Awesome, Jim! Those carbs can sneak in, and they do make you feel less than great! Continued success ~ Sincerely, Katie

  Subject: Update on my world


  So I’m on day 14 of a zero carb, limited protein experiment.   About 100g per day of protein, zero carbs.  I get plenty of salt during the day for energy and take a magnesium/potassium supplement at night.

  I’m naturally at about 152 pounds, but had climbed to about 170 and was getting tired of the extra weight.  I’d allowed significant dairy and coffee to creep back in and was feeling like crap.

  These two weeks have been interesting.  When I get tired, as is usually the case when you start a low carb diet, I swallow a spoonful of coconut oil and take a pinch or two of salt.  That fixes it pretty quickly.  The foggy thinking has all but cleared and I think I’ve just about made it through the transition period that Schwatka wrote about.

  I have no idea what my weight is.  I’d guess 162?  My clothes fit great and I’m feeling great.  

  This is fun.

  Jim
