Began on a CICO (calories In Calories Out) diet in late Junebut quickly researched newest findings in weight loss, metabolic disorder, and carbs. Steadily lowered total carbs to 25 total carbs per day after viewing research papers on the effect of carbs and insulin on the metabolism. I'm more than halfway to a healthy weight and I'm feeling really good and steadily in ketosis. BIG revelations: I used to think that feeling satiated meant feeling full—feeling satiated is a new feeling; I do not crave sugar or bread (and bread was a huge weakness); I don't feel hungry very much but when I do I want a meal, not something quick.
