Well, we've been at it a full week (technically, The Hubs is on Day 9). The websites (and friends) tell me we should feel a change...but I don't. Does that mean we're not actually in ketosis, and this whole week has just been a waste? ...it better not. The scale does say I'm down about 3-4 lbs but I suspect that's mostly water weight. Breakfast: Raspberry coconut muffin and sausage, coffee with DIY creamer Lunch: Leftover Egg Roll in a Bowl & half a cucumber, Powerade Zero
Dinner: I took our favorite Zuppa Toscana recipe, which is already pretty keto-friendly, and swapped the potatoes out for thinly sliced turnips. Also added some mushrooms (we have a bunch that need to be used up), and used heavy cream in place of half & half. Taste was good, but the turnips + the cream made it a little sweet, so if I made this again I'd use 3 cups of chicken broth and an extra piece of bacon to up the savory side.
Totals: 1165 kcal, 95g fat, 21g carb, 49g protein My Thoughts: Not much new. No real cravings. But I still can't quite get over the feeling that this isn't really a good, sustainable diet. It feels very unbalanced. I don't like that I need to take supplements to help make up for things I'm not getting from actual food. The Hubs' Thoughts: The muffins don't really stick with me as much as other foods. Definitely getting hungry for lunch earlier in the day.
