I should get some cheese I like too right? I have cream cheese and butter, but I should get some hard cheeses right? For clarification, no veggies along the way right? Just curious - I'm so intrigued by this.

IN FACT - I'll officially commit for M-Th next week EGG FAST! I'mma commit to 4 days since I'm not coming off vaca or anything LOL - Donna, you wanna join me!?!?!?

Lisa, how many eggs a day did you average? I'm telling you I could go through 10 a day if I'm not stopped lmao

Absolutely you should get some cheese.
No veggies, but you can have low/no carb condiments like mustard, hot sauce, etc. I mean, I had about a tbs of salsa one day that was about 1g carb so I think that would count as a condiment even though there were little chunks in it lol.
This time, I averaged about 8 eggs a day. One of those days I had 9.
I would definitely recommend googling egg fast recipes too, just in case you do feel like you need variety.
And once you're done with however many days you do it, make sure your first meal of the day is something eggs, and dinner can be whatever. Do that for the next day or 2. It should help to keep whatever weight you lost off.

Excited to see yall try it out! Hopefully you'll have a lot of success with it and won't find it too difficult to stick with

178.2 this morning. So down a little more.
Finally changed my weight to my new weight today. Not 60lbs down any longer, but I'll get back there and then some
Happy to be eating other stuff now though!
Had kimchi and salami slices for a snack, then a big salad for dinner.
Store has ribeye roasts on sale. Hoping they'll have some b/c damn I want a giant steak for dinner! They also have lobster tails AND shrimp on sale the next 2 days too. Oh... we're gonna be spending a lot on some good food dernit! lol

Yup.. it's basically a no carb "fast". There's also a beef and butter "fast" too that's just basically making you go carnivore for a few days. As low carb as possible.
I mean, do it how you want to do it IMO lol. If you want a little bit of celery, it's low cal and carb so I don't see why there would be a problem. According to my carb tracker, one large stalk is only 1g carb

Also for crunch... there are cheese crisps you could get. Whisps is a popular one you can get at Walmart (think I've seen them in their deli/bakery/veggies section. I've never tried them before so I don't know if they're good or not, but I do know they come in a few different flavors. And my Kroger carries cheddar or parmesan cheese crisps in the salad dressing isle where the croutons are. Crunchy and cheesy.
OR you could try making your own cheese crisps in the oven.
Shredded cheese or even slices of cheese in the oven for a few mins.

Crap! My plans might be messed up some. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, but I totally forgot about my husband getting his eye procedure done this week.
Wish I could remember what it's called. Some sort of laser thing. Not lasik. Supposed to have better results than lasik, but it takes longer for the eyes to heal. He's having it done the day after daughter goes back to school. Then he'll have a follow-up appointment Monday.
From what we've been told, the first few days after are going to be torture for him bc it's going to feel like his eyes are on fire and have dirt in them. He's probably going to be doped up on pain meds so probably sleeping a lot.
And this procedure is going to make his eyes extremely sensitive to light. Hubs bought some better sunglasses to prepare for it, but I'm sure he's going to be hiding out in our dark bedroom for at least a week and still needing to wear his sunglasses indoors for who knows how long.

Oh well... gotta do what I gotta do. Thankfully DH doesn't turn in to a giant baby when he's sick or in pain or anything though, but I know it's probably going to be difficult for a little while doing mostly everything on my own.

So.. OMAD might be put on hold for a little but b/c I'm more than likely going to need some extra caffeine in the morning. Definitely going to need it once daughter starts school and we all get adjusted to needing to wake up early again. Booooooo.......
Is it bad that I actually want to consider homeschooling just so we can sleep in?? :P lol

Oh dear that procedure sounds very painful ---hopefully the results will be good though!
Yeah --you are going to need some caffeine totally . Hope all goes well!

Thanks for the egg fast info. I am starting today ......

WOO! Good luck with your egg fast! I hope you find it easy and get great results

I'm not looking forward to his healing process, but I know in the end it will be worth it. Going keto has actually helped both of our eyes, but his glass prescriptions are always so expensive b/c of how bad his eyes have gotten.
My eyesight is a little blurry for far away things. Like I can still read what I'm writing here (sitting in the chair and my tv about 10ish feet away). It's blurry, but I can still make out what the letters are. Him though? Everything would be a big blob. I don't think he'd even be able to tell that there were letters.
He asked me if I would want something like this done. Maybe one day... but I'm very... instinctively weirded out by any kind of thing involving my eyes. I squirm and get uncomfortable even needing to put eyedrops in my eyes. It makes my annual eye exams really difficult b/c I can't sit still while the doc tries to put the drops in my eyes. I can't help it. I just want to *kitten* my eyes tight. It's why I could never wear contacts. The thought of putting something on my eyeball and needing to take it off? Hell no lol

Anyway.. blahblah.

Weight this morning was 178.6. Staying the same which I'm fine with.
I think the enzymes are helping. Still not the best poops, but I'm not pooping soon after eating some of my trigger foods which is a HUGE improvement. These things can't compete against coffee though. Coffee is too strong for it lol.
