I am going to the city (New York) on Saturday to go to the American Museum of Natural History. That means that tomorrow is my weigh-in. GULP. In reviewing what I ate this week, I went over 20 carbs every day not to mention Sunday when I had ice cream. I have read it so many times on this website that dieting is an experiment and it is so true. You really have to find what works for you.
My experiment for the week was to see if I could eat ice cream on Sunday and maintain good eating throughout the week, stay in ketosis and lose weight.
Monday- I went over my carbs by 24g. I worked out twice and burned about 400-500 calories
Tuesday- Carb overage 8g. Burned approximately 500 calories
Wednesday- Carb overage 18g. Burned 700 calories
Thursday - No carb overage. Burn approximately 300 calories.
This morning I checked to see if I was still in ketosis and I am. Thus far I have learned that I can have at least one cheat during the weekend, but then I have to maintain a regular diet starting Monday in order to maintain ketosis or get back into ketosis. I guess I should have measured my level on Monday in order to find out if I was working all week to get back. Tomorrow I will find out if going over 20 carbs will be my demise. If not then my guess would be that I can somewhat go over 20 carbs, but I have to incorporate some pretty rigorous exercise. I worked my butt off this week and I am SUPER sore. Today will be my last workout and on Friday I am going to find a yoga class to go to.
