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
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
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

Obviously, based on the changes in my measurements, I was retaining a ton of water. I expect the loss to begin slowing this week. My measurements today are: Weight: 237.6 (down … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Week 2
Happy National Keto Day! I had every intention of staying on plan today until I learned that a local bakery was starting to sell Keto cupcakes on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I'm a sucker for new products and I like this business so I bought some cupcakes. They were fabulous! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 7
I could feel the ketone energy coming back today.m and I haven't been so terribly hungry. I had one bulletproof coffee for breakfast. For lunch, I had a six ounce burger on top of two ounces of romaine, one ounce of Asiago cheese, and 2 tablespoons of Primal Kitchen Greek dressing. It was tasty and … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 6
Today was pretty easy from a diet perspective. I was not as hungry during the day and didn't have to drink a second bulletproof coffee. I had a good deal of energy, as well. When I got home from work, I was hungry and ate a bunless bacon cheeseburger with a small salad. My macros … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 5
Not much to report today. I went back to work and was busy all day, so I was distracted from being hungry. I didn't adjust my dinner steak to cooked instead of raw before I ate a piece of keto brick, so my macros are a little out of whack. All in all, it was … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 4
Happy New Year! Since it is New Year's Day, I started the day by reflecting on resolutions and goals. My goal for this year is to focus on my physical, mental, and emotional health.

Boy is this ever going to be a process and a challenge! I was prepared for 10g total carbs to be a difficult limit, but I don't think I was prepared for the hunger and the cravings from being off keto for a month. The morning started off well and I had energy when I … Continue reading Deeper State Keto – Day 2
