The last weigh-in was a little disappointing, especially since it was just the 3rd week in. But I have to say this week is much better, and along the lines of what I am expecting, or close to it. I did what I said I would. I looked at what I have been eating and made adjustments. There are some meals that are homemade, and even though my husband helps me with determining calories for certain meals, I have allowed myself to have extra calories at the end of each day, at the minimum I try at least 100 calories. Just in case. Ok well, let us have a look at the photo now. I am happy with my results for the week ending January 29, 2023. I always weigh in first thing in the morning on Sundays. Hence why I am wearing my nightgown and slippers. I need to find my cat slippers they are warmer * and cuter, lol. I wore them in past weigh-ins Continue Reading
Ketogenic Dieting
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
Happy New Year 2018
So what is going on with me? I leave this blog for a whole year with nothing added. My diet went down the drain, but I have plans of starting a new one, a much different one. A Keto diet. I am excited to do it, as I have said before, it is not just a diet, it is a way of life, a lifestyle change. My honey, however, is going to join in, because it will just make things hard if it is only me doing it, and he wants to lose a bit of weight he gained since he stopped smoking and drinking, wow huh? Big props to him for doing it on his own! Apart from the diet things, this blog has literally gone nowhere. And that is because I have another dedicated blog. I wanted to have just a diet blog, but it doesn't seem like that is going to work out. This domain is soon to expire, and I think I just may let it. I don't have much on here as far as Continue Reading
