Week 16 on Keto

As a result of my weight being stagnant for a couple of weeks, I decided to come out of Ketosis and then go through 5 days of no carbs (as much as possible) this week. Coming out of Ketosis at the end of last week shot my weight up and then it crashed down with the 5 days no carbs.  I lost 2.4KG this week with a total net weight loss of 10.8KG. This is not the lowest I have been on the Keto challenge, I am however feeling happy with the results of the no carbs and plan to do it again in about a month or so.

Week 13 on Keto

I got back from my trip yesterday and I was tempted to extend my none-Keto diet. I however decided against it mainly because I looked in my fridge and pantry and didn't have a lot of none-keto stuff available, so, I decided to hit the ground running. Morale of that is - don't keep junk around and you won't even be tempted to eat it except of course if you then go out to buy some and defeat the purpose. I weighed myself bright and early and I was at 78.5KG which meant I had gained 2.4KG over the course of 2 weeks. I had expected this, so, I was not phased. I just picked up and continued on with the journey. I lost a total of 1.5KG this week, which means I have to drop about 1KG to go to get to where I was before the vacation. My total weight loss at this point is 10.2KG.  Below is what I ate and did this week Day 85 Weight(kg):  78.5 Breakfast:    Skipped  Lunch:           Diet Dr Quesadilla Supper:        Goat Suya...
