I managed my food for over a month now and felt that I had a good handle on what I should be eating to maintain weight loss. Then I got blood tests back. Some of the news was great (no longer pre-diabetic!) and some sobering: higher cholesterol levels than I would like. They're not dangerous, but I could lower them.
Looking at my food diary was really helpful. I eat a lot of eggs, at least one a day with the yolk. I eat cheese. I love salami. I don't eat it every day, but I do eat some. I eat steak about once a week. One day I had low sugar peanut butter, a whole avocado, and a couple of eggs which is a LOT of fat, even if it's "good" fat.
So, it's time to switch it up again. I've been trying to be low-carb, but all I've done is replace the carbs with fat. I need good carbs, ones with fiber, so that I can start pushing some of this fat through my system and get it OUT.
This is what's happening with MY body. For those of you on keto diets, your body must be able to assimilate foods differently than me. At any rate, I need to come up with some new food solutions as I do NOT want to take medication.
