This is possibly the first time in my life I've turned down either. I've been doing keto, IF and WF for about a month. My weight hasn't been dropping like some people here but I did have to buy a smaller size jeans and I never would have been able to turn down pizza or ice cream a month ago.
My grocery store sent me valued customer coupons for some of my favorite purchases. Embarrassingly, this included a free family size ice cream and a frozen pizza.
I'm hosting a party tomorrow and had already cleaned my kitchen. I didn't want to dirty dishes and the counters again so I told myself I could go to the store and pick up something and that it would be OK to use those coupons. It's just one night. Well the neither the pizza or ice cream sounded appealing at all. It wasn't even an internal struggle to decide I didn't want either. Instead of going to the store, I dirtied the kitchen and cooked a nice keto dinner.
I used to be able to eat a family sized ice cream and frozen pizza in a day. And I would do this on a semi-regular basis. The amount of ice cream I used to put away now blows my mind. I've haven't had more than 10grams of sugar a day in over a month. Today I had 3 grams. I looked it up and the sugar in my favorite ice cream is 252 g! That's more sugar than I've had in a month!
I've dieted my entire adult life and every time, I would cave in and binge on sugar and empty carbs. Even if I'm not dropping incredible amounts of weight on keto/fasting if I can curb my sugar addiction this will be one the the greatest things in my life.
