Mid Week Update

Mid week update here. I haven’t received the product yet so I am currently doing my old-faithful routine of 1300-1400 calories a day, under 25% carb and lots of water with about 30 minutes of slow elliptical a day due to my injury… and it’s not working.

I’ve added IF (intermittent fasting) and still… not working. I haven’t lost an ounce but I think I have lost at least one friend. I’m hangry all the time.

Looking into the intro packet for Product One, it appears we will be doing a strict ketogenic diet. I admit, I had to google that. I am familiar with ketosis – that’s what makes Atkins work – but the ketogenic diet is different in that once you achieve ketosis, you are required to intake large amounts of fat.

Google – will having too much fat in my diet kill me?

Apparently the results are out on that one. Some studies say yes but mostly those are pertaining to the unhealthy fats. Ketogenic diets require butter, heavy cream, cheese, etc. And even people not associated with the Product are big on ketogenic diets for weight loss and other health benefits. 

Ummm and while I’m having a hard time mentally accepting all of those devils back into my pristine diet, from what I read, mentally isn’t the only place that I’ll be taking a beating. The introduction of all that fat will give me bad breath, gas and diarrhea as well. (I cannot spell that word correctly the first time for the life of me Thank God for spell check…)

BUT I’M IN! YAY (stinky) ME!     

Just so you realize the absolute integrity of my dedication to this project, please be aware that I don’t have a toilet at work. I have a portajohn. And it is WAAAYYY over there. So if my guts go into a digestive WWIII, it’s going to get fugly.

I plan to get my stats listed somewhere on here this week...but no 'before'  until there is a successful 'after.'

That’s all I have for you on this flamingly wonderful Wednesday.
