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 #18 – Rough Waters
I’m not so happy, trying to lose weight on my own, I know is up to me, and I need to be strict about things. Now what I’m about to tell you, may seem like an ‘excuse’ but I am genuinely being honest about it. Growing up in poverty as a child, you appreciated the food you had to eat, as so many worse off than we were as children can tell you, I am right, anyone with common sense should, are they a lot of those?

Weigh-in #10 *sigh*
So. I weighed in this morning, before heading out to do some grocery shopping! I gained 1 lb, I know I seem to be yoyoing!! I was a little disappointed, but during the week I told myself I’d probably gain, I didn’t exactly cheat, I wouldn’t say that I stayed within my calories, on some days I came under my calorie count, it made me happy, it gave me that cushion, for just in case, I guess it wasn’t enough cushion. I am not pointing fingers at anyone at all! This is all on me, I take full responsibility for gaining anything, BUT lol, Williams mom makes some awesome lasagna…
