Ketogenic Dieting
What is Ketogenic Dieting? Per Wikipedia – The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis,…

Weigh-in #26, I’m back! Slow Progress!
As mentioned in my past 2 posts I believe, I have continued with my dieting, if you follow me on instagram (which I urge you to hehe) I post now and then what I eat, how I am doing.

Weigh-in #24 – Could have been better!
I wasn’t pleased with this weeks weigh-in, but I didn’t gain either. It was a measly 0.9 lbs, I know almost an lb, but not quite there. As I mentioned at least I did not gain. But what had me so ecstatic this week was, I fit into a top that I fit into snuggly into 5 years ago, so over the last 5 years, I guess you can say I gained 70 lbs wow right? Yeah, it is unbelievable, how we can put it on each day. The food these days OH My Gosh, how fatty it is, and don’t get me started on fast food, that is a…
