The Baked Goods Are Taunting Me (Week 1 of Keto)
I work in a fantastic place- my content team is constantly bringing sweets or baked good for people’s birthdays or just because. Normally, I take full advantage of them.
But I just started Keto a week ago. And so they sat there, taunting me. Somehow, they lasted for days too. Usually, teachers descend on free food like locusts (or it might just be me). By the third day, their lure began to wear off, and I no longer struggled against my bonds, the sailor finally released from the siren song.
I still occasionally get headaches, and God help someone who gets between me and food- any delay results in a rage that could raise the hackles of a hurricane. But a week later, I find that even on the minuscule amount of calories recommended by the calorie calculator, I’m not starving. And I have developed this relationship with food that I’ve never had before, where I don’t have to clean my plate.
But seriously, anyone have any recommendations for decent low carb bread? A girl can only eat so many loaves of flavored, weirdly soft cardboard.

OOH yeah! Baked goods! I like bagels! Like blueberry bagels toasted perfectly with a lot of butter and peanut butter on them. Great before setting out on a cold day. Of course, when board shorts season comes around, I'll wish I'd had a salad! But who wants to eat cold and wet, when it's cold and wet outside?
Truuuuuuuuth! Luckily, Keto involves lots of bacon.
please tell me where you find the willpower. i see food. i eat food. as long as i dont have it in front of me i have a modicum of control. i can even keep choc chips in my freezer and not think about them. much. but heaven help me if i see frosting. the colored stuff makes me puke. my brain conveniently forgets this. at least i dont gain any weight if i vomit after, right?
Same girl saaaaame. The first three days were rough, but now I look at it and feel nothing. Anything sweeter than a piece of fruit is gross. Fingers crossed it lasts!
