Since it isn't easy for me to keep being motivated, I thought that if I put myself out there and post what I eat in public, I have to answer for what I eat which would motivate me further in sticking to the diet. Also it is a good journal for myself to how I am going with the diet and to see if I have any failures etc and pin point them.
Day one of the Ketogenic Diet. It isn't a very easy diet to follow actually. I have to make sure I eat every 3 hours with an allowance of no more than 3 and a half hours. Each meal/snack has to have protein in it and there should be about 90g of protein taken throughout the day. The breakdown of the protein is usually 20g for breakfast, 10g for snack, 20g for lunch, 10 g snack and 30g dinner. Of course I'm pretty sure that can be swapped around a little. Well I actually hope it can be swapped around, I never asked so I just did it anyway hoping that if I get at least approx. 90g of protein in my body a day it'll all be good.
Breakfast - Chocolate shake thingy I got from them, it obviously is easier to get 20g of protein in the form of a shake for breakfast than it is to cook so early in the morning especially if I'm at work.
Lunch - Chicken ceasar salad (less salad and less chicken of course) with a tiny bowl of garlic fried asian veg just to get some difference into the meal.
Snack - 1/4 cup of mixed almonds and walnuts
Snack - Soy Keto Bar (Hazelnut crunch flavour - actually damn good!)
Dinner - Half a scotch fillet steak (from Vic Markets) with some broccoli, some random form of mushroom and cauliflower. One mandarin
Oh and of course I have to have my water which I managed to drink approx. 2250 ml.
Coffee I had a mug of coffee and a few sips of espresso when I went for coffee training.
Oh and I have to have my 5 cups of veg a day (which I did) and the 2 tsp. of metaoil (something that would promote my metabolism, I'll peek at the bottle later to see what oil it actually is. I think it is some form of fish oil.)
I'm feeling alright at the moment but as with any diet there will be slight side effects in the next few days. I have to admit it is very hard trying to eat every 3 hours especially at work. It doesn't look good but since it is my health and technically I am on doctor's orders I can get away with it?? maybe??
Nothing really interesting happened today other than that. Just a regular boring day.
