Well it has been a little over a month and I Have dropped 20lbs since I have restarted my journey towards a better me. I have also lost approximately four inches around my abdomen, which is an excellent feeling! I'm a bit disappointed knowing that I Was so much more progressed than I am now and I let it all go, but I have to keep at it and and not let that prevent me from reaching my goal.

The current goal is to reach 250lbs by September 3rd. Once I reach this goal my next goal will be 230lbs by November 12th.

I've noticed I have been craving foods that I am missing, and I have been denying those cravings and attempting to find similar foods that still meet the Ketosis diet. These cravings are what have caused me to fail in the past, as I deny myself my basic wants and desires for so long eventually I cannot keep up with the diet. This is why diets tend to fail, and a whole new way of eating is required instead.

I will allow myself one "re-feed" day a month. In the past I have found that this has helped me break plateaus, and it also has helped me get back on track when I get the cravings out of my system. I do not want to be too excessive, there is no need to exceed my daily TDEE, but I will ignore macro-nutrient ratios on that day.

Once I finally reach my goal, I want to be about 200lbs but I do want to see 199lbs one time :P, I intend to try the carb-cycling diet plan I was doing when I wanted to gain muscle without gaining too much weight. It was clearly successful based on measurements, I maintained my weight but lost inches around my abdomen, but it was extremely difficult to eat my TDEE as I was eating a large amount of vegetables, rice, and low fat meats. It just was so much food to consume that it was difficult, it came to the point that I Was eating just to eat even though I wasn't hungry, and the food got tiresome after a while. I have no idea how professional body builders that eat 5,000+ calories a day manage, as it felt like a full time job just eating 3,000 calories. (I would eat 2,000 calories on my low carb days.)

I want to get healthier and stronger, and I want to be able to enjoy myself once in a while, but I know that it takes time and patience as well as a balance.

If anyone has had experience with carb-cycling for weight loss I am interesting in hearing about it, but I intend to stick with this plan for now at least until I hit my first goal.

Has anyone tried this recipe?

https://blog. bulletproof .com/get-some-ice-cream/

It's a recipe for ice cream that is very Keto friendly. I have already added all possible ingredients to my shopping cart on Amazon as well as an ice cream maker. I put together the ingredients it provided as well as some cacao powder into Fatsecret to get an idea of what type of ratios and calories I would be dealing with.

This recipe runs as 92% fat, 6% protein, and 2% carbohydrates. I am considering adding some whey protein to up the protein count. They said in the video whey protein can improve the texture and ability to scoop the ice cream as well.

The reviews for the recipe are excellent, but I am wondering how much quantity this makes so I know how many servings to expect.

I finally got around to trying out that Arctic Zero ice cream. It is a low calorie, low carb ice cream. I tried the Cake Batter version which has 5 net grams of carbs and 35 calories per a half cup serving. I have been researching Keto friendly sweets that I can incorporate into the diet to allow me to meet my sweet tooth needs on occasion, I believe that this is going to be the key to my success, and this is one of the options I have come across that I believe I can work into my diet. I've even debated buying an ice cream maker so I can make my own ice cream that is Keto friendly; there are plenty of high fat, low carb ice cream recipes out there.

I also got around to trying to make some type of spaghetti sauce I could have to get over another craving I have been dealing with, and I felt it came out well enough that I will make it again. I've been debating purchasing either Shirataki noodles or a Spiralizer to allow me to have things akin to Spaghetti or Alfredo again. Both have their perks, but I have not tasted either so I am not sure which would best be suited or if either will turn out as I hope.

I did purchase myself an aerobic step master so that I can get some cardio in while I am at home. I don't tend to like to go out and walk in public by myself, the first time I did go out and walk/run with friends we were heckled less than half a lap into our exercise session. A lot of college students that haven't learned the subtle nature of being tolerant, understanding, or respectful to those that don't meet their perception of "normal" and "accepted" live in this town. It is unkind, but they're just not mature enough yet to live and let live.
