LCHF Chronicles - Day 4

7:30am:

Woke up at 7:30 like a rocket taking off today. Tons of energy and completely alert. I slept at 12:10am last night.

Ate 4 strips of bacon and 2 eggs cooked in butter. Drank 3 gulps of whipping cream and about 10 blueberries at 8am. I suspect I won't be hungry again until about 2, but we'll see.

I took two keytone tests last night. Both came back moderate/high. I am in ketosis, baby!

I still feel like a fat piece of lard when I eat these meals. I hope my perception changes quickly, because it's hard to continue to eat tons of things that I have always seen as "unhealthy."

Still not getting many bowel movements. Took a "hard" #2 his morning. Wish it was more, but I'll take what I can get. I am just waiting for the big one to flush me out. Maybe it won't be coming. I'm consuming much fewer calories than before. Maybe these infrequent #2's are the new normal? I hope not, I can't take all that pushing.

1:00pm:

I'm hungry! My stomach is growling and everything! It's not ravenous hungry, but I feel my body craving calories. I feel that I could put off eating for a couple more hours because the hunger is very subtle.

Body feeling good.

Evening:

Feeling very tired by evening. Incredibly sleepy and a headache setting in. Don't know if it's ketosis or something else. Had to drive 3 hours tonight. Light dinner. I fear I didn't eat enough calories or fat today. Is my body not getting enough energy?

Went to sleep exhausted.
