It's day two! I'm happy to report that my carbs ended up being even lower than originally prelogged, coming in at 16g yesterday. Today my day looks very similar.
I'm a daily "weigh er"- always have been, and when I got on the scale today I was 126.1- down from 127.8 yesterday. Yay for water weight and reducing inflammation!
How are the rest of you feeling? Whats your food diary/exercise look like for today?

Great job Laure! I'm not a daily weigh er... So nothing to update. But I'm feeling fantastic!!!:happy:0

I have to admit I felt rather "off" in the morning yesterday, but after lunch, all of a sudden I felt fantastic, so perhaps I'm starting to click over in terms of my fueling faster?
This time I'm aiming my carbs much lower than I had before, and really pushing the fat grams and protein up; it's been a bit of a mental challenge, coupled with the fact that I have a new crown (read: no nuts, chewy things or gum), so there's even more to think about it, so I'm definitely taking it one day at a time.
I still need to get the ketostix to try that measurement as I'm curious, and hopefully today will be more of a spot-on day in terms of my carb/protein/fat levels. Work in progress that's for sure.
I will say I feel lighter, though I haven't weighed -- I had to break my daily weighing habit a few years ago as it was getting obsessive. I now look forward to at least a weekly weigh in AND check on body fat, which is really what I'm after in the end!0 -

Can you eat some protein? Salmon or Chicken? This will fill you up and won't use up your carbs! Good luck, lady!0 -

How many calories are you allowing yourself? It's probably too low if you're feeling poorly. Or it could simply be your body is shifting rapidly from being a sugar burner into a fat burner. The first few days are the hardest. It gets waaaaay better fairly quickly, less than a week, sometimes just a few days is all it takes. Eat lots of fat, seriously, lots of it. If you're hungry eat. This is not a diet that encourages deprivation.
Take a look at my diary from the past three weeks, you'll be shocked at how many calories I've been eating and am still losing weight....sometimes way over 3000 per day. Don't let the old calories in calories out rule sway you, it doesn't really work that way with ketosis. Eat til you're satisfied, just watch the carbs.
And please, lean on us here! We're here for you, and I'm super glad you're giving this a try.0
