Wednesday

I got sleep last night, aided by the ever-helpful Advil PM.  Not the way I'd like to get sleep, but I'm not in a position to be picky.  As a result, I'm feeling kind of floppy this morning.  It will pass, I suppose.

152.2 this morning.  I didn't eat all that well last night, but a bit better than Monday.  I'm giving some serious thought to getting back into strong ketosis for a variety of reasons, but to do that, I need to have a plan for what I intend to eat.  And I don't yet.  Here's yesterday:

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• tea with cream
• the usual supplements
• strawberries (a sandwich bag full - less than 1/2 pound)
• shrimp in garlic butter
• rice
• cheese
• macadamia nuts
• a couple of almond-flour crackers
• 8 malted milk eggs

That was it.  I'm thinking for true ketosis, I need to increase the fat and reduce the carbs to near zero.  To adjust yesterday toward that goal, I would have to:

• eliminate the fruit and rice and candy
• add fat - more macadamia nuts, olives, avocado, probably - or butter on meat
• fill in for bulk with non-starchy veg

So instead, it should look like

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• tea with cream
• the usual supplements
• macadamia nuts or olives (and for what it's worth, I have another bag of strawberries with me today)
• shrimp in garlic butter
• green beans or spinach or a salad or asparagus or sauteed mushrooms
• cheese
• more macadamia nuts or olives 
• almond flour crackers

Maybe that's how I arrive at a plan - critique the previous day's eating and make it more ketosis-promoting here, and use that information to guide me going forward.  2 cups of whole strawberries, for the record, are 22 grams of carbs.
