- Sugar Alcohols - these kicked me out of ketosis almost immediately. Much of my problems then were related to this.
- Bouncing - I would do OK for a few weeks to a month, then have a bad day or two and start all over.
Any comments greatly appreciated,

Welcome back! After being stalled for 10 years (though maintaining a 110-pound weight loss) I also got back to trying new things during my Covid lockdown, and I've lost 40 pound since April, though my loss seems to have dramatically slowed down now so I'm playing with other options to try to kickstart the loss again.
I don't eat tons of veggies myself, though I do like leafy greens and things in a stir fry, which seems to add more bulk and fill me up more. I don't use sugar alcohols much but I do use stevia for occasional sweet things.
Everyone (well most everyone since not many of us are perfect) has "bad days" from time to time. I've probably had way more than my share! But a bad day doesn't mean you have to start over. It just means you have a good day afterwards and keep going. Having a journal here can definitely help keep you motivated and on track. |
