Hero image for First week

Today I'm completing 1 week of this experiment. What's going on, what are the perceived effects and what I'm expecting for the next one?

First, some very subjective things:

  • Cravings down ↓. I can look at any food and that doesn't mean anything.

  • Dreams up ↑. I'm dreaming more and remembering more the dreams. And no, it's not about food.

  • I'm feeling lighter. I'm not measuring weight, but I feel lighter.

  • My hair is thicker. And I think a bit blacker. I can't explain it. But I believe it is 😄

Now, some more objective things:

  • Bloat is gone. I ate a lot during the holidays, and I'm ok with that. Happiness kilos, as some say.

  • My gumns stopped bleeding when I brush my teeth. This started when I was in Brazil, I'm assuming too much sugar and other things.

  • Sleep is still messy. I'm still waking up at around 3:30 am, and taking some time to go back to sleep.

  • Weights are heavier at the gym. Physical activity in general is a bit harder. When I did keto 8 years ago, it took 1.5 weeks to adapt and start to burn fats and feel energy levels like before and more. I believe it's the same, so at some point next week it should normalize.

  • I'm more focused. It's easy to get into focus mode and be productive in less time.

  • I'm feeling thirsty. And I admit I'm not drinking enough water. Will work on that on the second week.

For now, that's it.
