My Keto Journey

Yesterday I started back the Keto diet which is basically restricting your carbs intake to less than 20gms a day.
Well, the goals of the diet is Weight loss as I am around 10 kg overweight! 
I wanted to chronicle my meals and this would sure help me stay on track..

So here it is 

Monday, 30th Oct 17

Breakfast was two 'Over -Easy' eggs( I got to know this way of making eggs is called 'Over-Easy' yesterday only, that was exciting :D) 



Lunch - Daal and curd ( That, I later came to know, was a mistake! Dals are not Ket friendly and should be avoided while on a Ketogenic diet!

Snack - Felt super hungry around evening so microwave an egg in a cup. Super easy.

Dinner - 2 sausages and veggies

31st Oct, Tuesday(Halloween and Salary day)

Well, everyone looks forward to the 'Your account has been credited message' at the end of the month and I used to celebrate the day with a mini feast of sorts, ordering my favorite snack 'Momos'! But today , I am celebrating the day with Mutton curry instead! So that's what for Dinner. 

Breakfast : I had 2 scrambled eggs with mushrooms and beans on the side.
Lunch : Boiled Red Cabbage and green beans sauteed in butter and one tiny miny cocktail sausage.
Dinner - Mutton curry with salad

 1st Nov,17

 Breakfast -2 eggs Over easy with sauteed veggies





Lunch - Leftover Mutton curry from the previous night and some raita.




Dinner - Chicken salami tossed in butter , two cocktail sausages along with boiled cauliflower all topped with generous amount of cream cheese.I love this diet. Yumm! First time that i had cream cheese at home.

I had to gulp down some psyllium husk (Isabgol) to get things moving, yeah a big side effect of protein based diets.

2nd November

Breakfast - Leftover tossed chicken with cauliflower with fresh helpings of cream cheese. 

Lunch - I had a yummy cream of cauliflower soup for lunch!


Snack -  few almonds!

Dinner -  I was feeling tired to make anything, so i nuked a cracked egg in a small cup and had only that for dinner.

3rd November - Fridayy!
Wokeup with a foggy brain and stretchy ankles. Had a big mug of salt water with Apple cider vinegar.
Breakfast was a hasty , uninspired egg omelet with a sausage.

Snack - Fried some almonds in coconut oil and yumm!




5th November -  It is sunday afternoon and the weighin this morning revealed that i have loast two kgs since Monday, that is great considering all the yummy stuff i have been eating. i love this diet. Oh..not DIET! i have learned from several internet forums that Keto is not a diet but a "Way of eating" commonly known as woe. Baby D is sleeping and i had a bowl of leftover baigan ka bharta and that is all. I do not feel hungry anymore. And yes, my Ketostix arrived and i tested myself and the result was very purple.
Watching downtown Abbey season 1 on Amazon Prime. I wish i had ordered the Amazon firestick earlier.  It has made our non smart TV a smart one. Wish there was a drive like that for us humans. Ahh this moment, it is so peaceful. Lunch over, laundry hung out to dry, baby sleeping and i am watching a brit drama. This Sunday afternoon cant get better. Then there are the looming Monday blues, waiting to spread their ugly fangs.           

. 

Update 28th Jan 2018 - Well,  the weighing scale is usually a big fat liar. I have stopped tracking my weight , well do weigh in weekly,  but not as madly as i was doing in the beginning of my keto journey.  This morning i weighed 52.3 kgs. So i have lost around 6kgs since the first week of November.  I plan to take a braek from keto after the wedding of my BIL and then jump right back in once we settle down in Hyderabad.  Yes.  We are moving,  second time in 2 years. And soo happy to leave this god forsaken city called Gurgaon.

Who said Black??

The Lavie Handbag Commercial feat Kareena made me toss on my seat saying 'Yeah that’s a real Gal'. After bugging the salesman for hours for Black hang bag, she finally picks up an Orange one with a perfect finish line...'Who said Black??' Hats off to the advertising team of Lavie , they have surely hit the bull's eye. I mean..that's how we are!!! And the sooner one makes peace with the fact that a woman has a million faces ..the better. I mean..would you like to date a gal who knows what she wants..does what she decides to do for the day..has sorted priority list..then u are definitely gay..Go Marry a MAN! Next time someone tries to make me feel horrible for not being sorted out..tells me I am too moody..I should change myself..blah blah and all that  bullshit…(I would like to say Fuck off but that’s not how things work ryt??) I will let him watch this commercial.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLkaOUmtSyE   Atleast I don't spend that muc...

Kahne mein kya jaata hai

That moment when one of the prospective grooms you talked to while finalising on 'The One' gets engaged and sends you an invitation. You are curious to know how the 'bride to be' looks and it gives you immense relief to ascertain that you are better looking than her. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Writing is a very unique art. It lets your mind wander but in the right direction. It places you in oblivion but yet dawns upon you certain revelations. It locks you from the world but only to make you discover newer ones. Writing puts me at a different level of perception altogether. Its not about seeing your words in print but its about echoing your thoughts to the world. You can actually make a difference with your words! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lack of confidence is taking a toll on life, its just that I am realizing it now. Never was competing with people about wo...

The Picture

Sifting through his almirah, Searching for a book He , drew out an old volume Off the rack, Something fell down, He turned , It was a picture of hers.. He has taken it, Silently, capturing her unaware While she was gulping down A 'Paani ka bataasha' He had waited for the right moment, Waited for her to open her mouth, Put the whole thing inside, Chew it softly, And squeeze her eyes 'Click'   'Waut u doin'?? She had asked with her mouth full.. I hate you for this, she squirmed Faking anger, she looked so silly He had decided he will get it printed.. With the silly face and disheveled   hair In the pale old picture She still looked beautiful..
