Today is my first day on ketogenic diet, I need to change my ways. My doctor just told me that I am pre diabetic and very close to being diabetic, that scared me to death, so I decided to try this diet.
Please share with me your experiences and frustrations, we can do it, just gotta get passed this first 3 days.
I dream of the day that I can say "I've lost this many pounds and have reached my goal"

    @Afroditaa77 - Unfortunately, I was IR first, which triggered the predisposition to PCOS, both of which combined to trigger the predisposition to hypothyroidism, etc. Also, these things are very often co-morbidities because one often triggers another or the cascade before we realize how bad the issues are. Or if you're like me, you put off going to the doctor because you really had no idea that the sugar addict thing could be insulin resistance, and by the time you did go, you were so deep in the addiction that it took years to wrap your head around making serious changes, like going low carb... But happily we're here now! Time to change the world. :)

    Wow. I didn't know one thing triggered another one. Hopefully we can fight these deseases for good

    These 2 last days have been good. I think I ate too much today, low carb but still. I ate a lot of asparagus and hopefully the scale tell me tomorrow and I will correct that from here on.

    TW 195
    I'm doing it. And I'm very happy. Drinking lots of water. I craved a sweet drink today so I had a crystal light package, I felt so guilty but it tame my cravings.

    If you like waffles, check out this recipe for when you've been in keto for some time, and are adapted.

    Just keep in mind that sugar substitute will usually de-rail you, and give you the runs, so it's best to use vanilla extract - just pay mind to what extract you buy, because some have either sugar or sugar alcohol in them.

    That sounds great. I don't like sugar substitutes. Not even stevia.

    I'm at 191.8. Slow

    I was given cholesterol meds and syntroid by my doctor. Hopefully it will help me feel better. And hopefully the cholesterol Meds won't hinder my ketosis

    @Afroditaa77 - why are you on cholesterol meds? Depending on which one you are on, they can do more damage to your body than help. There are a bunch of cholesterol videos others can share with you, but essentially, most statins reduce cholesterol by killing off part of your liver and such. MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS - unless your trigs and LDL are each over 300, untouched by diet, no freaking way would I take them. "Cholesterol Clarity" by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman... Please, do you research! (hugs)

    Please remember fat is your friend. To help with sugar cravings, incorporate coconut oil into your life. Eat more butter with your food. Get rid of vegetable oil. The more fat you eat the less cravings you will have.
