Doctor Lies

-
I awoke at 4am this morning, as per usual. Did I mention it's a Saturday? Just once I would love for my body to distinguish a weekend from a weekday. (Ha! like that's going to happen, right?)

I did what I usually do...on a day I don't have to go to work....I hopped on Instagram.
I've been following a (soon to be) doctor named Billy Mitchell. Besides interesting pictures or phrases, he posts podcasts (or rather, links to his podcasts) that I have found very interesting.

This particular podcast on 'Lies Your Doctor Tells You' posted yesterday. And I being up so early, listened to it this morning. Dr Mitchell spoke with Dr. Ken Berry about nutrition and how it affects the brain and body. I found Dr. Berry charming with his southern accent and no bullshit answers. Not to mention he was knowledgeable, his reasoning sound, and he encourages everyone to question their doctor (within reason).

Their discussion went hand in hand with what I have learned through my own internet sleuthing about diet, fat, nutrition and health.

This is just one more example that enforces my decision two weeks ago to go Keto.

If you have an hour to spare, or 15 minutes a couple (four) times, give this podcast a listen. You might be glad you did.

I am continually amazed at how little I eat compared to how sated I am after I eat. Before Keto, I may not have eaten much throughout the day with approximately the same number of calories, but it was the wrong food(s). I wouldn't eat much, then have one big, carb-y meal somewhere late afternoon or early evening. Which more than made up for the lack of eating during the day. And as you know, carbs are not your friend. Carbs are acquaintances. Not friends. Something that has taken me discovering Keto to realize. Boy am I glad I did! Progress so far has been slow on the weight loss front. Still. Some more. And when I say slow, I mean it's still happening, just not super-duper-fast and unrealistic like I want. LOL But my energy level, which was high before Keto, is now actually better. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me 'sum up.... I've always had a high energy level. Fat, but energetic. When my kids were younger, I was told, 'Mom, we don't wa...

Electrolyte Drop- Bet I won't Do That Again!

-
Last weekend I got over-exerted. I was doing fine, until I wasn't. I felt my electrolytes dropping...but I wasn't done doing the work I had to do so I took a mini-break and kept on. Which meant I had to take another mini-break a little while later. And another one where I had to sit or I would fall over. A couple three years ago I ran a 10k. I forgot to eat breakfast that morning, and we drove 4 hours to the race. By the time we got half-way through the race, I sat down and couldn't go on. I ended up being picked up and driven back to start and forced to sit in an a/c vehicle while they shoved dorito's and pizza at me. Which, if anyone knows me, when I am overheated, etc., I don't want to eat. This was just like that. And I felt it coming on. And I hate to admit that. But it was my own dumbass fault. I did eat breakfast. I had the ultimate Keto smoothie. But that wasn't enough. I forgot to take into account the exercise depleting me and needing n...

I found a Keto ice cream recipe...which I switched up a bit...but it's fabulous. I mean, I love ice cream. Really, I do. Have I told you about the time I was six months old? Well, let me tell you- I was six months old, and my parents gave me a small vanilla ice cream cone. I didn't drop a drop. End of story. heh. Yeah, my love of ice cream goes way back....at least fif...I mean several years. Give me a day or two and I will have a video to go with this post!
