Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I tried butter coffee this morning(YouTube). I have used cream in my coffee for years.

I may just start drinking butter coffee regularly. It is yummy!

People who know me, know that I have a penchant for water fasting. I first did this a good many years ago. I have gone over 20 days several times. My longest was 26. The energy levels really go up once your body is in a state of ketosis. Plus the radical weight loss.

So why do I still have weight to lose? Because my back hurts all the time(I just spent 4 days on my back because I hurt so bad it was difficult to take a breath). I end up snacking to take my mind off the pain.

I was told that once I am sailing all the time, the weight will drop off. Great!!! I have been trying to get to a point where I can do that.

I was doing smoothies. I like them. I have now switched over to a ketogenic diet. Very low carbs, high fat and some protein.

You can go to YouTube and see a lot of videos on this. Still doing smoothies. But now have cut out all sugars and almost all carbs.

Yesterday's smoothie. Kale, broccoli, romaine lettuce, fresh green beans, half a tomato and coconut milk. It actually was not bad. Had my can of salmon with it. My breakfast was bacon, fried in butter, and eggs fried in coconut oil. Was satiated all day. Late last night I had a piece of mozzarella cheese.

I have test strips coming so I can check if I am alkaline or acidic. Also strips for checking to see if I am in ketosis, so I can modify diet if needed. As I get further into this, I will be adding more vegetables. It is an experiment with my body. I am looking for a sustaining way of eating that works for me. So...not really a diet. It is a lifestyle change.
