I am now on day 6. I've kept well under 1500 calories each day. and the carb count is under 30 but never at 20. It's hard to eat only 20 carbs and get enough calories. Am I hungry, yes. I am. But it's not hard to eat a snack when I'm hungry and then move on. I'm able to keep the cravings at bay as well. I'm using diet orange soda to keep my sweet cravings satisfied. Last night I hate all the meal I made to full. I just needed to feel full. But again, I think I was only at 23 carbs total.
Am I at ketosis? I have no idea. I'm feeling better. My mind feels clearer. I don't feel as foggy as I had in the past before the keto diet. So I got that going for me... haha. At night I'm tired but I"m not exhausted like I was before the diet. I'm surprised I"m not tired. When I did that low carb diet years ago, I remember just being exhausted. But that was a high protein, low carb, low fat diet. I wasn't doing it right at all.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep this up. I really want to, but I know me. I'm tired of being fat and I like the way this diet makes me feel minus the hungry as hell, however, I'm eating to lose weight on top of eating low carb. Friday will be my cheat day. I'm taking the kids to 6 flags and I'm gonna eat what I want. Hopefully the lines are too long.
