[Update] One week of Zero Carb!

Last Sunday I said that I was going to do a short trial of zero carb to see how my progress goes and to see how I feel, and some of you wanted an update.

Well, it's been a little over a week and I feel great! I have lost a total of 6.6 lbs since last Sunday. I was in ketosis before starting ZC (I've been in ketosis since January), but I'd been letting carb and calorie creep get the better of me for the past few months, so I'm definitely thinking a chunk of that loss was a few lbs of water weight. I've been busy and stressed, but I have felt totally fine. My energy levels are good, my depression and anxiety are pretty good, and I just feel good over all.

My typical day of food is:

• A cup of broth in the morning, magnesium, potassium and multi vitamin.
• 3 chicken thighs (about 220-250g) for lunch, cooked with a bit of butter.
• A nice piece of steak (250-280g) or a few sausages for dinner.
• If I need a little something more, I'll scramble up a few eggs.
• 6-7 Litres of water throughout the day.

That usually ends up being 1250-1400 calories, 95-105g of fat, and 100-115g of protein.

I'm absolutely continuing for another week, maybe more. It's been easy this week because I'm only making meals for myself (I live with my parents at the moment and dad is doing keto with me, so I usually end up making dinner for dad, mum and myself). They're away on a trip and get back this coming Sunday, so we'll see how I do after that. But if this week goes as well as last week, I'd definitely like to keep on doing it.

The one thing I want to work on is splitting up my protein intake. Your body can only process so much protein at a time, so I want to make myself eat my food over several hours, rather than 2 meals of 50-60g of protein at once.

If anyone has any questions, ask away!
