float-container' id='post-body-8087109279297036929'> <br /> <br /> Here is my simple yet focused step by step plan of action I implemented to get started on this way of eating. Which in turn brought about huge changes in my health. The most significant being the reversal of <a href="https://blog.virtahealth.com/reversing-diabetes-101-truth-about-carbs-and-blood-sugar/" target="_blank">Type 2 Diabetes</a>. With weight loss, of course, being the most visual change. Oh, and please know that there have been big challenges with completely changing my lifestyle but doing a low carb diet has not only been one of the best decisions I have ever made but a low carb diet has also been the easiest way I have found to lose weight. Also, I know that there are many products out there that are marketed for doing a low carb/keto diet such as ketone blood meters, ketone breath monitors, urine strips, exogenous ketone shakes, and drinks. Please know that for much of my weight loss I haven’t used most of those products. But on occasion I did use a <a href="https://amzn.to/2SHl9OW" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blood ketone meter</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUB7BUV/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=janetlrosenbe-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01MUB7BUV&linkId=bb5b0c8f615b8a9cfff445e28699f3a9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">urine strips</a>. I never felt that they were essential tools for me to lose weight. However, staying at or below 20 carbs a day was and always has been. And I still monitor my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G3EJ1K/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=janetlrosenbe-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B002G3EJ1K&linkId=9cdb59a63884ee176552ee78bfce1709" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">glucose</a> levels.<br /> <br /> Here it goes. Step by step, 1 through 7 of how I lost the first 76 lbs in almost 7 months on a low carb/keto diet. After 7 months I went on to do a more "unstructured" low carb/keto diet. Following no structured plan. Just a continued restricted diet of 20 carbs a day. I went on to lose another 111 lbs over the next several years. Reevaluating and tweaking my low carb plan as needed. As of today, I have lost a total of 187 lbs.<br /> <br /> <ol> <li>The first step, which was the most important beginning for me was that I bought a book and read it cover to cover so I understood everything I could about a low carb diet. I had a very clear understanding of what I could eat and what the process would be. Doing this gave me a solid foundation that would follow me through the next 14 years of living a low carb lifestyle. The book I read, that started it all for me was <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Atkins-Diet-Revolution-Revised/dp/B0041HJJ4Q/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1550652630&sr=8-8&keywords=dr+atkins+new+diet+revolution+book#customerReviews" target="_blank">Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution</a>. This was in the mid-2000's. I will list more current resources for you below. 20 net carbs a day. No other macros were counted. That was it. Total carbs - fiber = Net carbs. Back then Atkins was much stricter. No fresh cheeses, nuts, shakes, powders, diet drinks, Atkins candy, Atkins frozen meals, or highly processed low carbs foods such as tortillas and low carb breads. Induction was strict but highly effective. </li> <li>Visit to my doctor. This was important for a couple of reasons. I wanted a doctor that would support my decision. I had numerous and serious health issues. I understood that lowering my carbs to only 20 a day could and probably would affect the amount of medication I was taking for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Continual medical monitoring is important. Especially if you are taking prescription medications.</li> <li>I then put together a menu for the first week of all of my meals and then put together a shopping list. </li> <li>Bye bye junk and carbs. I rid my fridge and pantry of the carby junk that wasn't on my new diet plan. I gave food to friends and family. And unopened bags and boxes went to the local food pantry. </li> <li>Grocery Shopping. With my list in hand, I bought only what I needed to get me through my menu for the first week. Back then who had ever heard of "grass fed" this and "grass finished" that? I bought what I could afford. And none of it was organic. None of it was grass-fed meats. Getting off of the SAD (Standard American Diet) was exactly the big change I needed. Even if the low carb foods I was eating wasn't entirely "clean and organic eating". </li> <li>Meal Prep-I meal prepped what I could ahead of time. Fried ground beef, cut up veggies for salads, fried bacon, sliced and grated cheese, hard-boiled eggs, ect.</li> <li>Now I was ready to get started. I had read the book, went to my doctor, wrote up a menu, cleaned out my pantry replacing it with "allowable" foods on my new meal plan, filled my fridge with the veggies (carbs) that I could eat, allowable meats in my freezer, butter ready to go, then took a deep breath and just got started! </li> </ol> <div> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">ROAD TO SUCCESS</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Here are a few daily behaviors that have given me big weight loss results</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> *Identify my pitfalls and weaknesses- example, if you find that your favorite fast food joint is an issue for you then don't drive by it. Create a different route for your drive to and from work.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> *Sleep-if I do not get enough sleep I have found time and time again that weight loss happens far too slowly. Even if I am eating 20 carbs a day.<br /> *Eating out-If you have a certain restaurant where there is a particular carby food you love then don't eat there. Or call in your order, minus the hot salty tortilla chips and pick up your food for take out so that you are not tempted. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> *Journaling-Keeping track and writing down my weight, meals, and carbs eaten on a daily basis really helps to keep me rooted in the present and focused on my goals. Cronometer app is one that I often use because it has an accurate nutritional database. If I want to write it down I use a<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J2PYNCS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=janetlrosenbe-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07J2PYNCS&linkId=a3b1ff88064ea23ef20b8deffd0f89ed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Happy Planner</a> by MAMBI.<br /> *Learn how to read nutritional labels. You'll soon find out that the ingredient list is full of additive and chemicals that you don't want to eat. And often times the carbohydrate count doesn't seem to line up with the list of ingredients. I will often see the carb count as 0 yet in the ingredient list there will be some kind of sugar. Also, get familiar with all of the different names of sugar.<br /> <a href="https://blog.virtahealth.com/names-for-sugar/" target="_blank">Secret Sugars</a><br /> <a href="https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/sugar" target="_blank">The Complete Guide to Sugar</a></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> *Using relaxation apps and breathing exercises to keep my stress levels under control. -See resources<br /> below- </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> *KISS-Keep It Super Simple - The times when I keep my meals and menus really basic and simple, using a minimal amount of low carb ingredients, with real whole foods, then that is when I have the best weight loss results.<br /> <br /></div> <ol> </ol> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">LOW CARB VEGGIES/FRUIT I EAT</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> Vegetables are where I get the majority of my carbs on a daily basis.

