I never thought I could be *stuffed* on under 1600 calories a day. I set my goal for keto at 1800 calories because I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle and I'm rather tall. However, I rarely ever make that goal or my carb goal. It's so surprising that by just changing the type of food I'm eating I can eat more quantity wise, save calories, feel full, and still lose weight.
Still I miss things like cereal and French toast. When I started keto I thought I was going to have to give all of that up, however I discovered there are so many tasty substitutes! For instance, I recently placed an order from The Great Low Carb Bread Company and ordered some coconut flakes to toast with Stevia. Bam, bread for my french toast (1 carb a slice!) and cereal that taste like Frosted Flakes.
I decided to cheat on Thanksgiving and I carb-loaded. That was by far the worst decision. While the rolls I had were oh-so-yummy, the stomach pain I had that night wasn't. Even more, I found myself craving the protein and fat I was missing. I was never so happy to reduce my carbs as I was Friday morning when the pain subsided, haha. I think my body will be much happier with the low carb breads I'll be eating instead of the real deal.
