Keto

This is my 4th week on the keto diet. I’ve done very well keeping under 50 carbs…except for last night. I went to 51 carbs because of the keto ice cream bars which have 9 carbs in them. They are chocolate with a chocolate coating and are delicious! I was alone last night and I just couldn’t resist. Some of the things I eat are not that great but they have a lot of protein so I eat them. This morning I had cottage cheese with chocolate protein powder in it. It was gross but that plus a 1/4 of avocado held me all morning. I did not get hungry until 1:00 PM. I can put the protein powder in yogurt or ricotta cheese but the yogurt gives me a headache and the ricotta cheese has less protein in it. Maybe tomorrow I will put the cottage cheese and protein powder in the blender with some almond milk.

There are some real good-looking recipes on Facebook that I have saved. I will have to try one of those. I guess I will try Karen’s egg and Parmesan cheese recipe. I don’t know why I have such a hard time eating eggs. 

Is it worth it? It is if my blood sugar and A1C go down. As a bonus I have lost 10 pounds and my clothes fit better.
