That Fat Boy Slims – The Ketogenic Diet – Day 4

Getting up out of bed this morning was a struggle but once I was awake proper I had a ton of energy and sorted the kids’ sandwiches out for school and prepped my food for the day in work.  I did have a fat bomb as I was prepping as I didn’t want to face the same fiasco as yesterday with them melting in work!

I know I shouldn’t but I did have a cheeky weigh this morning and I’m down 4lbs…

I still had things I really shouldn’t, but again, I want to eat it rather than waste it and figure out snacks and such that is more in line with the diet.  That being said, I did take a tub of cheese cut into cubes and some two Kabanosy to snack on too.

My walk to work was pretty energetic despite the back pain and I felt pretty damn good but my energy dropped late morning/early afternoon.  Another “spoiler” with yuck is next…

More yuck
You were warned. Again. Around 12:15 my stomach started churning and the liquidy sound as if water is trickling through pipes started. I had to go to the toilet. My stomach was complete agony but it felt more intense than my IBS flare-ups so I assume it’s my body purging itself of the crap. Pardon the pun. After that, I was fine for a bit until around 19:20 when I had to go again. Thankfully the pain was nowhere near as bad.

The headache has been a constant again today, too.

The walk home wasn’t as energetic and my legs did start to ache at the usual point of my journey but not as bad as usual.

I have felt a bit ‘bleh’ today – not sure if it’s my hayfever as I’ve been sneezing a bit since this evening and my head feels all bunged up so I’m hoping it’ll pass.

Dinner was pizza with a turkey-parmesan crust.  It was lush.  My main love on this diet is the fact that I can eat cheese.  I fucking love cheese.

Water consumption has been stable over the last few days at around 3L.

I also avoided espressos today as I struggled to sleep last night so hopefully I will be a bit better in the morning when it’s time to get up.

Macros-wise, today has been better with a reduction in carbs but protein is still high and fat is close but no cigar.  But it is improving so there’s something.

I currently use Muscle Food and their amazing deals on meat hampers.  If you want to grab yourself a great deal, head over here.

Additional supplements such as Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut Oil etc. we get from Holland & Barett.
