    I almost got Fritos yesterday. Then, I realized that before dinner, I was still under 500 calories! No wonder I was exhausted and didn't want to cook. Ate steak and green beans, didn't want Fritos anymore! I think I need to make lunch my bigger meal of the day, especially since I can batch cook stir fry, taco meat, roast, or barbecue for me (my husband won't eat any of those). I think I might also be low on salt. I barely salt my food, but I do salt my water. Took a salt capsule this morning, will add more to my water, and take another tonight.

    Be very careful with the salt caps. In Arkansas, where I grew up, the temps lived at 110-125 through most of August and September (harvest time for corn, and going into cotton). So people took salt tablets. They don't dissolve well, so they sometimes just sit on your stomach lining, promoting ulcers and other aggravation. Open the salt caps and pour the salt on your food or in your drink. Just my 2 cents.

    The ones I have aren't the tablets, they're actually capsules that you can see the pieces of salt inside. I'm not worried about them not dissolving, but thanks for the warning.

    Just out of curiosity, what did you previously eat that actively tried to kill you? And can I watch it on youtube? :)

    Well, it sure feels like some of them are trying to actively kill me from the inside out, does that count?

    Awesome! I have also just hit 5 days. I plan on weighing on Monday so I'm not sure how much I have lost. I'm good with most of the low carb food but I can definitely tell that I am going to get tired of eggs for breakfast.

    So be weird and eat pot roast for breakfast. Or fish. Or Chicken. Or...

    Just because other people call it breakfast food doesn't mean you can't eat other things then!

    I need to ramp up coconut oil more slowly. Added a spoonful to my stir fry yesterday, still feeling the results.

    Other than that, I'm on day 9 of not eating things that actively (or passively) try to kill me.

    If it isn't the coconut oil, then I shudder to think of what I'm going to have left to eat soon. The only other thing I can think of is FODMAPS. If that's the case, I have the book I should be eating by, but that diet gets insanely restrictive until everything heals back up...

    Funny thing is, my digestive system feels fine. I just have to keep going and going and going...

    Don't worry yet twibbly, unfortunately coconut oil is known to do that. Some people do need to start slowly with it. :(

    Yeah, I've had it before, just never had it last that long!
