The mission: Deep ketogenic eating everyday
The rules: Eat less than 20 net carbs per day and less than 15 net carbs at any one meal.
Other parameters: I will give myself up to 5 passes/exceptions throughout the 90 day period, but they cannot be used on consecutive days. These are not free-for-all days, but an allowance to take into account that perfection is not required.

Passes used: 2

Yesterday: 20 net carbs

I would like to practice from the beginning of 2018 until March 31st one old and one new habit. I will mostly report on observations on Eating before noon. Sounds like fun practice.

1) Daily meditation session on the cushion
2) Eating before noon.

Observation:

1 and second of Jan I did neither of these, oh well. Did a short meditation yesterday evening and fasted so that part was easy, eating before noon that is

1) Daily meditation session on the cushion
2) Eating before noon.

Observation:

relaxing time on cushion yesterday and no food so I hit both marks. Saturday will be a good test as I will refeed in the morning and hopefully again before noon. No food planed today, but that can always change if needed.

Yesterday: 19 net carbs. While yesterday I was good on the carbs, it was a bad eating day. I was unusually hungry and eating fat did not satisfy. So I ate more protein and finally achieved a sense of "no longer hungry". But that was late in the day and I had eaten tons of calories. I'm thinking that my workout on Saturday had something to do with this bonus hunger. I did my first significant jog in prep for my April 10K run. I jogged nearly 3 miles Saturday and Sunday I was really feeling it in my legs and butt. Maybe I was just hungry for more protein to rebuild? Eating extra fat wasn't going to do it. I'll have to consider upping my protein over what I had planned to do. I think that my increasing level of activity over the next few months will require more protein than what the typical ketogenic diet calls for.

1) Daily meditation session on the cushion
2) Eating before noon.

Observation:

My EBN (Eat Before Noon) Didn't happen this weekend. Timing was difficult as I was out playing both Sat and Sun, Sunday staring at dawn. Both days were very physical and punishing and I came home and ate in the evening. I ate not only for nourishment but also for comfort. After a day of self inflicted abuse from kitesnowboarding it seems like the thing to do.

I think I will try to focus on getting this EBN thing rolling during the work week - maybe easier. I have yet to have a day that I EBN unless it was fasting and that doesn't really count!

Practice continues...
