31. Hang in there!

Yeah, for me it was carbs. On my dad's side we are prone to diabetes and I am likely pre-diabetic. It was amazing how a 400-calorie bowl of pasta would put me down for a nap, but eating 900 calories of bacon and eggs on keto did not.

I'm sure I was carb-addicted for a long time, and I lucked out that in the midst of my pure keto run retailers embraced the low-carb thing and I can get zero-carb bread from my supermarket now.

I almost feel like cutting sugar, carbs, and most pastry and breads and being careful with everything else was the key. An app like Carb Manager where you enter all of your food to keep track can also really help.

Just be aware that there is often a "rush" of weight loss with a positive diet change at first. Don't lose hope if it slows down. It won't come off any faster than it took to put it all on! Don't micro-watch the scale. Weigh no more than once a week, longer if you can help it because your weight will fluctuate up and down naturally on a day to day basis.

Best of luck, and keep at it!
