Did you ever wonder why most of the dishes' photos look like some pig feed? At least mine does unless I use the "food item" filter on my phone :-)
That center weird looking blob of yellow is the egg! Maybe I overcooked it in the microwave because it is kind of yellow-gray. Supposed to be yummy, but I hate spinach and the egg was like rubber, even the sashimi was not able to save it! On the positive side, it is all super healthy and all, balanced almost to perfection: 2.34 of Net Carbs, 27.61 Fat, 17.15 Protein.
Anyway, I am following my diet and shed off almost 2 lbs, mostly water.

Losing 6.3 kg a Week
03 February 2021
Day 2.
Today I decided to continue 6/18 intermittent fasting, although I did not plan it. Last night I felt the familiar headache that usually indicates that my body switching into ketosis.
For those that practice Keto for a long time, it is pretty common to be able to pick that exact moment when our internal power plant finally gives up on carbs as fuel and picks up on fat.
For me, it is always few hours of "did I get flu or something?" symptoms. Every time it happens I am truly amazed at how our body works. Our autonomic nervous system (ANS) can communicate with our concsiousness, we just need to learn how to read these signals.
The "flu" symptoms were gone after my evening meditation and I was able to sleep like a baby.
I remember, when I first started Keto, I used to suffer from severe insomnia. For a long time is was not unusual for me to wake up at 2 am and lay wide awake in a dark.
It was extremely uncomfortable and finally was giving up and moving to the spare bedroom to read till about 5 am. After that, I was usually able to sleep for another hour.
My first week of ketosis cured it somewhat magically. On the third or fourth day, I slept through the night and I do since then.
In those times when I am back on carbs, insomnia comes back in 2-3 months, and that is the time for me to go back on keto or "borderline low carb diet".

Here is the jump start from 150 to 148 lbs! Feels nice, but it just indicates how much water the body stores.
Every time I switch to Keto, I lose up to 4 pounds in the first 2-3 days. All it means is that I am in ketosis and the glycogen supply in the muscles was used up.
So when I reach my goal weight and start to eat carbs again, those 4 pounds will be back in a day or two, so they are not relevant for the weight loss.
Some would say that recording weight every day is an obsession, but not for me. I have to record my blood pressure daily anyway, so to step on the scales at the same time is no biggie.
Nowadays I started to record the blood oxygenation as well (yes, because of the Covid and all), its always high up to 100% unless my old Samsung Note is a shameless liar. Better not.
** went to Walmart yesterday and got green avocados for 58 cents each. They are rock hard, but the price is good. I learned from the Internet how to store them to ripe. It happened that I have very suitable brown paper bags! Nice!
Prob. will get some more, while the deal lasts. By the way, rock hard avocados can be cubed and used as a substitution for potatoes in some salads.

Intermittent fasting may be a bit hard to keep, but on those days I usually plan a busy schedule and something interesting to do.
My future dinner: protein, greens, and healthy oils:
Calorie Breakdown:
Carbohydrate (8%)
Fat (67%)
Protein (25%)
That would include a dessert too!

After a long period of relaxed eating, a little exercise, and not much self-discipline, I am back to my very much loved FatSecret for help. :-)
Keeping a food diary definitely keeps a "calorie watch", but does not help with exercise habits. I know that I can switch to the "accelerated wellness" mode, but it requires self-restriction and self-discipline which I always have had in a low supply.
So I decided to start with the menu planning, adding a bit of meditation and Toshiki Fukutsudzi exercise I am going to create my own "super-comfort" wellness system of the things I love.
