New Schedule Fast
Going to be doing a 48 hour fast every other day, so skipping today then will be eating Friday at noon and then skip Saturday and eat Sunday and so forth. Thinking I will work on this for a month and see how it goes. Just tested my blood sugar and it was at 106.
Won’t you be starving? Nope, I’m very well fat adapted and stay satiated with water, coffee and tea.
Today’s weigh in is at 242, 30 pounds lost since I started keto on October 20th 2018. I also went from a size 42 to a size 38 and now having to wear a belt because the 38’s are getting loose..
Well Poop
I went from carbs and sugar to a high fat, low carb and moderate protein lifestyle and my body was like wait what the hell!?!?
The first few days on keto my bowel movements were gassy and runny but then it turn into help I’m friggin constipated!!!
What I’ve learned.
The switch from the standard American diet to keto can cause gassy and diarrhea because of the new fats but that eventually goes away.
Constipation
On the standard American diet your body runs on a dirty fuel system of carbs and sugar so there will be a lot of waste, pooping everyday and even sometimes several times a day while on keto it’s a cleaner more efficient fuel system to where your body now begins using all the nutrients you put into your body, less waste to where you’ll think your constipated but you’re not, your just now more healthy.
Getting There
I started keto on October 20, 2018 with the intent of reversing my type two diabetes and listed January as a goal month - I’m getting there! Yesterday I began cutting my diabetic medication in half of what I was taking (1000mg Metformin so now 500mg). I’m making some awesome improvements on my Keto lifestyle with only 7 weeks in, weight loss in check and diabetes drifting away.
Keeping it in the back pocket…I took a stroll in the mall today and racked up a few miles, I’ve done this before but my phone didn’t track it cause it was in my front pocket, didn’t know until then that it’s best to track steps with it in your back pocket.
I usually wake up around 6 am and stay hydrated until noon/eat and be done by 12:30 and asleep by 10:30 and repeat the following days. I started off with three meals a day and then two and now one. This image is basic intermittent fasting simplified.
Got a new air fryer today! Adli’s had these marked down from $50 to $25 so it was a steal! First thing made in it was hot wings with the slap ya mama spice, they were kicking!
Pre Diabetic
I started keto October 20th 2018 as a diabetic with an A1C of 6.5 and have had labs done last week and learned that my A1C went down to a 6.2. My lab paper work came in today and it says that with all my lab results including cholesterol is perfect and am now listed as pre diabetic, OMG I’m literally on top of the moon - Keto has been saving my life!!!! My next labs will be done in March, I’m sooooo looking forward to those results then. I learned about Keto a few years ago but did nothing, I wish I did but am now living the bacon and butter dream!
