Keto Diet | Day 2
Weight: 62,2 KG — I don’t think the keto diet made me lose 1 KG in one day. Maybe water retention… or something else?
Waist: Unknown, I still didn’t get that measuring tape.
Target Weight: 57 KG
Being a consultant and all, I thought of tracking my mood and weight across the 30 days trial. So, I have decided to track my mood on a scale from 1–10 to measure my grumpiness or that keto flu that comes with starting this new diet.
Yesterday’s Mood: 9
Today’s Mood: 7
Although I had more energy yesterday, I am still feeling pretty good today as well.
So, what happened with my day?
Breakfast:
- Coffee without milk
- Blackberry smoothie with almond milk — That one though did not turn out as good as I thought it would be. It felt like it needed some honey in, so I through in a couple of stevia sweeteners. According to the Internet, it’s one of the best options for a low carb sweetener alternative: Click here, here and here. It got slightly better but not as I hoped, so it looks like I am going to have to do some research to see how to enhance the taste of that smoothie to enjoy it.
Mid-day coffee: I had the double-shot ice-shaken from Starbucks. It was done with half cream, half almond milk and it was absolutely delicious, even better that what I usually order. I think I am going to try that at home soon.
Lunch: Chicken salad with avocado — quiet a safe bet.
Snack: I got hungry really fast. I had two tablespoons of peanut butter, which was delicious. However, it turns out, I really need to be careful with my intake of peanut butter due to it’s high calorie count and the fact that it contains some carbs. I am yet to find a carb free peanut butter.
Dinner: Cooked white fish with spinach and cream. It’s amazing how that fat and protein mix can make me feel full even after feeling very hungry. I had a late dinner.
Dessert: 90% dark chocolate. If you haven’t acquired the taste of dark chocolate, you wouldn’t enjoy this one.
PS: Looking at fries doesn’t help. Avoid that if possible. Otherwise, my cravings are intact.
Hopefully tomorrow, my mood will go up. Or stay the same?
Night. Xoxo
