I think you said your goal is to stick it out for 8 weeks. I couldn't manage that. I'll be really curious to see how you feel in 4 more weeks.

It has been tough having to say to so many foods I normally eat. But I've just tried getting creative with the things I can eat. I told you a few of the things I eat to help satisfy my cravings for sugarry foods. But now I'm trying to get myself in the mindset of removing much of the protein I've been eating. If I'm not in ketosis, the amount of protein I've been eating is probably the reason why. And when I do make around 90% of my calories come from fat, I'll likely do that for less than a week. I think that's how the keto diet is done when it's used as a last resort to treat epilepsy. And I said in a post a few weeks ago that it can take weeks after starting a keto diet for your body/brain to get in ketosis. But I believe I was wrong. Our bodies actually go into a mild form of ketosis during the night when we sleep, after just a few hours. And if the diet's done right, one should go into full blown ketosis after a few days. But being in ketosis is different from being "keto addapted", where your body begins to prefer fat/ketones for energy. And when switching back to a regular diet, you'll have withdrawals from your body craving more ketones. Just like your body craves glucose early in a keto diet. Keto adaptation is what can take time.
Anyway..... I will likely be eating 90% fat for some days here soon and see how it affects me. This kind of dieting is tough, but i just imagine what I might just gain if this diet helped me out. If I get anything good from this diet, I'll be letting everyone know :)
