Day 70 of San Francisco Shelter in Life ★ 1week Keto Life

It's Day 70 of San Francisco Shelter in Place order.  Since I started ketogenic Life Style , it's been 1 week.  I thought I would write my keto experience every week to share with whomever is interested in keto life and for myself mainly for my record and motivation.  

Before I started ketogenic diet , I ate almost the all carbs I wanted...breads, chips and cake for until the last two days before keto.  It's pathetic but I love carbs so much and needed this ritual before starting on full keto.  I gained 3lb. because of that and I started from there. 

Day1 : I had really bad diarrhea (ew! sorry!) for about 30 min.  I am not sure if it was keto flu or just the fact that I ate too much the previous day?

Day2 : Severe headache though I always have headaches at least once or twice a month *hormonal headache I think so I am not sure if it was keto flu ... but I had to lie down for a while.  I didn't take any medications for that but I took tumeric supplement for it.  

Day 3 : Woke up with light headache...took some more supplement but it was okay the rest of the day

Day 4-5 : No headache  No hungers

Day 6 : Strong hunger all day.  Insomnia (keto flu ?)

Day 7 : Fatigue all day (keto flu ?) 

It seemed that it was quite a bad week but actually it was not so bad a week at all.  I felt no hunger for the most part except day6 and maybe little on day7.  I was eating so much carbs so I expected severe keto flu but so far it's not bad at all.  I always have headaches and hunger from my high carb diet so maybe I am used to it.  Last week was i prepared fun and challenging new keto recipes and enjoyed dessert without any guilt!

challenging new keto recipes

My last week weight loss is 6lbs!  I guess the first 3lb doesn't count since I gained 3 lb right before my starting date.  Still, I lost 3lb from that.  I never lost any pounds without starving myself and I did the exact opposite last week.  So, it's a big win for me!

1st week of keto life

These are part of my last week keto foods ↑.  See?  pretty good volume right?  I made lots of new recipes such as keto zuchnni bake, keto rasberry cheese cake cookies and keto pancakes!  All foods were very satisfying and surprisingly delicious!
