This is my challenge to become and remain ketogenic and to train consistently for a year. I will be giving up beer, carbs & sugar (may have a little carbs on long rides). My ultimate goal is to spend the year working out how to stay fit and healthy for the rest of my life. I will journal the highs the lows and any tips for those wanting to try to be ketogenic.

Day 53, Long day, still feeding cold
Went to bed early again, still waking with night sweats but as I didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn I managed to feel more rested.
Glucose: 5.4
Ketone: 0.1
Breakfast: Coffee, butter, nuts
Lunch: Burrito salad box
Dinner: Prawn cocktail, crab mayo, 2 M&S salads, mixed nuts
Snack: Pork crackling, almond butter
Ride: None
Still feeling quite coldy and run down, no will power so basically just eating if hungry to avoid eating carbs. I would say for the last week I have been low carb 50-70g ish rather than my normal zero carbs <20-50. As a result I have not been in ketosis but equally by blood sugars have been stable (apart from Sunday morning). I have not, a part from my cold, felt any ill effects of the low ketones, that said I have not been exercising so I have not had the need to produce lots of energy.
I have been eating too many nuts, nut butters, yogurt, coffee, wine and not enough veg and proper food. I need to regain my focus, getting back on the bike will help, it always does. This week has been really busy and hard and being under the weather made it relenting. Home late from work a little TV then off to bed.
