A week has passed since that memorable day.. which was.. about 7 days ago.. when I decided to start my life anew.. and.. and it hasn’t changed much; its just that my happiness and my joy are all gone. Gone are those days where I could binge on anything I liked, be it a fresh brioche, pack of caramel mousse or a toast with raspberry marmalade..all gone.
During this week I’ve eaten probably 1 metric ton less sugar than before.
Pros:
- Somehow higher energy levels (yay!), and definitely less of a roller-coaster ride during the day
- Somehow better sleep
- Significantly less plastic waste as I skip on all the tasty stuff in shiny packaging (/crying outloud/)
- I eat two times per day and not 5 because I just can’t handle eating fat more often. I’m not sure thats a Pro..
- If I’d have a dog, it’d think it were in heaven. I don’t like dogs and will never have one
Contras:
- I’m suffering each time I see other people eat candy
- I’m suffering each time I think about other people eating candy
- Caffeine apparently stopped working. Drank some thick espressos to no perceptible effect altogether. Earlier it was different: in rare cases it made me relaxed and clear-minded, but mostly it made me stupid, irritable and mildly diarrhoeic. Probably because my guts are now lined with all that
fat shithealthy MCT oils and organic bio produce - I’m pooping like a goat
- Eating out is painful, its like being a hipster but worse (“Oh how many carbs does this have, in grams per portion? Can I have this without sauce, please? Its just I am on the keto diet you see. Keto stands for ketogenic. Like all fat. All right I’ll take the burger, just replace fries with organic goat cheese and I’d have the crushed cumin with it. And don’t even talk to me about dessert!”)
