Day 8, Amazing change so far

1 week in, I feel good, the foggy cloud has lifted, I have more energy and feel more positive. I am so glad I am not facing that first day of work after new year, like many people are, with the thought of dieting, abstinence, hunger and no fun.

I am totally amazed at the results I have had in the first week, I have still socialised, eaten out, drunk, enjoyed myself and not been hungry. I have gone ketogenic many times before but this has been my easiest adaptation and the best first week results.

Day 8 metrics
Weight                      80.6kg (-4kg)
Body fat                    21.3% (-2.8%)
Waking blood sugar 4.8mmol/L (In healthy range 4-6)
Waking ketones        2.3mmol/L (In dietary ketosis 1-3)
Chest                        106cm (-5cm)
Waist                         94cm (-3cm)
Hip                           102cm (-5cm)
Belt                           96cm (-2cm)

I have consumed a lot of bone broth this week, this can be made at home but it is also possible to buy it online. It is not cheap but as a meal replacement and supplement for the first week I think it is worth it. I expect I will reduce my consumption to a cup a day going forward, for example today I only had one cup (about £4, same price as a pint) but then I only ate again in the evening. Last year I made all my own broth, it is just very time consuming and does not smell great.

Today I had a really lovely day looking after the girls, I had broth for breakfast then we headed out. They wanted pizza for lunch so I abstained from eating, I was a bit hungry but ok. I made low carb moussaka and also some pulled pork to have as lunched and dinners during the week.

With no chance to ride I did a 20 min weight session, I hate weights. After that I ate a small portion of moussaka, a small chicken salad and some yogurt MCT & almond butter, it was good.
