@honeebuns Is that really what I was like, a bulldozer?! *thinks back* Yea, I probably was! 🫢🤭 Sorry! I think keto is a wonderful tool, and was probably really necessary for me in the beginning to break my sugar addiction. I blame the bulldozer effect on the withdrawals. 🤣 I had to learn to see sugar as my enemy, as it had been my backstabbing bestfriend for so long. 🙃 l'm still convinced that it had completely broken my metabolism while eating entire packs of oreos in 1 sitting. I lost 42 lbs in the first 6 weeks. I know that wasn't fat. It was fluid. My entire body was inflammed! I STILL say, most extremely overweight people (esp sugar addicts) would probably do better starting out with LC/keto and some form of fasting in the beginning. I could hardly get out of bed, let alone exercise. Now, I need LOTS of protein to where I needed very little before. So, yea, like you say "Things change." We have to be open minded and adapt along our journeys. I still mostly refrain from sugar, and try to time my carbs. I have raised them gradually over time, and started back by adding in low glycemic index carbs first. Last week, they were higher than any time they have been since June. I'm talking like 8x's more, but they were well timed. I lost more weight on the scale during that period than I have in a while.

ZWP… you are exactly right. It wasn’t the sugar or carbohydrates just the volume and a what the source was in your diet. Everyone on FS has had a learning curve and we all adjust and adapt over time.

@honeebuns I know I'm still a sugar addict, and probably (like a drug addict) will always be. So, I still try to be very mindful. I've never been able to have "just one". That "just one" has always just gotten me started or just p!ssed me off...lol. For now, there are still certain things I'd just prefer to refrain from, like oreos. 🤣 Who knows?! Maybe that will change over time also.

As for now, it is a privilege to be able to indulge in rice without it sending me barreling to the nearest store for a box of chocolates. I'm gonna just take it 1 step at a time...lol.

My journey has just barely begun. I always have a tendency to look at certain people's body parts & tucked it away in my mind to focus on while training that body part. (Is that weird??) Today, I saw the most perfect body (to me) online. I took a screenshot & that will be what I work towards. "Shoot for the moon, and even if you fail you'll land amongst the stars", right??
