I'm Jaynee, 32 yo, and a Nursing Student (Grad May 2018). I love sharing diaries with friends, please add me!

After having three wonderful children, I finally had lost most of my baby weight in 2014-2015. 2015 I was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer, which explained the expedient weight loss (with exercise) of my previous baby weight. After my thyroid was removed, I gained 30-50 lbs and had been stuck. Even eating healthy, I was not able to maintain. Started Keto as a lifelong journey to health on 10/06/17. I like to be a purist and prepare from raw ingredients but will use convenience to stay on track once in a while.

Going to Germany in November 2017- Would like to be more active without fatigue. Graduating Nursing school and getting married in 2018.

Hi! I am on KETO because I am hypoglycemic, have brain fog, inflammation and pre-diabetes! Living this lifestyle takes all those stmptoms away and I feeI amazing! I fell off the wagon last week but am starting again tomorrow! I am aiming for the 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% fat ratios. Although the first week I have to slowly drop the carbs from about 15% down to 5% over 7 days because I am Hypoglycemic and my body can't do the cold turkey drop in carbs. I did have a stall for 2 weeks but then the weight started coming off again. I eat a lot of canned and frozen greens because they are quick to prepare and super low in carbs. These are my usual daily foods:
Breakfast:2 Eggs fried in bacon grease, 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup mashed sweet potato with butter
Lunch: 1- 5 oz can of tuna, 1 Tbs Mayo, mustard, sugar-free sweet relish, 1/2 avocado, .5 oz bbq pork rinds, 1/2 cup of green veggies
Dinner: 3 oz of meat cooked in bacon grease with onions and peppers (season to taste), 1 cup green veggies, sliced tomato with drizzle of ranch.
Snacks: (between meals, as dessert and as calories & macros allow) 1 oz of cheese, 3-5 whole walnuts, 10 almonds, deli lunch meat, boiled egg, pickles, 1Tbs PB, Breyers Carb Smart Chocolate Almond Vanilla ice cream bar, Russel Stovers Sugar-Free Pecan Chocolate Caramel Delights, sugar-free jello, sugar-free mints, sugar-free gum.
List of green veggies I eat frozen, fresh or canned: okra, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, collard greens, spinach, celery, lettuce, edamame, cucumbers, bell peppers, cilantro, Brussels sprouts, snow peas.
Other low carb veggies: Tomatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower (great rice, mashed potato substitute), spaghetti squash

I hope this helps...it's always good to see what other people eat.
Good luck and feel free to message me anytime!

Hello all, I am a little over a month into keto. I have lost 17 pounds so far. I feel better, I eat less calories, and thankfully I have broke my addiction to sugar. I do take a men's multivitamin daily, and I take a potassium supplement because I have not been getting much potassium and I have been having leg cramps. I am glad I found this group. I was looking for a way to connect with others who are on this keto journey.
