I LOST FIVE POUNDS IN FIVE DAYS!

if i continue to get results like this and believe in myself, keto will start to become a breeze! indulging in keto-friendly desserts and finding zero-carb snacks (cheddar cheese in block form of course hehe) is really helping me even more. i find myself daydreaming about a whopper or a big mac, but i tell myself that i already know how those burgers taste, therefore i’m not missing out on anything.

i’ve also spent nearly $200 on keto mixes for biscuits, pancakes, brownies, and other goodies, so there’s no way i’m letting that much cash go to waste!

keto lunch!

for lunch, i made zucchini noodle pasta with a cheddar sauce. the zucchini noodles are the frozen, ready-to-eat kind with 2g carbs for the entire serving. for the sauce, i used medium cheddar in the block form (the block is completely carb free opposed to shredded cheese) with butter and a little bit of heavy cream. i added the tiniest teaspoon of minced garlic along with a pinch of smoked paprika, and used some bacon bits and pieces of shrimp left over from last night’s dinner. to say it turned out amazing is an understatement! and so guilt free too. i’m proud of myself :’)

keto is hard, and that’s okay

day two of keto, and i feel sluggish - and extremely hungry. the past few times that i’ve done keto, it was usually the sugar cravings that held me back. i’ve made super delicious keto-friendly chocolate cake recipes (thank you gnom-gnom!), and there are thousands of keto desserts floating around the internet. but this time around, i’m craving savory foods. it’s arguably harder to find delicious low-carb savory recipes in contrast to the desserts that don’t require salads or some serious time and concentration spent in the kitchen.

however, what makes it easier is that it’s currently breakfast time on my side of the world, and the breakfast food staples (eggs, bacon, cheese) are very keto-friendly. on pinterest, i stumbled upon a fat bomb recipe that requires eggs, bacon, cream cheese, and some other nifty flavors. i’m going to try it out! it completely changed my negative morning around, and now i’m more confident to dive into keto.

the best keto snack ever?!

two soft boiled eggs marinated with a tablespoon of soy sauce = my new favorite keto snack!

the second thing i’ve consumed today! atkins makes really yummy protein shakes. earlier i had a chocolate keto bar made by slimfast, both very delicious and low-carb. the chocolate bar was only 3g net carbs, and the shake is 2g net carbs. the best part is that i don’t feel hungry or the need to indulge on food...the best part about protein!!! the only downside to the atkins shake is that awful dairy after taste. i’m so used to exclusively drinking almond milk with my shakes, and the milk in this shake is not getting along with my tastebuds lol

day one of keto...

it’s 5:30 A.M. and i’m wide awake, which sucks because i’m so tempted to make eggs, but we’re doing intermittent fasting. i don’t want to eat now and not be able to eat eight hours from now; 5:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. is not the best eating window lol.

i did a weigh-in, and i do not plan on weighing myself until next sunday. i’m the type of person who loves to do daily weigh-ins, but it can get discouraging doing that everyday. it’s also not an accurate measurement due to water weight and other factors, so i’m going to hold off on that. i gained back the two pounds i lost from last week after not being consistent with counting calories, so i’m back at square one. not going to let it get me down though!

the keto recipes outlined in our plan sound delicious. i’m trying not to think about them too much because my hunger pains are not fun lol.

the list of things i plan on doing for the next three weeks:

keto

intermittent fasting

daily walks (even on off days)

exercising

shredz supplements

preworkout drinks

keto smoothies

three 40 oz. of water from my hydroflask (a gallon) daily

i’ll document everything from here on out! wishing myself luck 🥺

*also a reminder that seeing weight loss results will taste a lot better than the burger you’re craving*

the beginning...

so these past few days have been pretty disappointing. no working out and i had mcdonald’s and burger king. BUT!! i did discover the subliminal community and have been exploring a bunch of them, and my shredz supplements came in the mail. 

i’ve already started the workout plan with shredz, now i can begin taking the supplements to go along with them. the pre-workout is kicking IN lemme tell ya, skin tingles and all. we’re also transitioning from low calorie to low carb starting tomorrow. i’m ready to boogie, let the weight loss commence! :P
