Start of week 3 on LCHF. Losses 2nd week were disappointing but I have finally got through all the headaches, nausea and coughing that seem to be the Keto Flu. Generally feeling much better but my energy levels still aren't back to where they were.... but getting there slowly. I am pretty sure I have been in ketosis since (mid) week 1 but I feel, at the same time, that my body is still not 100% efficient in running this way.

Lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks which I guess is pretty impressive but only 1.5lbs of that was in the second week.

Biggest hurdle now is that I am feeling constipated. I've upped the dose of MCT oil to 1 tbs (3 times a day) and even that hasn't sorted things out. I do feel I have slowed down on drinking water so going to try and up that this week.

I am also guilty of eating when not hungry. My mind is geared to eating something breakfast, lunch and dinner and I know that I don't 'need' to do that as half the time I'm not hungry and eating for 'eatings sake'. Aim this week is to only eat when I actually feel hunger.... even if that means eating at odd times.

In terms of carbs - I don't go over 20g. I have never missed bread or potatoes. Guess I'm lucky I haven't got a sweet tooth but find that, for me, it's best to discover new dishes that suit my palate. I don't try to replicate 'bread' or make the 'cauliflower mash' as I think that would remind me of what I can't have. Better to make new favorite foods.

So - goals for week 3:

Drink more water
Eat only when hungry
Lose 2 lbs this week
Stick to <20g of carbs a day

Next update - start of week 4.
