One solid week of keto in the books! I'm not sure if it is the dietary change or the few nice days we had last week, but I'm feeling better than I have in months! I am seeing progress on the scale, I'm eating foods I enjoy and I'm staying in a deficit.

losing 3.3 lb a week

Normally, I wouldn't log a half pound drop but it made me smile to see it. Today marks day 2 of a keto style diet - I'm feeling pretty good about it so far. I generally stay well hydrated anyway so I'm hopeful to avoid the dreaded "keto flu" that comes with the loss of water and electrolytes. I'm also super happy that we're getting a little bit of spring weather this week. It was around 45 this afternoon so I got out there for a little 3 mile walk! The nice weather should hold until Friday so I'm planning on getting outside for walks each day until the cold temperatures return. Today was a small win for me overall, I hope everyone else has little wins to celebrate as well! Please feel free to share your wins with me!

losing 0.4 lb a week
08 March 2021
Starting today, I'm switching things up and giving keto another try. I've been tracking calories for 6 weeks now, averaging about 1450. I've been pretty careful with my measurements and intake but I've only seen the scale drop between 2-4 pounds in that time frame.
I had a LOT of success with keto in 2018/2019. I was able to lose 25 pounds in about 4 months and felt fantastic, then I started trying to stay under 1200 calories as well to zoom towards my goal. I found it very difficult to stay keto with such a low calorie budget so I switched over to CICO with no focus on carbs. That enabled me to hit my goal weight in June 2019. Unfortunately, I started obsessing about my calorie budget, seeking perfection instead of progress and feeling pretty bad about myself in the process. After a few months of 1200 a day and feeling starved, miserable, tired and sad, I gave up. Looking back, staying keto was never the issue, cutting down to 1200 calories or less was the issue. THAT number is just too strict for me and has set me up to fail over and over again.
I went totally off the rails, stopped tracking anything, stopped being active that winter and eventually put on 12 pounds. Then the first covid wave hit and I found myself furloughed, bored and stressed. Gyms were closed, the weather was still frigid and I did nothing more than snack, binge watch TV, drink beer and nap. I gained 14 pounds in 6 weeks last March/April.
I feel like 1200 calories a day is just not healthy for me mentally to stick with but 1350 sounds doable. I'm calculating my macros and doing this with a fresh mindset and a lot of introspection.
Please share your favorite keto snacks, meals or success tips!
