It's going as planned. Just need to drink more water. Frankly, I need more energy. Not doing any exercise. But I don't fall off the wagon on the food. I don't deny myself, but I don't binge. It's only me and the dog here. If I barbeque a steak for the dog and me, I give him some an I have some. No problem--not a large portion, but not a small one either. When we have the steak, I go all out on occasion and make a baked potato and maybe allot myself a third of the potato and yes, no butter, but I do put about a tsp of sour cream on it or maybe some salad dressing (ranch). No breads, but if I need something like that I use these egg wraps they have out or keto friendly tortillas, but not often.
Spaghettis squash is good also. I could eat that seven days a week. I find I don't eat that much nor do I have the cravings.
Also, try Magic Spoon cereal - Keto friendly low carbs and brings me back to when I was a kid - Cocoa Puffs! They have different flavors - all good. I use Flax milk - unsweetened fiber based mild- to get around the fat. It's good, you can sweeten it if you want, but the cereal has a sweetness to it. Put some fruit in there and you are good to go.
I feel good.. Doctor does blood work on me every couple of months.. and my glucose intolerance/insulin resistance issue has cleared itself up. BMI down to 24.5. Still have high levels of the bad cholesterols, but the good cholesterols are going up. She asked if I was really tired a lot. And I have been--so I am taking some thyroid medication to fix that.
Also, when I get this full blood test workup, it spit out on the printout that I was dehydrated. I had no idea it would pick something like that up. So, I am working on drinking more water as opposed to drinking Coke Zero. I admit it. I think Tab, Diet Rite Cola, Diet Pepsi and Coke Zero is close to being the "nectar of the gods.".
Hope everyone is doing great... and feeling good. All we have to do is keep on keeping on.
