A slight bump up today in my weight, but I ain't mad about it. It's essentially only a few ounces. What's a few ounces among friends? I ate today.
As of 8:00 AM this morning, my 120-hour fast was over. I am actually pleasantly surprised that I did not gain more, especially with what has been happening to me the past couple of weeks. This leads me further down the path of thinking the corned beef -- or perhaps drinking the broth in which it was cooked -- knocked me out of ketosis. I wish I had a meter to check blood ketones. That would help me out a lot.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 355.6 lbs ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
I did not adhere to the olives and pickles only diet. That was a bit ridiculous. But I was very strict about carb-counting and restriction. It worked out well for me, apparently. I gained only a few ounces, but I'm sure those will be gone soon through elimination.
So what did I eat?
I started with a whole can of large, pitted black olives. About 44 olives in the whole can. I like the Pearls brand in the yellow can. I have tried others. I don't like them as much for some reasons. Now, you'd think that an olive is an olive, but apparently not.
To that, I added eight slices of Havarti cheese and four hard-boiled eggs. I also had one large dill pickle all sliced up. The pickle was really good when I ate a slice of pickle with about a quarter slice of cheese. The olives were delicious all on their own.
I washed everything down with some bullet proof coffee to which I added some collagen protein. All-in-all, I think I ate a heck of a lot of food. It was all well within my allotment, though.
Then later in the night -- I'd say it was around 11:30 PM -- I was fixing some keto snacks for the hubby. I made a chicken salad with some cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and blackberries and pecans among other ingredients. It was interesting. Then I rolled the chicken salad in "jicama tortillas." These were large, round, thin slices of jicama. It was pretty tasty! I had 5 of these roll-ups as did my husband. I still had some coffee from earlier in the day (I couldn't finish it), so I drank that as well.
So, I think I ate a heck of a lot of food, but I didn't gain very much weight at all. It wasn't at all like what happened to me during the dreaded "Corned Beef Incident." I'm hopeful that I will not gain too much during these 2 days while I am eating. I really hope to get back on track and see 349 lbs on the scale again very soon. This has been a two-week setback so far, and until I gt back down to 349 lbs, I'm not considering it officially over.
Never again shall I indulge in corned beef unless I'm prepared to accept the consequences graph:
