I am happy to say that I have completed my third week of the Ketosis diet, and I believe that I have become reasonably adapted; at least enough to reduce the significant, negative side effects of the initial stages of Ketosis.
I am finding new foods and new ways to help improve my diet and my physical fitness, and I am feeling better overall as of now.
I am still seeing very dark purple readings on my Ketone testing strips, which tells me that I am not fully adapted to the new Ketosis diet. This also tells me that I am in heavy Ketosis; it is my understanding that I would not see such high readings on the strips if it was not for a hefty caloric deficit after being deprived of carbs for so long.
Tomorrow's diet plan includes a few meals a few snacks!
Chicken Alfredo
Taco Salad
Bratwurst & Onion/Bell Pepper
Almonds
Pork Rinds
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Sugar-Free Jello
This will put me at my calorie and macro-nutrient goals for the day. The only downside is that it will also be what I eat for the next few days as the food does not last forever, and I find that these items are just not the same when frozen after preparation.
I've been debating purchasing some type of step platform so that I may perform some basic cardio at home. I know from when I was training to enter boot camp that this exercise was very demanding and can easily be done from the comfort of one's home. I've also been debating purchasing some kind of pedometer, perhaps a Fitbit One, to give me a tool to better track my daily activities. I do not expect to do anything that is long and arduous, but I would like to set a daily step goal and I know that my phone is not the most accurate method to record activity.
