Is it the Numbers or the Fat

Ay Im tired... I have been feeling really great for the past few days, for breakfast this morning I had another 2 of the egg, bacon, mushroom and feta muffins for breakfast with my bullet proof coffee although I ran out of coconut oil so used only the butter this morning, and for lunch I was not really hungry I had a fat bomb with a chicken drumstick I had brought a drumstick and thigh with just in case I got hungry, as I am writing this it is about 15:50 and I am soooo tired, not sure what from though, am I having too little fat? Is it the fact that I have been staring at a screen full of numbers all day? Who knows? I am really enjoying this way of eating for me the most boring of meals is breakfast although I have been trying to figure out new ideas for breakfast we will see how it goes, last night I made us some fried steak, with the gem squash recipe in the RMR book as well as cauli mash with a roasted pepper sauce, the roasted red pepper sauce was from woollies probably not allowed but I had very little just enough to flavour the cauli mash really. Normally my food would be drenched in gravy or sauce I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed the gem squash, possibly the best way I have ever had it. I am not a fan of blue cheese so I substituted it with feta and boy oh boy it was yum I made enough for dinner this evening.

What I find that really works is to make as much food as you can in advance especially if you work full time. Just makes it so much easier I think.


The fat bombs are amazing too, it looks like chocolate so in a way I think I am eating chocolate and yet I am not. Anyway I am looking forward to the next weigh in on Monday im sure I would have lost something, the only thing im struggling with is my water as I can’t drink water when it is so cold. I have been having herbal tea as a water substitute but one can only drink that much tea lol. This is really an easy “diet” it baffles me that I still felt the need to cheat but im back on that wagon and heading for slimsville.

  1. Bernie, both me and Jonita felt tired in the afternoons in that first week as well. It seems to be a common occurrence, as your body goes through a carb withdrawal. Before you know it you energy levels will return, and even increase, as your body adapts to this new lifestyle.

    As for the water, I don't know what you can do there. I am lucky I love ice cold water, so it does not bother me. Maybe try soda water? Gives the water a different texture. I think one of the people on the Facebook group mentioned finding two flavors of Soda Stream syrup that uses stevia as a sweetening agent, and they apparently taste good too. Maybe something you can look at?
