Yesterday I was hard core on the diet. Rigorous, I believe I call it. I kept my food intake under 16oz of protein, low fat, low carb. I drank plenty of water and walked for about an hour. My effort was rewarded through the loss of two pounds, and I'm down to 293.8.
I think my problems have been caused by finally figuring out how to snack and cheat while staying in ketosis. For the first four months, I stayed pure and clean for fear of losing my magical appetite suppressant. In July and August, I stress tested the diet, learning that cans of almonds, buckets of hot wings, and giant steaks all keep me in ketosis. Alas, Ketosis only works if I'm also at a calorie deficit. Couple this binging (in relative terms) with the fact that my daily calorie needs are a lot lower than when I was moving four bills around means that I've got to step up.
It's actually kind of strange, going back to eating a 2oz breakfast, and two glasses of water with it. And weighing my food again. I quickly found myself physically full when I ate my meals, yet my mind is constantly thinking about and wanting food. As long as I stay busy, I usually stay pretty on the level. Luckily I'm taking 18 credits and I have a few cases this fall to occupy my time.
