Cheating

So i cheated a bit over the weekend. I had rice. Fried rice. Guyanese fried rice and it was so good! I regret it only a little. Right now i feel uncomfortably full, i forgot how filled up rice makes you feel. It had a lot of veggies that you're not supposed to eat on keto in it so that doesn't help. I also made some actual keto friendly food over the weekend. I made that keto cheesecake I was talking about before. It doesn't taste perfect because i forgot to buy cream but it does taste good. Especially the crust. The chocolatey-ness is awesome!  I made it with flax meal rather than almond flour and that raised the fiber count in the cake. The fiber was good for me but it seems to have hit my mother the wrong way. She went to the bathroom twice. As i said, i forgot to buy cream and didn't even have milk so to thicken the actual cheesecake part I added an extra egg. So it tastes sort of like an egg cream. I also used Xylitol rather than Swerve because i don't have Swerve. I know some people would have used Stevia and i do have that but i hate that bitterish undertone/aftertaste that Stevia has. Xylitol worked perfectly for me. Not bad at all. But i'm planning on making it the right way next time. I think i'll do half flax and half almond meal next time too.

So yeah...

It's been awhile again. I'm just no good at posting often. But i've been doing better on this keto thing. My sister in law dropped it quickly but i've convinced another person to try keto. She's been doing it for a week and broke pretty quickly. The difference is that she stopped and got back on the keto train! Good job S! I'm looking around for tons of keto recipes. I went through another month of keto, broke on my period and cheated. Juice and roti killed me. But it was sooo good. I gained almost two pounds. But i lost it again and am officially down 26.6 pounds on this keto thing. I'm exercising again so i hope to make it thrity pounds by the end of the month. It can happen if i don't cheat. So wish me luck, i need to get this weight problem under control!

I've found a couple of recipes i want to try. One is peanut butter fudge which looks awesome and only has 1 carb per piece. It has 75 calories per piece so don't go nuts if you try that recipe! I also want to try the low carb pancakes on that page. Note that that is what a proper blog looks like. I'll try and be more, i don't know, regular.

So i mentioned that time of the month and any women who are considering keto should listen up here. Your period on keto SUCKS. Please note that I am not on birth control or any other type of hormones. So this is just how keto affects me with no interference. Some people get no period at all. Some get it the second they drop their birth control if they are ketoing.. Some people get a super light, no fuss period. For me, my periods are heavy, painful, and sort of sucky. I think my body is getting used to keto though. My first keto  period was very late and ten days long. TEN DAYS. This one came when it was supposed to and was only 7 days. Since i normally go 5-7 days that was fine. It was just the cramps and the heavy bleeding that sucked. So if you are going to do keto, be prepared!
