THE KETOGENIC DIET!
WhaaaaaaaaaaT? is that? Well it is a LCHF (low carb, high fat) diet that tricks your body into burning fat instead of carbs to fuel itself.
I did a lot of research about this diet before starting and then decided to jump feet first into giving it a try. I mean a diet that allows you bacon?! All the bacon. All the fat. All the delicious meats, cheeses, proteins, and fat snacks you want. Only thing is, no carbs, or limit carbs to under 20grams per day.
I am on day 2 and so far so good. I started this diet weighing 285.6 and I am going to weigh myself after one week to see how much weight I have lost. One thing I have notices automatically is that I do not feel bloated. Apparently you crave water and also drop your water weight at first which is cause for the rapid weight loss at first. So I have been peeing and drinking more water.
Downsides. I am still hungry, but I am hoping this will change with continued progress. Carbs are in everything, so there are lots of things that I cannot have anymore. Goodbye delicious ice cream...goodbye. But wait! I have researched tons of recipes where I can make my own tweaked versions of my favorites so I can still indulge.
So tomorrow is Monday, going to start this diet during the week and see how it goes. I am feeling confident, a little nervous, but overall pretty good. W
