WOW, 16 days on this diet and 14.8 lbs lost total, but I don't care what they say, it's HARD. It's not easy. I want sweets every day. And the slow, tiny stalls are discouraging. I just keep going back to what works, which is green tea, more meat than what is required, and no "melba toast." I just can't get into Ketosis with the fruit and the toast, so I will stick with what is more nutritional- the fruit. On the days when I really stall, I skip lunch or just eat a small piece of chicken, skip my fruit, and just do an 8 oz steak and veggies for dinner...more steak than protocol, but those are the days I lose the most. My body likes steak. Personally, I love the crab and shrimp days the best. But let's be honest, I totally cheated last weekend for one meal and I plan on totally cheating this Saturday when I prepare the food for my children's halloween party. YES, I am planning a cheat. But better planned than unplanned! At least if I plan it, I can just get back up on that pony and ride next day, without beating myself up. On the light side, how awesome to be so close to ONEderland again! I am days away! I can do this!!!
