Day 5 / 5lbs down!

I feel great today because I officially lost 5 lbs!! I can't believe it! Supposedly on the keto diet u don't eat that much because you feel "full" - I haven't had that feeling until today. I never skip lunch but today I looked at the time at work and realized "OMG its already lunch time?" Usually by lunch time I'm feeling hungry. Today I wasn't and actually I stayed "not hungry" for the whole day at work. I did have 2 eggs with cheese for breakfast this morning though. I think it has to do with that no carb bread I made out of flaxseed last night.

Whatever the case, I wasn't hungry at lunch so I just snacked on some pork rinds throughout the day AFTER lunch was over, but I didn't even feel hungry for a full meal.

Not sure what's for dinner but I'm thinking I may have a few hot wings with celery sticks. Yep. That's what I'm having! TGIF and I hope I can keep up the good Job over the weekend!

Breakfast - 2 egg patties with cheese
Lunch - nothing because I wasn't hungry!
Snacks - pork rinds
Dinner - hot wings w/celery sticks

Day 4

I'm starting to crave bread. I feel okay energy wise but my cravings are kicking in a little. Gonna try to make a low carb bread i seen on YouTube.

Breakfast - egg patty, cheese, smoked turkey and half of avocado.

Snacks - almonds

Lunch - salad with 1 boiled egg, smoked turkey, cheese, bacon ranch dressing

Snack - sugar free jello

Dinner - shrimp cocktail, 1/2 slice of low carb bread.

Day 3

Woke up today and seen the scale said that I'm now 3lbs down! I did my first test with the ketostix and it said my ketone levels are high, so I'm happy about that. I know what I'm seeing on the scale, but i won't believe it until the end of my first week is over. lol

Today I realized AFTER I had already got to work, that i left my debit card at home and only had $6 cash. I had to think of something quick, low carb and cheap. Here's what I ate so far. Will update dinner later on!

Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, coffee

Snack before lunch: half of avocado

Lunch: I decided since i only had $6 to go get me some pork rinds (0 carbs), finish the rest of my avocado, and to-go-package of Tuna. I also bought some almonds that I plan on snacking on later. Lunch was a total of $3.

Edit:
Ok so for dinner i had a Wendy's chicken Cobb salad. Surprisingly i only ate half of it bcus I was full!

I also snacked on another boiled egg and a few more almonds before dinner.😊

Day 2

Was shocked to see that I lost 2lbs this morning. I know weight fluctuates so I'm not gonna get my hopes up high.

The cravings aren't so bad yet, but my mouth has been really dry so Ive been drinking lots of water.

I went and bought some ketostix and I'm going to test it out tomorrow morning.

On to my food!

Breakfast - half of an avocado, coffee

Lunch - can of tuna with mayo, 2 boiled eggs, pickle, half of avocado.

Dinner -Main dish: Chicken breast strips mixed with veggies. Side dish: "Loaded Cauliflower" which is cooked cauliflower w/cheese on top, bacon bits, butter, and a bit of sour cream.

Snacks - mozzarella cheese stick.

Hey yall! I'm Melissa. I wanted to start this blog to keep track of my journey. I recently came across a lovely lady who lost 50 lbs in 5 months and was so shocked at how fast she lost it. Her result pictures were amazing! When I asked her how she did it, she told me she was on the Ketogenic Diet. I had never heard of it. Long story short, I did a bit of research and decided I wanted to try it, so here I am!

Breakfast - I was running late so all I had was coffee w/stevia.

Lunch - Jack N the box grilled chicken strips with a slice of cheese melted on top. Pork rinds.

Dinner - I cooked green bell pepper, cabbage, onions, kale, habanero pepper and seasoned it. Had about 2 cups

Snacks - sugar free jello, 2 Vienna sausages, finished rest of my pork rinds.

Current Weight: 171 :(
