Keto

Today is a year to the day I started a Ketogenic way of eating. (The word diet still bugs the crap out of me. Yeah I know anything we eat is a diet. There are a handful of words that make my skin crawl – diet obese overweight and some others…) It has been a roller coaster of a year. So many ups and downs. So much introspection. I have learned a lot about myself. I dont know if its willpower as much as I feel like Im daring myself to keep going. I feel like I have crossed into a new realm and I have no idea what to expect next. Thats okay. It has been and continues to be confronting as hell. Fortunately I have an amazing husband and I have a gym membership. When my crazy rears its ugly head my husband listens to me and then Im able to go put my earbuds in and tear it up on the treadmill. I had no specific goals for this year other than healthy. Ive achieved that. I see the doc in a couple of weeks. I dont know how much lower my blood sugar can get but Im excited to see. I may even let...

Another great workout @realhotyoganj with Kerri Goldman first thing Sunday morning in my usual fasted state. Feeling the hunger so I packed myself a quality keto ‘snack’ to fuel me along for the day started by a trip to Piermont for Down To Earth Farmers Markets to pick up some wonderfully organic produce. I use the term ‘snack’ lightly because what you see displayed is actually a little over 1000 calories. I emphasize this because portion control is a factor that many people fail to recognize in their lives. We underestimate how much we’ve eaten over the course of the day because often the snacks we consume are so nutritionally void or hyperpalatable that our bodies crave more of it or seek the satisfaction of what they truly require. The calorie/nutrient dense foods I’m having (64g protein 13g carbohydrates 81g fats) will keep me satiated throughout the afternoon without the crash normally associated with a higher carb meal. I won’t have to rush home or make an emergency pit stop t...

I just can not get my brain back on board to start #intermittentfasting again so I’m going to start the #fatfast tomorrow for 2 or 3 days haven’t decided how many yet. Made this to keep a list of things I can have (this isn’t the entire list). Gotta cure my out of control appetite somehow. #allidoiseat #alwayshungry .

I started Keto and Intermittent fasting as a result of steady weight gain due to thyroid issues. After stumbling across a Keto/IF video on YouTube 6 months ago – the rest is history. This is what worked for me! 1. I Prayed. Alot: I spent/spend a lot of time in prayer asking for strength discipline and consistency to sustain me on this health journey. Where I am weak God is strong! 2. I Got Clear: I got super clear on my why and super clear that this was not going to be a quick fix but a journey. 3. I Researched: I personally did a lot of research to make sure I really understood the science behind Keto before starting and this is what has helped me to maintain this lifestyle long term. Dr. Bergs YouTube videos are a great place to start. 4. I Learned The Foods: I learned about macros the proper ratios to & what foods to eat/avoid to support my Keto lifestyle. I personally do not track my macros & calories but if you are just starting out there are many apps like Carb manager ...
