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,…

New Year, New Trials and Tribulations, Let’s GO!
Last year was ok until I hit that bad bump. But it is 2017, Happy New Year, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, we did. I am excited, and I am back on my diet (way of life) lol. This is my 5th day. Saturday was my second weight in, so I will show both in a moment, but I will tell you, I did gain weight, that is a no brainer after my last post. So here we go (again)~! BUT I also lost weight, so Yay! I began writing this, last week so I do have an additional weigh-in. I thought about titling my weight…

Day 38! Success in 30 Days!
I am so happy to report that after 30 days (even though today is day 38 lol). That I lost 28 lbs juicing! I am so so happy, but oh so very hard. Omgosh. I got to the point of feeling depressed, and I didn’t like that feeling. I read that would pass, but it didn’t so when my next 30 days started, we agreed with my fiance that I would do one meal in the evening with him. So with Valentine’s Day approaching, I wanted to spend that time not worrying too much about what I ate. So we had a nice weekend, had Subway, and then on Valentine’s…

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. But for those that don’t I am having a bit of a struggle with my weight, I have not gained the 100 lbs back thankfully, but I am yo-yoing. This weigh-in, I lost only 1.4 lbs, I try to average 2 per week. But 2 weeks ago I lost 6 lbs, so yeah kind of makes sense. Anyway, as I mentioned, I am going to be posting weekly again. I have…

Slow as a snail! But I don’t Give Up!
I am back. The past 3 months I have had quite a struggle with my weight loss. I am very happy to say I have not gained back the 100 yay!! But the struggle has been harder than I thought. After the 100 lbs loss, losing more has been a yo yo thing. I lose, than I gained. I do blame myself though. I was stricker during my first 100 lb loss. By now I should have lost 24 lbs but I have not. I have only managed 10 lbs, which is still something, but as I mentioned, it has been nothing but a yo-yo effect. It has bummed me…
