

But now. Get Outa My Way . . . I’m Keto-ing.

Thank you a gazillion times over for the Ketogenic Forums site. I visit the site several times a day, and am always learning something new about the Keto Way of Eating. Reading several Keto books that were suggested. I appreciate your limitless support and great recipes.

A small problem:
I’m having trouble finding room enough in the refrigerator . . . it is stuffed with 3 cartons of eggs, fresh broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bacon, butter, heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese to grate over delicious sautéed zucchini. I add a little onion, peppers, and mushrooms to make my dishes really savory. Ooooo, discovered H pink salt . . . oh my gosh, I put it on everything. We are treating ourselves to fattier cuts of meat. Front and center in the cupboard are: a can of lard, two jars of coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil. Drinking lots of water!

My husband hasn’t arrived at the station to ride the Keto train yet. But I am confident, he will.

This is Week 6 - 11 lbs. gone. I am so happy to see my belly deflating and back fat melting.

My health is improved beyond my wildest expectations. Fatigue is gone, Totally Wowed–because various inflammation issues are gone. Sleeping soundly–a 180 flip from last year. KCKO.

Damn, I’m out of your way for sure! You go! Love it.

I hear you. I had my nails done, for the first time in years. Buying different clothes. Not afraid to wear a bathing suit. It’s such a change.

Brilliant! My hubby joined the keto train a month ago! He wants my newfound energy and mental clarity. A few more weeks before he wins his prize!!! :smile:


#5

Ditto! Feels good… New haircut tomorrow too!!!

I really love the fact that you are going to get your social life back!

Sounds like you are slightly delighted by your results. Congrats.

As for the storage problem, maybe some of us could come to your house for a big keto dinner to get rid of the excess??? :joy::rofl::joy:

Anyone else get a little hungry when she said “back fat melting”? No? Okay, so I’M the only weird one?!?! :laughing:

Lol. No, but I did feel a thrill of recognition. Only one little back roll left, a tiny bit of belly fat, a bit of arm wobble, slightly chubby knees, a little extra upper thigh blob. Five more pounds to go, and even if that doesn’t happen, I’ve re-entered the land of the living. Whoo!

Cannibal much?

Fun fact: as a nurse, I’ve been in the OR several times when they’re performing surgery and when they use the electro-cautery tool (fancy burning scalpel that cauterizes as it cuts) it fills the room with the smell of bacon. You want to be grossed out, but it smells like bacon! It’s a disconcerting feeling lol!

But aren’t we humans most closely related to swine? I take desiccated thyroid…from pigs.

Had a mole removed last year. A little burning to cauterize the wound. Smelled good. I told the physician’s assisstant, “Medium well, please.”

Dinner is around 6:00pm.


(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #15

There’s a reason they call it “long pig.”
