baskington's Journal, 09 October 2018

this gain is not unexpected, I have been experimenting with my macro's and focused on trying to heal my leg issues. I have been well over my maintenance calories all week. and I have not been really doing much in the way of exercise. and every time I have food that causes me issues it stalls my production. the coffee is one of those things. but the benefits to my legs I have to see if it is worth it until things settle. also working on the low blood sugar issues and I think I have got that issue corrected with my playing around. It is time to really focus on my food planning so I can get those higher calories at night to get through the night. I did not plan well yesterday so I was up at 2am again. and still over my calories. maintenance here is higher than actual for me of 1430. onward and upward! I am not worried about the slight gain it will be gone as fast as it came!

I started my morning with good readings ketones 2.4 and glucose a little high at 4.8, I guess that is what happens after several days of eating more than the maintenance goal. I did have excessive fat so I think I need to tone that down a little. legs felt better after rehydrating and coffee. though they still wanted to cramp. I got on my bike and worked off some of my excess and ate some salmon and took a little magnesium which makes me sleepy. so far so good the legs are not cramping.

okay one hour after eating the salmon snack for my calcium and my bike work ketones up to 2.6 and glucose down to 4.3. they should steadily go down in the glucose for the rest of the day, until I eat, now in burn mode
128.0 lb Lost so far: 28.0 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Keilin I really don't need naps, I don't need as much sleep as I used to, though I do like to get a couple more hours. I go to bed early so it is not as bad as it may seem.

My legs were cramping often and my doctor told me to take a few sips of Tonic Water w/ Quinine in it. It really worker. For the last few weeks, I have been wearing compression stockings and haven't had one leg cramp.

yes Adef after I ate that salmon my legs knock on wood are not cramping after the bike. and that is a big plus for me. they normally cramp in my calf and foot after the bike if I don't keep stretching. no stretching yet for the day. 1 hour after exercise and snack. almost time for coffee again though it has been 4 +hours

There is a doctor on you tube that you might be interested in: Dr Eric Berg. He has thousands of videos. He trains doctors on nutrition.

Good job! Glad you have solved the leg issue and your numbers are good. I too find that if I have a small meal or even if big, a low calorie meal at dinner that I wake up in the middle of the night if I can even get to sleep. A 90 calorie treat usually lets me at least get to sleep but I understand that’s not an option for Keto. Perhaps a handful of veggies at night if you have some that are low carb? Mornings after a small dinner are killer for me.

My doctor told me to eat a banana before bed and I would sleep all night. I’m on Keto so nope, that doesn’t work. So 1 small fat bomb before bed and 3 125 mg magnesium glycinates do the job!

Peererjj until my food sensitivities settle down I am basically no carb. veggies have always been a problem with me I do have some sardines which also have a ton of calcium for late night snacks and the salmon, quick lower calorie but good for me stuff. glad you are getting some relief with your snacks it really does make a difference!

yep magnesium glycinate really makes me sleepy Wandawil

You do so many calculations you make me dizzy sometimes! Good luck getting that sleeping through the night into a long-term habit!

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about gaining weight right now. You are so close to goal and you are doing important research. You will easily lose whatever you gain once you get it worked out. So salmon is another meat you can eat? No reaction?

Crash I can eat salmon and tuna with no problems which is a nice thing
