I am up .4 today.
And bleeding like I have been slaughtered. You'd think the weight would go down, for cripes sake.
KATHY - Thank you for the link! I am playing around with it now.
I'm glad to hear you are gung-ho to get back on plan.
It is amazing to see how much weight the body can put on after a cheat meal (or 2 or 3)
It is good that most is merely water from your glycogen storage.
Easy come, easy go.
I hope you can burn off that glycogen pronto and be back to fat-burning mode!
Go Kathy Go!!!
CRICKET - I understand what you mean when you mentioned the need to feel in control by going strictly induction.
That makes perfect sense!
I want to join you on your quest, but frankly, I am quite sick of inducting.
I think I am going to continue what I am doing now (my carbs are around 10-15). I am doing salads almost every day now, whereas they were a blue moon thing in the past. Let's see how long that lasts.
MY big "resolution" is to try and get the most nutrition bang from my buck. Which is why I have been trying to eat avocados and stuff. I need to start eating more than just meat and fat.
So in THAT sense, I am with you 100%!!!!!! I do not want to fall into the "fast food" temptation of eating fried chicken again!!!!
And I certainly hope there are no emergencies in my near future, forcing me to live on purse food such as cheese and sausage again.
----- It is too bad you had to sneak in the chocolate.
But I am happy to hear you decided it was not satisfying!!!!!
I don't think I could control myself with chocolate. It is like a drug to me. It is something I miss terribly, but such is life.
The cocoa drink seems to satisfy me enough, and that is all that matters.
Good luck with your menu today!!!!!!!!!
CHRISSIE - It is great you remained stable!
Your shrimp and wings sounded awesome.
Today is a new day for a new start. Those darned family things are so trying. It is hard to sit there and deny everything. It makes you feel deprived. I avoid those situations like the plague. It is the only thing I have control over. Too tempting. Well, I surely hope this day goes easier for you!
----------
Today we get to make those steaks!!!!! I will be careful to weigh my portion on my new gram scale.
My daily protein requirement is 73g min - 121g max. For me, steak is notoriously easy to over-eat!!!!!
This raw steak weighs almost a full lb, So I will have leftovers for tomorrow.
I will have my salad and avocado with the steak, and I do have some shrimps for later tonight (sautéed in butter with lemon and a creamy horseradish dip). I should be able to stay within protein level - actually, I am planning on 74g.
My lovely cream and a serving of yogurt will round out my menu.
My yogurt is a good source of fat.
Today's carbs will be 15 and cals will be about 1295.
My keto ratio is 1.87.
I am putting TOTAL carbs in the ratio calculator. If I subtract fiber, my ratio is actually 2.12 - but I am always wary of subtracting fiber. Much of it actually does get utilized by the body, but much slower. I read that somewhere. I take it to heart.
I have been spending a lot of time with this post and I have already updated it to include Chrissie and Cricket's latest posts!
So I will be back later to see what the news is for the rest of us. Have a great Sunday all!!!!!
g'nite.....
