A few months ago I started the keto WOE, hoping desperately to lose weight fast... At the end of 6 weeks, I really wasn't seeing results. And, quite frankly, I was wanting to indulge on sweets and breads, so I quit.
Now I'm here, trying it again, and after 9 days of really sticking with the right program, I am amazed that all of the articles about the benefits are real. Energy! Lost appetite! Longer times between meals!
But here are some things that I'm doing different than the last time:
1. I'm limiting my cheese intake. I would use cheese to get my fat grams each day, consuming 4-8 oz of cheese a day!
2. I'm limiting my daily coffee & cream intake. I was having too many cups of coffee with cream and half&half. I probably wasn't logging the qty of carbs correctly. I will admit that I still start everyday with a cup of drip coffee, heavy cream and sugar free syrup. It's a staple that will be hard to ever change in my life. A successful WOE includes a happy cup of coffee in the morning. Move forward, coffee is just in the morning!
3. I'm drinking a TON of water. When I think I've had enough, I drink more. When I'm done with more, I have another. I continue each day with the thought that there is not enough water in me if I haven't peed in the last hour. It has to be the hardest thing for me to change, I have never been good at staying hydrated.
4. I'm adding butter to everything. Without fat from cheese and cream, butter is the next step. I still use coconut and olive oil for cooking, but butter, it's the best.
I'm not an expert. I read the articles and pay attention to the advice given on FS. At the end of the day, we all have to find what works to best for ourselves. So far, the small changes list above have really helped me out. :)
