Day 29, Balance ketogenic meals, you're pulling my wing

I still felt pretty tired first thing this morning and with my cricked neck, which was worse, it was an easy decision to drive. I was really busy and almost missed out on some timely required personal admin, tickets to ROH for Emilia. By mid morning I felt more alive and I had, not intentionally, only had water with no breakfast.

Glucose:   5.2
Ketones:   0.7
Breakfast: Water
Lunch:      19 Orange Buffalo chicken wings, 20 was too many!!!
Dinner:     Water
Ride:         Rest

My ketones were again low, as I said yesterday, I am not sure if it is this or my of sleep that is a damper on my mood, but I was encouraged that I felt more optimistic as the day passed. Due to rising ketones or that I promised myself a good lunch?

When I first tried to go ketogenic, a few years ago, I did not eat a well formulated and balanced diet. I ate lots of cheese, salami, pork scratching and a bit of salad. After a few weeks I found it hard and I struggled with ketone levels. Now I eat a lot more veg, and have reduced my meat, saying that my last 2 days my ketones levels have reduced, there could be several reasons, don't panic, keep going, I will revisit this soon.

I had my 3 month laser eye treatment checkup today, which went very well. I knew I would have a break in the middle of it so I promised myself some chicken wings for lunch. Not any ordinary chicken wings but "Orange Buffalo". I went for a cheeky 20, not quite the well balanced meal I just talked of, but so good, but 1 too many I didn't want to be greedy.......

In the past when I have eaten a very protein heavy meal I have felt sluggish and with out energy in the afternoon. I expect due to excess protein being processed into glycogen, triggering a mild insulin response and lowering ketone levels.
Today however, maybe due to my lack of breakfast, no such lull, in actual fact my mood and energy continued to increase during the day. Out of interest I retested my bloods at 20.00 G4.9 K0.7 so pretty much unchanged from this morning. From this snap shot it would appear my improved mood had little connection to my bloods.

Need to get my neck sorted tomorrow and back on the bike, we all got into "Fred Whitton Challenge" and apart from Bob we all have a lot of work to do in the next 3 months, lets hope my adaptation speeds up.
