Day 3 Keto. I survived the keto flu. I am down one more pound. My belly looks less bloated.
I am still practicing intermittent fasting. I stop eating between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. every night and don't eat again until noon the next day, unless it is breakfast with mom day.
From the time I wake up in the morning, until I eat, I consume much water. And tea.
I feel like I can stick to this plan. And if I perchance should have an off day, it's easy to get back on board.
The keto lifestyle is a little bit more difficult. It is quite challenging avoiding carbs. And I personally do not care to consume too much meat.
I'm doing well so far. I think eventually I will transition to a whole food diet, allowing rice and beans.
What is interesting to me is that I am still cooking for other members of the household, while sticking to my regimen. But I cannot tell you how many times I almost put a morsel of food into my mouth as I was cooking. Almost without thinking! Luckily I caught myself.
I am guilty of many many years of compulsive eating! You cannot put a bag of potato chips in front of me. I will not stop!
Which brings me to an extraordinary discovery - BACON CHIPS!!
I found the "recipe" on Pinterest. I mean, you pretty much chop up a bunch of bacon in little squares and bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Not much of a recipe. And only one ingredient!
They are quite satisfying. I had a couple with dinner. And I was not tempted to eat more than a few!
I also made a lovely cream of broccoli/spinach/mozzarella soup using heavy cream. It was divine! And I discover avocado chips! Another simple recipe: Avocado, parmesan, lemon juice and seasonings. They were good, but a little chewy. I used them as floaters in my soup. Below are pictures of my meals for the day.
I need to run now so I can have a little snack before my cut off time.

| OMGoodness. I look like I've had a wee bit too much caffeine here! But I do notice less poof. Maybe I have Keto-Mania? |
P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 88! Just like a piano! (88 keys)
