Doing well. I have lost 19 lbs since I started on April 9th. When I first started I wasn't doing keto correctly as I was eating too much fat and protein. Now, I eat 2 meals a day - lunch and dinner.
Typical lunch is some protein (tuna, sliced turkey, eggs, salami, canned chicken, etc.). Along with that At each meal, I have some fat mayo or avocado, few slices of bacon, etc. I add some spinach/lettuce leaves, leftover veggies, sometimes a cup of strawberries (once or twice a month).
Dinner is a pork chop, piece of chicken, hamburger, or sausage, with a couple of veggies (summer squash, cooked spinach, salad, green beans, peppers,etc.) oil or butter.
After dinner, I brush my teeth and I am done until noonish the next day. I am not hungry, not craving things, and feel healthier. Blood sugar is 89 to 101 in the morning and before lunch. Have not been excercising, but know I should start walking again. I guess I struggle with motivation for it!
I do not want to go back to eating as I used to - lots of carbs and sugar. When I was eating that way, I was always hungry, craving carbs, low energy, sluggish, and mind fogged.
Has anyone in the group managed to lose the weight and then maintain this way of eating? Any tips or suggestions for me?
