My CKD Results

[HG Pennypacker]

HG,

Have you tried your cofee with heavy cream yet?

It's soooooooooo good.

I've been drinking skim milk since I was 16 years old. Regular milk tastes like cream to me at this point, so cream tastes almost like a solid compound. Like I said, it's not kicking me out of ketosis, so i'ma happy camper.

That's good to know. I've been drinking skim to since I was about 16 too, I guess, maybe even younger. But the heavy cream just makes the cofee taste so great. Just thought you might be interested. If it's working for you then great! Any other advice?

I'm no expert. This is my first time doing this diet. I did a lot of research ahead of time, though, and still do. I test myself quite a bit because I experiment with different foods to find out what kicks me out of ketosis. So far the only thing that seems to kick me out is: 4 bowls of ice cream and 3 bagels on my carb up day. It seems that neither aspertame nor citric acid kick me out of ketosis. I had a glass of diet root beer last night and stayed in.

I'm new to it too. I test myself all the time as well. How long do you let the sticks sit? I usually weight about a minute. If I see a hint of purple then I feel better. Mine have never actually turned deep, deep purple. Am I not waiting long enough? Any shade of purple is good I am assuming?!?

According to the bottle, you're supposed to compare at 15 seconds. I've never been any higher than moderate, but even if you're trace, that means you're in ketosis.

are you going to do anything differently knowing what you know now about CKD?

Got as low as 186 last week. Carbed up on Sunday and was 190.5 on Monday morning. Not too bad.....that's 2 lbs less than I was after last week's carb up.

Energy is good, although I lose it a little as I get into the weekend. I'll probably switch my carb up day to Saturday for the rest of the summer because I had no energy for baseball on Sunday.

My original goal was 185 by the end of July and I think i'll be there, at least, this weekend. My revised goal is 175 by the end of August.

Try to get past the first week when things are suppose to get better....LOL.

I just need to stick to it....I had too many distractions....going to try to avoid those now.....good ole HG is going to keep me motivated.
