Well, 60 days are over for Keto and as a whole, I felt the plan was healthful (with careful attention!). I did reach my goal of losing 10lbs, and just in time as we head to Italy for a wedding and my dress will now fit!
Things I like about Keto:
- Effective results while maintaining macros.
- Plenty of calories!
- Eating fats that guard against dementia/Alzheimer’s.
- Great recipes with low glucose content.
- curbed my daily coffee and chocolate intake.
Things I do NOT like about Keto:
- Feeling weak when I work out, during intermittent fasting. 😝
- Bad breathe (!) from eliminating keotones. My family mentioned an “odd smell” during fasting periods, so I chewed gum constantly.
- Missing out on some seasonal fruits and some vegetables. Peaches!!!
- Too much meat and dairy. Sometimes I just can’t eat any more meat…
With all this knowledge I’m hoping to move forward into a “less-carb” existence that includes ALL of my beloved veggies, fruit, beans and grains! Recently, I ate 2 large dates (15 carbs!) and ran an effortless -4 miles. I did not feel faint. I then enjoyed an egg with veggies, a lowcarb muffin, fruit and a large cup of black coffee- JOY.
For the record: I would recommend this, for a 30 day stint.