And also, things that I have had to figure out on my own.<br /> <ul> <li>The <a href="https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/flu-side-effects" target="_blank">Keto Flu</a> is real. When I first started a very low carb diet 14 years ago it was called, "Atkins Flu". Luckily there are things that you can do to lighten the effects of the Keto Flu. Although I have tried many different things over the years to keep my electrolytes up, I find the one thing that works the best is getting in plenty of sodium. Here is a great article about <a href="https://blog.virtahealth.com/sodium-potassium-magnesium-ketogenic-diet/" target="_blank">sodium, potassium and magnesium</a>. I also drink <a href="https://youtu.be/ob2jqJ3Ru88" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sole Water</a>. Without the added salt I feel tired and will get occasional leg cramps. The salt I use is <a href="https://amzn.to/2IT32pt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Redmond Real Salt</a>. Dr. Ken Berry has a great <a href="https://youtu.be/IM-wVnUFEFo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">video</a> about salt. And explains perfectly for me, why I use the salt that I do. A keto/low carb diet by nature is a very anti-inflammatory diet that is a natural diuretic. Basically, you pee a lot when doing a very low carb diet. </li> <li>Self Sabotage. Over the years I have come to realize that I am my own worst enemy. I am my biggest obstacle. And have continued to be. My weight loss and health journey to wellness haven't been linear. Never a straight line. More like being on a roller coaster ride. I wish that I could give you one solid piece of advice that would make it all a bit easier or clearer, but I have found that no matter how motivated, excited, happy, prepared, or well I am feeling, there have been times when I get off plan with a well-intentioned "cheat day" that ends up getting me terribly off track. Which has in turn made losing weight a longer process than what it should have been. So, don't listen to the voices that tell you, "One cheat meal doesn't matter", "Monday you'll get back on plan", "You've done so well, you deserve a cheat day". It is my experience that nothing, not one thing good comes from a cheat meal or a cheat day. The majority of times they take you further away from your ultimate goals. However, there are a few things that do help to keep me focused and on track. Jotting down menus, journaling my meals, tracking daily carb intake, eating at home and keeping myself accountable with weighing in every morning. </li> <li>Calorie and fat intake actually do matter. At first, for quite some time the weight seemed fairly easy to get off as long as I ate no more than 20 net carbs a day. Then for the longest time, and I mean a long time I stalled. No weight loss no matter how meticulously I tracked carbs. So, I had to reevaluate what I was eating. Which is why keeping a food journal helps. I soon discovered that I was probably eating too much fat. Once I lowered my fat intake a bit and upped my daily <a href="https://blog.virtahealth.com/how-much-protein-on-keto/" target="_blank">protein</a> the weight started coming off again. You may hear a lot of, "Eat lots of fat", "Don't worry about calories". For a while, that may be true. Have you stalled after enjoying an initial amount of weight lost? You may want to take a look at your fat and calorie intake. There is, however, for me, one exception to this rule. If I have had a period where I have gotten off of plan, "fallen off of the low carb wagon", I have found the easiest way to get back on track and get the carb monster cravings under control is to get back on plan with 20 carbs a day then do what I call "fat load" for a few days. For the first few days I will eat extra fat to keep me feeling full. Whenever I get a craving for high carb foods I will use bacon and cheese as quick finger type foods. It takes me just a handful of days for my appetite to disappear and for my body to no longer cravy carby sugary foods. Once that happens then I pull back on the fats and monitor my calories and fats more closely. For me, the real trick to losing weight is to keep from being hungry all of the time. Doing a low carb/keto diet and getting myself into ketosis and becoming fat adapted works wonders for that. </li> <li>As much as I love certain foods, even though they are low in carbs, these foods will stall me if I eat them too often. What is too often and how much is too much? Everyone seems to be different. It'll take a bit of trial and error to get it figured out if you are experiencing a stall. A true stall is considered no weight loss for several weeks. Here are the items that stall me. <b>Dairy, Tomatoes, Onions, Nuts, All foods marketed as keto/low carb that are highly processed.</b> Such as<b> <i>wraps, flat bread, tortilla's, keto/low carb sweets, candy, shakes, ice cream, flavored syrups and sweeteners</i> </b>for<b> <i>Coffee</i> and<i> Tea</i></b>.</li> </ul> <div> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">RESOURCES</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> I've listed several resources that I have found useful.

My name is Janet and I've lost 167 lbs and still counting. After having cancer twice and hitting an all-time high of 400 lbs, I became so fed up and worried about my declining health that I went on a low carb/keto diet. This blog is a way of sharing the details of what I had to do and what I ate to turn my life around. Go to my "<a href="https://www.lowcarberista.com/p/about-me.html">About Me</a>" page to read my whole story. </p> <style> .custom-profile { text-align: center; } .custom-profile img { max-width: 50%;
