Eat More Fat! The Nutritional Ketosis Challenge continues... page 80

[demuralist]

I got on the scale this morning expecting either to stay the same or a gain and I was down 2 pounds. I'm at my smallest weight pre-pregnancy with my middle daughter since 2000! I'm at 201 pounds. I never thought I would see this weight ever! I broke the dread 203 hump. 203 has always been the weight that I reach and then something bad happens in my life that adds stress and I start to eat emotionally and throws everything out of whack. I'm almost to my next mini goal of 199.

fantastic, so excited for you!

@mks8500 For most of us who have been on this WOE since the beginning, it took about 2-3 weeks to get everything dialed in. Patience is key with this.

Congrats! Nice job! This morning I put on a pair of jeans and a shirt that I haven't worn in about two weeks, and they are literally hanging on me. Whopp! I will weigh in the morning. I am one of those psycho people that could weigh 12 times a day..Since I started Paleo/LCHF I am only trying to weigh once a week(Saturday morning) Ill update tomorrow if I the scale is kind. Also, just on a side note, I have been having vivid, bizarre dreams this week. Anyone else experience this while on Keto?

I guess I'm finally in ketosis. My mouth tastes like a goblin miner took a giant coppery shit in it.

Well, if that is not a ringing endorsement of this WOE I don't know what is. Start printing up posters.

I have had 3 nights in a row with vivid dreams, I had assumed I was just being awakened in the middle of them. Interesting. But sleep quality is through the roof!

Nice job Pebbles!

I'm frustrated. I want to make sure I don't sound like one of those that whine because they haven't lost anything because I do understand that it happens sometimes. However, I've GAINED weight and I'm in ketosis. I don't understand and I'm frustrated. I haven't fallen off the wagon, I'm exercising, drinking plenty of water and have a ton of weight to lose. Here's what I've tracked the last week. I think my blood ketone monitor arrives today...I hope. Thoughts anyone?

P.S - The Ketosis column is a grade I give based on the color it matches on the ketostix. The 4 is purple. The 3 is moderate.

Do you eat dairy? Dairy always stalls my weight loss. I did have one tablespoon of blue chesse dressing this week though. My problem with dairy is when I start eating it, I can't quit. I love cheese, cream etc..but it seems to cause huge cravings for me. The very small amount of blue cheese dressing this week did not send me into a dairy craze. Anyway, maybe look at your dairy consumption and re-evaluate(if you do dairy) Just my thoughts.. Happy Friday!
