Well its been just under a week and I’m so happy to report that I have maintained an eating regime of consuming 20 total carbs a day or less for the past 6 days.
So far my weight has dropped drastically in the past 6 days however I can not count my start weight as the beginning of last week as the week prior to my challenge I was on a high carb diet for 5 days which caused my weight to soar up 10lbs in 4-5days.
I will be calculating any loss I have based on my weight prior to that gain which as of today Ive lost 3lbs above the 10lbs gained in days 2-4 which was likely just water gain etc. . or high carb shock, lol, I dont know why it happens however anyone who goes off keto will tell you the same( boom, an explosion of temp weight gain) . so if you wan to add in that silly water gain then in total I’ve lost 13lbs.
However 3 lbs down in 6 days is still amazing. I cant wait to see what this next week will bring me to.
Im very proud of myself for two reasons, 1) I’ve never tried nor did I believe I could maintain 20 total carb or under day as a vegetarian & 2) I’ve been cheating my way through weekends and restarting a low carb week every week now for likely more than a year, so I didn’t even believe I could get out of this bad habit, which of course I still feel very high risk of, especially the week of my birthday which is coming up on the 13th.
Overall though my hunger has decreased, my motivation increased and most importantly my inflammation has been eliminated when comparing to last weeks pain.
Cant wait to see if this week I will break my stall, even with this loss, Im sorta back to where I was at Christmas, but Im reaching to get back to where I was before the New York gain last Oct which brought me to today’s current weight. So while successsful , my true determination for the month will be to get back to or under my New York weight which will be a total of 8 more pounds, so I hope I will do it.
More updates to follow..
