This morning my pee test was dark pink. The scale said I weigh 186. I guess this is it.
I had a couple false starts and the scale didn't move off 190, which was depressing, to say the least. I did an almost 24 hour fast-23 hr and my pee test the next morning was light pink.
I had spaghetti with Garhett for his birthday dinner (that's what he asked for), followed by a 26 hr fast and that's where I am today.
I've long thought that if I stopped eating, my metabolism would shut off completely and I would gain weight. A Keto fast is different because you're allowed a few things I didn't expect: powdered greens, beef bone broth, electrolytes. I had bone broth with a cube of beef broth for added salt-that's another thing I'm not used to. I added cumin, spanish paprika and ancho chile seasoning, it was delicious.
This isn't going to be hard at all.
By the way I've added a lot of recipes to my Pinterest, like this Coriander-Roasted Broccoli which I will have with a 4 oz hamburger patty and a couple strips of bacon. 3dbc45e151bc979c123e1c647b2cff67 page https://www.pinterest.com/MacieBoughton/_saved/ some are from Food and Wine.com and I've made a few tweaks.
Speaking of tweaks, I'm going lighter with protein than Drew is saying in his book: Complete Keto. He doesn't say anything about male/female portions, so I'm guesstimating.
And I just bought Zero Carb bread on Amazon so I can make french toast for breakfast!
