Today was busy busy busy! Not much to report, really. I inadvertently ate 2/3 a Keto Brick for lunch because I thought my husband packed half. Not a big deal, just bumped my carbs a little high. I ended up working late and was hungry when I got home so added a spinach salad to … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 16

Hello, y'all! I live in coastal North Carolina and have come to keto within the last two years. My husband and I have started, stopped, and restarted keto and are very serious about it now due to diabetes and joint and tendon problems. I am using this blog to track my progress and to also share tips, tricks, and recipes for doing keto southern style.
Deeper State Keto – Day 15
Today was a good day macro-wise. I decided to fast until lunchtime since I ate so much yesterday. There was a pot luck after church (where someone had made a 7-layer chocolate cake), but I was good and only ate the food that I brought with me. I did have one sausage snack stick after … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 15
Deeper State Keto – Week 3
Week two of the Deeper State Keto program is complete. I'm not satisfied with my week 2 and want to recommit to week 3 so that I can really see some progress. I also want to bring weightlifting back into my routine this week. Cardio will increase to 18 minutes of stationary bike twice this … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Week 3
Deeper State Keto – Day 14
This ends the second week of my DSK journey, and today's eating was way off track. Our local chocolate shop, Chocolate Creations, launched their keto and sugar free chocolates today, and I tried most of them. They had truffles, molded chocolates, and almond clusters. They also did chocolate dipped strawberries but I passed on that. … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 14
Deeper State Keto – Day 13
Today was a long and busy day at work. The good news, though, is that I am not horribly hungry anymore, so I am not snacking. I'm not sure if this is from getting used to being back in ketosis or from being distracted. We will see what the weekend brings. I said farewell to … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 13
Deeer State Keto – Day 12
Today's topic is self-control, again. I love eating. Food tastes so good, it is fun to experiment with flavors and cooking, and I think about it probably a lot more than I should. I also enjoy overeating and sometimes feel like I am missing out if I don't match the amount of food my husband … Continue reading Deeer State Keto – Day 12
Deeper State Keto – Day 11
Today was a pretty easy day for Deeper State Keto. I was in meetings that pushed my lunch back to 2pm, but I wasn't ravenous. I think my body is getting used to taking in less calories. When I got home from work, there was a big, beautiful steak cooked and ready for me to … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 11
Deeper State Keto – Day 10
Today started with a doctor's appointment. I'm really excited to get the results of my bloodwork back. I've had two rounds of bloodwork in the last year; one before keto and one after about 4 months on keto. All of my markers had improved but my cholesterol had increased about 50 points. I asked my … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 10
Deeper State Keto – Day 9
Not a whole lot to report today. It's much easier to stick to the plan while I am at work. It has been a busy day and I haven't been hungry because I was distracted by work. I ate 1/6 of a keto brick as a snack because I had a late meeting and couldn't … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 9
Deeper State Keto – Day 8
A couple of challenges today. On Sundays, when my dad is home from work, we typically go out to lunch after church. Today, we went to Mission BBQ to celebrate my uncle's birthday. It is extremely difficult to eat out while on DSK macros. That is something I am going to have to work on. … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 8
