#keto beginner

Today is the first day since I started keto where I’ve got really hungry out of the blue (this used to happen to me all the time) and my stomach actually started rumbling. It was around 11.15am I started eating. I used to not have breakfast and sometimes not eat all day but now I seem to get hungry around 11.

Apart from lettuce leaves (where I can’t add carrot or egg to make a nice salad - I’m completely out of eggs) this is the last of what I have in my fridge or pantry that I can eat on keto that will make any sort of meal. Maybe I might have some stuff in my freezer. It’s shopping time tomorrow night in any case and I might have a veggie box delivered any time this week.

This is literally just bacon, a few leftover kale leaves, a very few slices of spring onion, and the leftover sauce from the chicken the other night with the chicken fat in it. I’m out of kale, broccoli and cauliflower now.

One week since I've started keto woop woop

As I've mentioned before, the first few days were tricky and I was eating way too much fat, as my Cronometer app wasn't set properly.

I know I'm in ketosis as I've done several tests and they all show that, plus I feel better in my self. My cravings are fewer and less intense, I can control my appetite more, I feel full most of the time, my energy levels are more even during the day.

So, here are the measurement, one week in:

- under boobs - 78cm

- thigh - 56cm

- hips - 98cm

- calf - 36cm

- boobs - 91.7cm

- arms 26.5cm

Super happy with the results!!!

I HAVE LOST AT LEAST ONE CM AROUND EVRY MEASURED AREA!!!

AND IT ALL SUMS TO 12.3CM!

Yes, I know this is water, I've done my research, but I am pleased with the results and I'm hoping it will continue!!

Im particularly pleased about the 2.5cm in my arms and 3.8cm for boobs!! Happy days!

My hips are particularly wide, so even one cm less is a blessing!!

Proud of myself!! 😍

Just Wow -One Skillet- Creamy Lemon-Garlic Chicken Over Zoodles

I say it all of the time but it bears repeating: most often the best recipes are born out of necessity. I knew I had too much zucchini sitting in the refrigerator; I knew I wanted to make something very low carbohydrate; and I knew I wanted to make chicken. Charlie and I both are citrus and garlic lovers, so this dish was almost a no-brainer, except for the sauce. We are both attempting to limit…

I decided on making this dish a couple of days prior to actually doing it. This is because Charlie and I are literally obsessed with food. We saw someone else making Chicken Parmesan and then we started drooling over the idea of fried chicken.

We are on the Keto diet plan, so this means no flour and no pasta. My daughter gave me an awesome new Keto cookbook, so I got right in it and learned that…
