Keto

My endocrinologist put me on a Keto anti-inflammatory diet after diagnosing me with insulin resistance.  Some people lose a lot in a short period of time.  A friend of mine lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks.  I have only lost a pound a week.  I have 17 more pounds to go, after losing 60.  One thing that has been good about losing slowly is that I don't have lose skin except a little on my arms.  Has anyone else tried Keto?  I go back to my endocrinologist in a month.  She said that this isn't forever.  I hope my bloodwork is good.  I miss some things.  Yesterday I went to a wedding.  The bride was an hour late.  I was starving.  I saw a cooler and looked for water but there was only beer in there.  So I cheated and had a Coors Lite.  I was really good when it came to the food though.  I'm very determined to meet my goal.

I'm probably not 100% keto but am keeping carbs as low as I can. Intermittent fasting has helped me tremendously. Sounds like you're doing great so far with your goal!

Thanks lorrie! My best friend is doing intermittent fasting. She is doing good on it. I can't fathom doing that. I make coffee as soon as I get up. I use monkfruit and no sugar creamer. I also switched to decaf to save me from going to the bathroom so much. Keto keeps me full for hours. Most of the time, I forget to have a snack. I have frozen blueberries and pistachios for snacks. I'm glad that you are doing well too!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
