Keto Week 2

OK, this week is going to be a pretty short update. Right up front: I didn't lose weight... not an ounce. I actually gained and had to work back down to where I ended up last week. This could be due to a couple different possibilities, the highest likelihood being either:

• I could have been exposed to gluten. One of the side effects when I am exposed is bloating that can take a week or longer to dissipate. I once experimented and gained 5 pounds and over an inch over night due to the bloat... amongst other side effects. Not fun.
• I could have eaten too much dairy. Both my allergist and my chiropractor suggested cutting out dairy- which I don't think I want to do at this point- to reduce inflammation and this week I went a little crazy on the dairy. Too many cheese shell tacos and trial recipes. Oops.

Since the weight came off almost as quick as it went on I'm not super concerned with the weight loss this week... plus, I feel pretty fantastic. I'm getting a ton done in the evenings and at work, am relying less on caffeine and generally just feel pretty good. My mood is improving as well (I've been dealing with depression for a few months now, as mentioned in the yearly wrap up) which is my favorite change for this week. Another plus was inches lost: 3.4! Woot! 

I'm trying to do a vlog every week along with the blog overviews. This week's is below.

​Until next time,
