Did not update last night so I lost the right to edit so it is repeated here with facts.
DAY 26 August 10, 2012
Weight 149.4*
Glucose 85
Ketones 1.1
1522 calories (again, no real exercise and NOT hungry)
28 g carbs (15 g Net)
79 g protein (I had bacon, eggs and 6.5oz of tuna)
126 g fat (should have put olive oil on salad, will next time and that will take calories up)
*This is after eating more carbs, still under 50 net, and what I consider my maintenance level of calories. I have been wary of increasing the number of carbs in my day, I am still new at this, almost a year of eating this way and still so much to learn, but this is the perfect time to explore increasing my carbs and watching glucose and ketones.
I had my regular snack of coconut oil, shredded coconut and macadamias last night, and I was not hungry. Exercise makes me hungry. That is an interesting conundrum. If you exercise, you can supposedly increase the number of calories, but I find, for me, that I need them only when I exercise! I will not stop exercising, lifting weights and walking because it keeps my body strong and flexible, but I do not expect to lose weight because of it. That myth is gone from my head now.
Tuesday I am going on a short trip, to Vegas, and will eat with attention to my choices, but probably will partake in a few things I do not eat at home. I know I can come home and get back to where I want to be in a few days. This is also valuable information.
