Restarting today. Was on Keto for 3 weeks, lost almost 11 lbs, but then went on vacation and came back depressed and started eating mindlessly. Miss Vickie's chips and wine became my best friends, along with take out pizza, burgers and fries. Gained back 7 lbs, blood pressure is up, so are blood sugar numbers, along with chest discomfort and fatigue! I now wake up at night with atrial fib, and the flutters seem to last longer sometimes hours...my cardiologist would not be happy with me. So yesterday I started a 3 day Vegan detox, and then I plan to switch to Vegan 80% vegetarian 10% and carnivore 10%. I really want to switch from animal based protein to plant based, without giving up fish and seafood which I really really love. I think this may be better for my body, given my age 69, heart condition, high blood pressure and diabetes. I know the carb numbers will be much higher than I am used to, but I could to choose complex carbs. I think for me,although weight loss is rapid, Keto is just too restrictive. and I am just tired of eggs, butter and meat. Yesterday's meals were great; Breakfast was Strawberry Bulgur Bowl;Lunch was Tabbouleh with Avocado; and Dinner was Lemony Chickpeas pasta with fresh peas and macadamia nuts.
