Finally… An Update!

July 19th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Miscellaneous.

Hey everyone, I’m sorry for being out of commission for so long. I have been on vacation (out of state) for the past couple of weeks. After revealing that, I am sure that many of you know who I am… which is fine.

I lost a total of 11 pounds on the Kimkins diet before leaving on my vacation. I lost that weight in 11 days. Overall, I felt pretty good physically while doing the diet and my chronic fatigued feeling completely left. However, I left on June 30th for a cross-country road trip. I had known that it would be difficult to stay eating only lean meat, eggs and veggies while on my road trip, but I didn’t quite realize HOW hard.

Let me tell you now that it is pretty much impossible. I love the feeling I get while in Ketosis - I can’t really explain the feeling, you will have to wait until you get in it yourself - but it doesn’t translate well to mountain and long driving. While at home, I have no problems. But being on the road for about 9 hours a day and changing altitudes constantly, I felt nauseated and light-headed. I got up about 2200 feet and started feeling really crappy. After I drank a V8 juice blend thing, I felt a lot better, but that just started me on the path to completely abandoning a low carb diet.

And abandon it I did…

    First, congrats on your success! Kimkins is a great program. I started in mid April and have lost 32.5 pounds…so far. I’m shooting for 10 more. It’s not easy to get started on a new program but this one will keep you motivated.

    Don’t worry, that’s what vacations are for. I’m sure everything will fall back into place when you’re at home and in a normal routine!

    Get back up on that horse as they say…you’ll drop even more weight now that you’re back and going back on your lean eating diet. I personally keep telling myself that I can persevere…I just have to reach my goal, and then I’ll just have to maintain it. I don’t have to eat protein & veggies forever…only until I see 120 :) I’m sooo there with you…I started at 186 as my heaviest, and now I’m at 143…it IS possible. You’ve sooo got this!
