Ketogenic Dieting

February 2, 2018 by Emily Leave a Comment

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Almost half of children, and young people, with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures Continue Reading

New Year, New Trials and Tribulations, Let’s GO!

January 17, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

Last year was ok until I hit that bad bump. But it is 2017, Happy New Year, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, we did. I am excited, and I am back on my diet (way of life) lol. This is my 5th day. Saturday was my second weight-in, so I will show both in a moment, but I will tell you, I did gain weight, that is a no-brainer after my last post. So here we go (again)~! But I also lost weight, so Yay! I began writing this, last week so I do have an additional weigh-in. I thought about titling my weight status as I did before, but since I won't be doing one each week, I may just group a few. I really have so much going on, I have to organize my time better. It is so hard, though, I get sidetracked, and that throws me off. I managed 40 minutes of walking on the treadmill today lol, man I miss where I was before, I really Continue Reading

Weigh-in #10 *sigh*

June 21, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

So I weighed in this morning, before heading out to do some grocery shopping! I gained 1 lb, I know I seem to be yo-yo-ing!! I was a little disappointed, but during the week I told myself I’d probably gain, I didn’t exactly cheat, and I wouldn’t say that I stayed within my calories, on some days I came under my calorie count, it made me happy, it gave me that cushion, for just in case, I guess it wasn’t enough cushion. I am not pointing fingers at anyone at all! This is all on me, I take full responsibility for gaining anything, BUT lol, Williams's mom makes some awesome lasagna  I do watch how much I eat and still try to enjoy a nice meal, but the temptation can be unbearable sometimes. I think I am pretty good with temptation though. There were a few times I wanted to cheat and not tell William, but I tell myself, I am only harming Continue Reading
