It's been a few since I last posted. I am still running 74-77 pounds lost, which puts me about 8 pounds from my goal weight. I have been playing around with my carb intakes for almost 2 months, trying to see exactly where I can intake a few more and still lose. It's not a mathematical science nor even ideal and magical. Frustrating actually. I have learned tortilla chips in low moderation don't raise much concern. With that being said, I should have stayed with low moderation. Went to our local Mexican restaurant last night and since I have discovered eating tortilla chips under 15 of them didn't raise any weight gain I decided to push the envelope. I ordered a nacho supreme dinner. Chicken, jalapenos, cheese, sour cream, guacamole...all the low carb goodies PLUS the tortilla chips. I do NOT RECOMMEND this. I have literally been sick since 7am. Vomiting and diarrhea most of the day. Kind of like KETO FLU only in reverse..from too many carbs. Now mind you, I only gained 1.5 pounds from the palate indulgence but my Lord, the sickness from eating a million carbs vs my 15 carb daily intake is HELL. This is my 3rd and worse cheat in the almost 2 years of doing this. I do not play around with sugar and still avoid it at all cost. Needless to say, the 3rd time is a charm. There will be no more cheating because the instant pleasure is not worth the sickness I have today. It hurts worse than a hang over and no morning beer to stop the hangover if you know what I mean. You have to ride the storm out.
Other than that little screw up, I have been doing well. Inches still keep falling even when the weight numbers move up and/or down. Still in my size 5-6 from 18-20 and still in medium shirts vs size XXL. So the good still outweighs the bad which is good enough for me at the moment. I have a goal to lose the last 8 pounds before the end of Feb. Wanting to maintain around 133 to 135.
To those newbies, keep on. Don't give up. To the veterans....you know what you need to do. Until next time Keto on and NOOOO CHEATING!! Trust me on this.
