With a cruise coming up, I think now would be a good time to shed a few pounds. Everyone that has been on a cruise knows that a person usually gains wait eating all the yummy food provided. My intent is to shed some of this excess weight so when I get on the ship and start eating like a pig, my clothes will not be too tight!!!
I have been reading about the KETO diet and watching videos about it as well. From what I understand, it is a HIGH FAT, moderate protein, low carb diet. That sounds ok to me. I understand some things that I love, like bread and potatoes, and rice are a not allowed. I can do that… maybe. Giving up tortillas will be hard. So. Hard.
But the problem I will have is the no sugar. But I have a reason. I have allergies to artificial sweeteners. It is not fun to have something someone has made that has artificial sweetener in it. Unfortunately, it makes me sick and brings on a massive migraine. When this happens, I’m out for a couple to days trying to get rid of the headache. The so called natural sweeteners, like Stevia, make me itch. I know… I’m weird. But I have no other options when it comes to sugar.
My only choice is to limit my sugar which really will not be that hard. I use sugar in my first cup of coffee but not in the refills. I do not use sugar in my tea which is hard sometimes. I do feel that I can limit and monitor my sugar intake so maybe I can figure out a modified Keto diet that will work for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
