So, I'm Belgian and as we've invented the so-called 'French' fries, they're kind of our national food. Any of our national dishes are paired with fries anyway. I've had the week from hell: got the flu, paired with my first shark week on keto and craved ALL OF THE CARBS. But instead of caving I upped my fat intake till I was satiated and didn't mind the calories for a little while.
Today was my biweekly weigh-in and I've lost 11 pounds in four weeks, all fat. No water loss. No muscle loss. I know it might not sound like a lot compared to other people here, but I was really pleased.
As I was contemplating my results I sat on a bench in the middle of town where a fancy friterie by a renowned chef had just opened. Three people came sitting next to me, eating very fancy fries next to me (12 pm mind you, wtf?) and instead of craving them, they smelled off-putting. I didn't care for them at all. I wasn't envious or miserable. And that was the biggest reward to have been given. So, thank you, fellow keto friends, for your supportive comments when I didn't feel like I could do it earlier this week. Keeping calm and ketoing on has made all the difference.
