For the first two weeks of keto, every single physical activity I committed myself to felt like going on an early morning bike ride after a very late night of drinking. I had zero motivation, my muscles never seemed to warm up, and every limb felt extra heavy and less responsive. Things got better, but I wouldn't have stuck with any kind of gym regime had I not have had a routine already in place.
. While I think it's 100% possible to sustain a keto diet for a longer time frame, I was satisfied with the CPR effect my 30 days had on my eating habits, and eager to carry my learnings back into my regularly scheduled social programming. While my grocery store expenditures remained about the same ,, due to all the meat and raw vegetables I was obliged to chop and cook.Keto ended up being both a mental and physical challenge.
I stopped worrying about every little bite, knowing fully well that on a keto diet, I'd be able to trust my body's hunger signals and not confound them as"cravings" signals. I got better at controlling my portions, re-learned how to say no to treats and junky foods, and even scaled back my drinking . I highly recommend keto for anyone who has the budget and the mental headspace* to take on the challenge.If you're anything like me, it might encourage some healthier eating habits. At the very least, you'll come out of it with a renewed appreciation for all your carb-ful foods.Top trending videos
