Yesterday was my first day on the Ketogenic Diet! I started to start on the 1st, you know; new year new me? But, I had a migraine and didn't really prep; by prep I mean binging on carbs! Because, that day I was like but I didn't drink a cup of milk yesterday and what about these crackers I got from Trader Joe's. So, I postponed it until I felt better.
Having watched my husband on this diet for the past month or so makes it a bit easier. I kind of know what it takes, but that doesn't make my willpower any stronger. I have a really difficult time not snacking on chips, cookies, and other junk food. Plus, the prospect of not eating dessert is a little frightening. Haha. I LOVE dessert! But, with a family history of diabetes I need to get passed that. I can do it, right?
I have found that snacking on macadamia nuts and peanuts works to curb my snacking tendencies, but I can't eat more than one serving at a time. In fact, not more than a couple a day; depending on how many other carbs I have had.
What about you? Are you trying to improve your health this year? Are you on a Ketogenic Diet? Another diet? Let me know in the comments, I would love for you to share!
