Think I know what happened this week. A couple of things: first, I had stopped taking my diuretic over a week ago thinking I didn't need it anymore because I was losing so much water being in ketosis. Secondly, I have been doing "intermittent fasting" which means I only eat 8 hrs per day. I noticed in the middle of the week that my weight was up to 245 lbs again and I was feeling "puffy" so I had one of the nurses check my BP and it was up to 157/86! When I was on my diuretic (HCTZ 25 mg) I usually ran 130s/70s. So for the last 3 days I have been back on my HCTZ and I shed a lot of water weight! I guess despite the natural diuresis of being keto, my body still tries to hold on to water. I have been making sure I am getting enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

I also realized that though I was keeping my carbs low, I really wasn't eating enough fat so I have been making a conscientious effort to increase it. This is somewhat difficult because I am not naturally a big fan of meat, but I have been eating things like chicken Vienna sausages, which have a lot of fat but don't taste too fatty and last night I had Italian sausages.

If I had kept on my old way of eating, I would have become a diabetic and not only would I have to watch my carbs anyway, but I would have to take insulin or oral meds AND have the terrible secondary effects that diabetes carries (eye, heart, liver, and kidney disease).

I am thankful that I finally saw the light and thankful for all the support I get from this site.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Had a good weekend staying on plan. I have also been experimenting with "intermittent fasting" and found it to be incredibly easy. I eat only between 12 noon and 8 pm, so in essence one fasts for 16 hrs of the day (including sleep). This seemed easier to me than fasting whole days several times per week. I have not been hungry at all in the mornings and find that I have an incredible amount of energy. I do not have cravings or hypoglycemic spells (those are awful!).

I also got an answer to the concern I had about by breath ketones being lower than previously. I was able to chat with the inventor of the Ketonix meter, and he said that what this shows is that I am now "keto-adapted," meaning that not only am I manufacturing ketones, but that I am burning them as fuel now. Makes sense. Surprised that the cravings for sweets has gone but I am glad to no longer be a slave to them.

Good luck to everyone else on this journey!

Wow... I guess I must be really carb sensitive.

Last night was our end of the year meeting for our physician group and it was held at a local Crowne Plaza. I knew there was going to be a meal, but didn't know what kind of food would be served so I played it safe and didn't eat much leading up to it. In the morning, I blew a 79 on my Ketonix meter (which is considered high ketosis) so I felt good. At the gathering was a buffet. There was Caesar salad fixings, sliced meats and cheeses, roasted and pickled vegetables, roasted chicken, baked scrod, rice pilaf, sliced tomato with fresh mozzarella with balsamic glaze, broccolini, and all sorts of breads. On the dessert table were a variety of mini cannoli, tiramisu squares, coffee, sweetened flavoring additives like caramel, Irish cream, etc., and teas.

I got the salad minus the croutons, some prosciutto, a chicken wing, baked scrod (scraped off the breading on top), tomatoes with fresh mozzarella (scraped off the glaze), roasted red peppers, and broccolini. I only had water to drink with the meal, and after I had a cup of coffee with half and half.

I got home at 9 or so and logged in what I ate. I found that I was low on calories so I had some smoked almonds. I blew a 77 before I went to bed so I felt good.

When I woke up this morning, my acetone (what the Ketonix measures) was down to a 55! My weigh in is not until tomorrow AM, but I am getting nervous...

Any suggestions?
