I took a little bit of a break from the diet to allow myself to enjoy some social activities. I had originally only one meal, but after a while I realized that there were two upcoming "goodie" days at work that I wanted to participate in. Instead of being in keto flu limbo for a whole week, I opted to allow myself the week to eat and be merry.
It was great, and I am now working myself back into Ketosis again. Yesterday was the first day I started seeing more than a small trace of Ketones, and that day I felt ravenous. I haven't eaten in the last 21 hours and I'm barely hungry, but I am completely wound up and anxious like no other. I believe it is the fight or flight response I've read about, but it is particularly bad today.
I worked hard to keep from panicing while dealing with an exorbinant amount of work today, but it didn't help it happened today. I have a hard time even coming up with coherent sentences when I am asked about a topic that requires me to think. It will get better, eventually it will clear up, but man I felt stupid when I couldn't explain something simple on two different topics to my supervisor and coworkers. They know the whole diet thing, they've talked to me about the diet out of interest in my progress, so they know when I say I'm "getting back into it" that I'm not necessarily functioning at 100% capacity.
The clarity of the mind is such that I am able to focus and complete tasks that would be difficult for me to accomplish as easily before. My reaction time when I participate in gaming increases, and I do considerably better in many activities. I really enjoy that, and it is really something I want to continue, but it is extremely hard for me to give up food I enjoy. I realize just how much I eat for enjoyment as opposed to eating to live.
Anyways, back on track. Think I'll make some breakfast for dinner. Perhaps a staple of bacon and eggs.
