Day 2 – Wednesday 6.1.16

 

I woke up feeling good and full of energy after my bacon gorge last night and bounced myself to the gym for legs, triceps and abs. After spending quite a bit of time reading more on Keto yesterday and listening to some podcasts on the subject whilst training I was feeling more prepared. I decided to ditch the protein shake in the morning but had the same breakfast of two scrambled eggs with a bit of milk however this time I added in the remaining 3 mainland tasty cheese slices from the pack. At lunch I had two packets of Verkerks Dutch Salami and then I had 50g of roast almonds as an afternoon snack. I was feeling much better today with no hunger, the increased fat and decreased protein seemed to be working. The only drawback was I had a horrible taste in my mouth all day. After reading about “Keto breath” I have become very paranoid so am constantly chewing sugar free gum and am drinking copious amounts of water to cure my insatiable thirst.

 

When I finished work I had 15g of peanut butter then went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer. At dinner time I still wasn’t overly hungry however I knew I needed to eat. I made a small salad with spinach leaves and tomato which I topped with olive oil. I then chopped up 6 Angus beef, black pepper and red wine sausages from Countdown which I added to the bowl. Again the dinner was beautiful but it felt weird to be eating it. According the app I needed some more fat so I finished off the day by eating 100g of Philadelphia cream cheese.

 

End of day result:

 

Calories = 2701

Carbs = 31g (4%)

Fat = 229g (74%)

Protein 153g (22%)

 

I feel like I did much better today and I wasn’t hungry at all. I am not sure if it’s in my head or not but I also feel like I’m starting to see more definition in my stomach which is crazy after only one day. I reckon the protein shakes need to stay ditched if I am going to make this work. The only drawback of the diet today was I felt like an absolute dick running around the supermarket scanning barcodes when trying to decide what to have for dinner.
