Of Bread and Butter

Butter is now a growing trend in America. The science of fat is evolving and our eating habits are changing because of it.

Where I Stumble

It's lovingly called the "Bacon Diet", which might imply that it's simply one of the best diets around (in the event that you are a meat-eater). It makes Keto sound simple, flavorful, and hearty, and for the most part, it is. But then you go outside your home and realize you can't afford to eat steak everywhere.

I [heart] Almonds!

 

There was a point when I first started this diet when I thought I wasn't going to make it. I wasn't going to last a week, let alone years. The Keto board on Reddit sometimes addresses "snacks", but I was reading a lot of people turning to things like pepperoni, hard boiled eggs, complicated recipes, and things that required a lot of moderation if they were to be eaten. But I needed potato chips...

The First 20lbs

I'm fairly open about my weight. It's obvious enough that I'm physically a bit "bigger", so why hide the number? Unless you intend on playing a "Guess My Weight" game at a festival, it really doesn't matter.

When I started this diet back in the middle of February, I was about 274lbs. Now check it out:

Update: Continued Effort

I want to share a bit of what's been going on and some recipes that have been a huge help in our journey so far.

The Keto Diet

A few weeks ago I made a post about developing a lifestyle change in our diet (my husband and I). Shortly after that a friend of mine messaged me on Facebook about how her and her husband used the Keto diet to lose some weight before their wedding and have since regularly adopted its principles as part of their diet.

So we decided to give it a go.

Out of the Cabinet: Chipotle

Sometimes, but not often, being addicted to something isn't terribly bad. However, the unfortunate thing is that the world might still want to get between you and your true love. Such as a few nights ago when I really wanted Chipotle, but between having limited money and crazy amounts of snow, my only choice was to put on my apron and get to work.

The Journey So Far

So many people in the world today would say they want to lose weight, but only a few truly make the life changes necessary to do so. I want to be one of those few people.

Review: Jawbone's "UP" Band (1st Gen)

After wearing one for about a month, I'm going to pass some judgement on this popular fitness tech.

The Jawbone "UP" band is a fitness bracelet that tracks movement and sleep, then connects to a mobile device via the headphone jack in order to by synced with their UP application (on Android and iOS). It is charged via USB every 10 days and is meant to be worn at all times.
