Keto Weeks 1 and 2
Week 1 - Keto Flu
I won't lie to you. I was afraid. The keto flu research indicated that at least 90% of all people starting Keto experience flu like symptoms such as cold sweats, fever, headaches, nausea, vomiting, ticklish prostate, and irratible bowel syndrome. Okay, some of that was made up, but you get the gist. For me, I think there was a little foggyness (I love making up words) but nothing too tragic. I was thirsty all of the time which forced me to drink enough water to supply a small village. The first week left me way too hungry for my liking, but I held firm and stayed the course. With no access to a scale and no money to buy the Keto strips, I fired blindly into this new world with nothing but my wits and a pair of tighty whiteys that would make Walter White proud enough to call me his prodigal son! My original stats are bogus and cannot be verified. Also, bacon!
Week 2 - Flu Gone; what's left?
So here I lay, dry heaving on broken dreams and false promises, but I digress! Week 2 went off without a hitch. I still had a major appetite and something weird started happening with the water. It wasn't poisoned or anything like that. I realized that if I don't drink enough water, my body would let me know in some not-so-subtle ways. My throat would get dry and itchy, and I would feel hungry. As soon as I put water in my system, I was right as rain! Towards the end of the week, I had finally managed to acquire what I can personally attest to being the best scale in the world. Cue shameless plug:
What makes it the best? Well, it is incredibly fast, accurate, and it costs about 30 bucks. The company that makes it is family owned and operated! However, what set the bar for me was the back lit blue display. I could weigh myself with the lights off while gawking in awe at the blue light shining brightly in the darkness. Now I know how cats feel chasing laser lights. It's pretty freaking awesome! So far, I have lost 8.2lbs after being stuck in the 250s since February. Also, bacon!
