My Keto Diet Journey

The end of the week is much better than the start. After being drained last Saturday, it took me until Tuesday to recover but I only blame myself. Rachel, the PHD Advanced Nutrition team member that I have been working with told me that it would be a good idea to have  Ultima Hydrating Electrolyte Powder  on-hand to help maintain my electrolyte balance. I did not have it on-hand so I ordered it from Amazon and paid a little extra to get it as soon as possible.  I received it on Monday afternoon which is why I did not feel right until around Tuesday. I have been drinking one in the morning and one in the afternoon so I feel fine and doubt I will find myself in the same situation again. If I know anyone starting the Keto Diet, I will tell them to get an electrolyte supplement sooner rather than wait until you need it. I've been learning to take some time out for myself everyday. I have known that I need to do so for a long while but have never felt that I really could not carve out

The week started well but this weekend, I have not been feeling so well. I believe it is the Keto Flu which means that my electrolytes are a bit out of wack.

I went for a walk and decided to just keep walking as I was feeling great. I ended up walking a little over 7 miles which was great but about an hour after I was back home, it hit me. I think it's a bit odd that I have been noticing some things that should not happen for a few weeks. One thing is I have been having more dreams than I have in the past. All are good and I feel refreshed when I get up. I also feel like my energy is fairly level all day. I had not been tired at work like usual. We'll see how this week goes. BTW: I am down about 5 pounds this week from 197 to 192. Most of this is water weight but it is a nice start. Hopefully I will see 1

Intro I was inspired to go on the Keto Diet to loose weight after I saw the success that my friend Scott had on the diet. He is a real evangelist of the Keto Diet and Dr. Ashley Lucas at PHD Advanced Nutrition . I will be working with the PHD Advanced Nutrition Team remotely as I am not near any of their locations. I decided to go with PHD Advanced Nutrition rather than someone locally as I feel confident that I will be able to hit my goal with the team and the support of my friend, Scott. Last week, I had a phone consolation with Dr. Ashley Lucas. After speaking with her, I understood more about the program and was excited that she felt that I should be able to hit my target weight in 16 weeks. I then had a follow up call from Rachel who is helping me to get started. I have some homework for the first week. One of the main assignments is to write a letter explaining why I am getting started on this path and what I hope to get out of it. The reason for the letter is to solicit supp
