so I think it has been almost 60 days now of zero carb. Yesterday I had a lot of bullet proof coffee (coffee + butter blended), a lot of lamb chops (one whole package, blood rare, seasoned with pepper) and some eggs (6?). Unfortunately so far I have not experienced the weight loss which I desire. I just weighed myself right now @ 207.6 (and a couple days ago was between 212-215). A week or two ago I was @ 201.5-205 fairly consistently. I suspect my recent weight gain was attributed to cream cheese and normal cheese, although my heavy coffee drinking might also be to blame. It is also possible that the theory that your body cannot store dietary fat as fat is inaccurate as of course I was engaging in heavy consumption of dietary fat as is suggested on a zero carb diet. I also had a few packs of bacon around this time which may also have had some effect.
My present course is simply coffee, eggs and very rare ovine / bovine and butter. This is basically where I was when I was stable just over 200, so hopefully this will bring me back there. Unfortunately I was not weighing myself for most of this experiment so we'll see.
Another potential problem in my present lifestyle is a lack of exercise. Yesterday I was very active but today I am paying a very small price in my nerve damaged foot. I might be more sedentary today, to heal / recover, and not leave my apartment and spend all day on my computer and cleaning. Later I will have steak and eggs (4pm?). So far today I have just had the coffee with butter. I used 'a lot' of butter, although I didn't measure it. Maybe 50-100grams and also a bunch of ground coffee and 8 cups? of water.
I woke up pretty early today. I have been feeling the odd bout of hunger lately, which I think means that I am no longer keto adapted, perhaps on account of my recent cream cheese binge. I am not going to purchase any more cream cheese. I need to get out of the habit of eating during the last 3 hours of my day. Probably I will go to bed around midnight or 1am, so I need to have my last meal around 8pm at the latest. So I will eat 1 steak & eggs @ 3 pm and 1 steak and eggs @ 7 pm. That should be good. And I will clean and do stuff on my comp all day, and then perhaps tomorrow I will do some more shopping featuring a long walk for exercise. My place is a disaster and requires several hours of intensive deep cleaning. So far I have picked up a little today but not much.
