D1srupta's Journal, 08 May 2016

I took a temporary hiatus from the Keto style diet for about a month. I noticed some gains in weight immediately once returning to a normal diet, even though I limited my calorie intake to prevent weight gain. Now, I did eat out and there were meals that were excessive in caloric content, but I tried to offset those with reduced intakes prior and after. It looks like everything went ok, as after a few days of returning to a Keto style diet I have returned to my previous weight. The reason this makes me feel so happy is because it means that I managed to keep the food intake in control even with the extreme urges I experienced outside of the Keto diet.

I took a break for a number of reasons, the main of which being for social purposes, but the end result was good. My concern is that I didn't lose hardly any weight during that time, but there were a number of meals that I simply could not properly track. Many of my favorite foods are not given proper nutritional information as they're from small, ma and pa style shops.

I'm sure everyone has their own reason(s) for dieting, but mine are more than just to be healthier. I've experienced fat shaming, criticism, and the like in many degrees. Some obvious, and some less obvious. It is in part why it took so long for me to get my life off the ground. Anyone that is struggling with their weight just know that you're not alone. It took me years to find something that seems to work for me long-term, and it may just be you haven't found what you need yet.
