ok I will be honest. I have not been doing keto for about a month, I started making bread with my sourdough and it got too tempting, I put back on 4 # and holding. Sure comes on faster than it comes off.
I have started back yesterday, I have not been perfect. ate 1 slice of fresh bread last night, the baking aroma got to me. But today is a new day. I did much better but not so sure my portions are as small as they use to be. and I only ate 2 bites of bread. Tomorrow is a NEW DAY.
I am finding that my hunger is subsiding, so the food is more satisfying. If I remember I will weigh tomorrow morning to see if these two days have helped. wishful thinking. I did cut out the sweet breads on Sat.
I will keep you posted on my journey. I hope all of you who are trying, are doing better than I had been. Getting back on the boat is harder the second time especially when you are baking for the hubby.

Today was easier. I did not cheat on anything. no bread. I was tempted having fresh bread on the cupboard! But I did not do it. I even mad my husband fried potatoes tonight and didn't cheat. I did eat 3 time today compared to my old normal of 2 times. I had a chees omelet for breakfast. For lunch I had a sloppy joe over some avocado. and for dinner omitting the potatoes, I had a 2 oz cube steak & Brussel sprouts fried in 1/2 lb diced bacon, adding a few radishes to the mix.(radishes actually turn sweeter not hot when cooked).
I did not weigh myself this morning. day got away from me early and was busy until noon. maybe tomorrow.

I seem to be doing a lot better but still finding I have a bite or two of forbidden foods.
I find that the dinners prepared the keto way seem to be more satisfying, Stay with me longer, which has begun to take away a lot of urges. I also find that bread seems to be a real culprit in defeating my venture of eating better & it does not make me feel good, the keto chapini is more satisfying and does not make me feel bloated. So giving up the bread is becoming easier.
I do find that certain vegetable that are forbidden on Keto are not forbidden on Paleo. I may work with this as my carbs have always been on the higher note (35 not 20)
1 pound down consistently... 3 more to go to get back to where I was before the covid crisis break.
Hope you all are doing well with eating for your health. We sure have many different personal issues so feel free to use this room to post your favorite recipes that are on your particular health diet. We may all benefit from them.
God Bless us everyone :)

Well as much as I hate to say it , Keto is not working for me. It seems my body is rejecting it since I took a month break. Not because I cant stick to it. I found I could go back with the same intent as before. HOWEVER... my body rebelled. I have digestive issues and this time it just said NO. Now what do I do?
I have some good recipes and I do not want to give them up. I have two choices, 1.) low-carb but eat more fiber based things and not so much proteins. 2.) or work Thin Healthy Mama guide into my daily guidelines.
THM is more complicated. Its watching what you eat at a meal (or on a day plan).
One day (or meal) is Fat Free which is called Energizing meals or simply "E". It consist of 5 gr fat & 10 up to 45 gr carbs.
One day (or meal) is low carb, called Satisfying or simply "S". it consist of greater than 5gr fats and only10gr carbs.
One day or meal is referred to as Fuel Pull or simply "FP". it consist of less than 5 gr. fat and less than 10 gr. carbs.
You are suppose to create meals of this nature on a day to day basis or mix it up meal to meal plans. and just eat small portions every 3 hours. and you must wait 3 hours before you eat again so the last one is digested. I may have to wait longer since my digestion is slower for this to work..
This time when I looked at it, THM has others meal descriptions called Crossover "C" a meal that is unlimited fats and carbs over 45.
and a second new one called Satisfying Helper "SH" which has 15 carbs in stead of 10.
I will have to investigate these to see what they are about even though they look self-explanatory.
Forbidden are Sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes.
Starchy veggies are ok in the E planning in moderation, EXcluding potatoes.
I do not know if I can do this THM one, but I am searching out the possibilities. I have tried this in the past but not for long. Right now I am looking and praying about it and trying to keep my carbs down with more fiber. Least on the E plan you can have sourdough bread which helps for 2 days of fiber (if you do the day to day plan) because you should not have more than 2 E days in your week.
The weekly plan could look like this:
3 S days
2 E days
2 FP days
or
1 S day
1 E day
1FP day
1 S day
1 E day
1 FP day
1S day
or
Mix them up
The meal plan could look like this in one day:
FP breakfast
S mid morning
E Lunch
FP mid afternoon
S dinner
FP snack
or mix them up
I will keep you informed to that my next move is. I need to do something so I do not go backwards, I need to keep my progress. even if I have 4 extra pound from covid vacation. Least it is not 20. "As they say with covid... We are all in this together :)"
If you read this Cheryl, I know you did THM one time, if you have any advice or insights, please share.

Thoughts for today after looking and playing with THM it yesterday.
Its complicated
Not sure what I am doing... yet, do not want to abandon this if it can get easier in my thoughts. I think I will give it a week to see how I feel about it. today I feel it will be a lot of trial & errors but I guess that's not much different than being off the plans altogether.
