Healthy Keto? Vs My Laziness | The Biggest Food That Gives a Difference





With regards to ketosis (running the body using ketones), I would say I am not there yet.


But I just wanted to highlight that with my on and off, healthy Keto diet, I noticed an interesting thing happened with my laziness/ procrastination.


And those who in pride, He is able to humble.

After all, the real idea of why I am doing this diet is I wanted to stop being lazy and I wanted to be strong mentally and emotionally. To ultimately see if I will see progress in my career and finance.


Let's Start off with a food comparison..


Since I don't really have ample knowledge about keto here are the meals that I start off with.

Keto Meal 1

    Egg, salt, and butter. 

    Two/three spoons of rice and meat and veggies

    Philippines cocoa powder with powdered milk and extra virgin coconut oil

    Meat and veggies again for dinner

    I still have some supplements, COD Liver oil, and non-fortified nutritional yeast


As you noticed, I still have small amount of carbs in my diet and hidden sugar in powdered milk.


Result


I still have a hard time staying away from carbs because I still feel hungry.


With productivity, I still sit on the couch and wait for the time to pass by.


Yes, I am still LAZY and HUNGRY with small amount of rice and hidden sugar.

..........

since I do not see much productivity, I tweak my keto diet a little bit.


    Keto Meal 2

    Lots of cabbage, beef meat, and soup

    Egg, butter, and salt

    Philippine cocoa powder and extra virgin coconut oil

    I skipped Cod Liver oil and nutritional yeast today just to see if there is any difference.


Result

I find that my productivity is INCREASED when I prioritize eating a lot of fibrous vegetables. Like bokchoy, cabbage, kamote tops, and more.

And I add a decent amount of meat just so I don't get hungry as often.

The biggest food that gives a difference are fibrous veggies. ( I wanted to highlight that)


setback...

But these food choices still gets my body to eat more.


I am still craving food so I save a small portion and eat it about an hour after lunch.


I also save egg and butter for a snack.


This second post this valentines day is proof that my productivity has increased. Yey!


I did the post while doing some chores. I am a bit irritated but I still manage to finish the day in a good mood( no anxiety).


Supplements wise, since I skip those two today(nutritional yeast and cod liver oil), I am really hoping that I don't need them for a long period of time, because they are money draining especially that I don't have work as of the moment.


How My Brain Function in Keto

I want to add too that I can think clearly and can speak my thoughts easily.


I do not talk about this a lot in the post, but I stutter and cannot complete my sentence most of the time.


I need to stop and try to look for words to say things, or I bite my tongue trying to get the words out fast.


Basically, I am not the best communicator.


How ironic, that my job experiences does a lot of talking to other people, and selling.


Now, I am seeing a link why, I don't excel on those work. 


It's no surprise, my body, especially my brain is not in its full capacity.


Dr Berg Video about Insulin Resistance in the Brain

I am so thankful to see videos of Dr Berg from the social media world.


This just give me a push to try a healthy keto diet, that is funny, because I am a critic of keto before.


With Dr Bergs videos, I learned a numerous amount information of how insulin can block nutrients for the brain cells.

Which in turn making the brain cells hungry, causing me to be forgetful, I can't even finish a sentence or I can't find the right words to what I intend to say.


This has influence a lot of my productivity at work and even with my relationship with other people.


No matter how I eat healthy, my cells cannot take in vitamins because I have problem with insulin.


So I am definitely looking forward to where this healthy keto take me to.


And I am hoping, that somehow, I can find a way to get up and fix my career and finances together.


That is it for now, thanks for reading till end.
