Keto Experiment
I'm now on week two of my experiment in ketogenic dieting. Since it's all the rage, I reckoned I should at least give it a try. (BTW, "all the rage" means "popular amongst the people I follow online." I know maybe two people in my physical neighbourhood who even know what it is.) First week went smoothly - no keto flu, no keto breath (thank god), no stomach problems. I'm not sure if or to what extent I actually got into ketogenesis, but I felt pretty good. On Sunday I had my normal cheat day, loading up on carbs, and felt OK but sleepy. Monday turned out to be another cheat day because the in-laws came round with simit and kazandibi, and it would have been rude to refuse. Felt lousy as a result. Back on the keto waggon now. I'll see how it goes - I'm not sure how much my feelings of energy and good humour last week were due to the diet, how much to placebo effect, and how much to doing more t'ai chi than normal.
