Ugh, I had to force myself to eat a little 140-kilocalorie snack at around 2:30pm and another 180-kilocalorie snack at around 8:00pm. The pair came out to a total of 28 grams of protein and 10 grams of carbohydrate with the rest being a bit of fat. Before I left to run around town, I'd tried to eat some decent sliced pastrami and some delicious Kerrygold Dubliner cheese, but I just couldn't finish it all. I had to pop the half-eaten plate contents back into the refrigerator for later consumption. The plate contents only amounted to 600 kilocalories, but my stomach said, "No." When I asked why, it said, "Do you want to ralph into the big white telephone? Do ya, buddy?" :(
Also, when I checked yesterday night and then again this evening with a ketosis test strip, my urine ketone levels tested at "large." The color in both cases was one step short of the deepest color on the color guide. Needless to say, this was a bit startling. I tried hard to stay hydrated today, but the result was the same again.
I know that loss of appetite is a major advantage of the ketogenic method, and I ordinarily wouldn't mind, but this is just disturbing. I actually found myself thinking about special ways to make a meal super-delicious so I'd want to eat it and not just be sadly forcing down mouth stuff.
It's been a mere three weeks since I plunged again into the pure ketogenic approach in a serious attempt to lose all of this blubber before I end up lying on the sidewalk somewhere like a beached whale. Is this state of being gonna be the new normal for the next couple of years?
What the heck do you do when food, formerly one of the little lights of your life, turns into a mildly disgusting substance that almost but not quite makes you want to retch?
Yeah, I know I'm probably making too much of this odd phenomemon, but it's damn weird. Maybe it'll pass like a giant turd from eating an entire bunch of bananas in one sitting. -_-
