low carb means no cheating

I have been in a stall for the last month.  So I cut my carbs down to almost nothing, ate clean protein and drank my shakes, and worked my diet.  I could tell by the smell of my urine I was going into ketosis.  Yea!  (It takes a lot to get me into ketosis.)

Then I ate a piece of cheese bread! 

And I dropped out of ketosis.  All that hard work...  It takes me 5-7 days to get into ketosis, so eating any simple carbs is turning this whole thing into a ground hog day.

Lesson learned.  Cheating just a little can be enough to set you back for the week.  

 

 

I hear you!  I think I might have gotten a non-skinny cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks yesterday even though they swore it was skinny. I saw a gain on the scale this morning.  Not too bad but I'm starving today to make up for it. Weigh-in on the LW board is tomorrow morning and I want to at least be the same as last week.

What's the LW board? Just curious.

We have a board here on ObesityHelp for folks that started this journey between 35 and 40-ish BMI w/comorbidities.  All surgery types are there. There's a link to it in my siggy.

No need to go skinny, ask them to use light cream we dont need to worry about fat or calories

I am 4 months out. I only lost 15.5 lbs over the last 2 mo. (51.5 total out of 120 total to lose) I know I've been eating too much and xercising not at all. We have been in chaos of sorts. 88 yr old mom having med. problems; doing caretaking. Sold house moving out of state. Living at moms house. full of carbs. terrified i am blowing it. 

It doesn't sound like you're far off most WL targets but the stress is probably eating you up.  I hope you can slowly switch out the carby stuff for proteiny stuff.

We're going to be traveling for next month, helping kids move, caring for grandchildren, etc. Any ideas for protein on the road?

Hi,

Jerky, nuts, protein power & shaker... safe travels.

 

What Whit said and take a cooler with ice blocks for cream and babybel cheese.  : )
