12 Days of Keto – Day 11

My 12 Days of Keto Plan is as follows:

I will fast for 16 hours each day (24 hour period) and have an 8 hour eating window.

During these 8 hours I will drink coffee with heavy cream, unsweetened black teas and of course water.

During these 8 hours I will eat meat, butter, eggs, fish, cheese, cream cheese, yogurt and probably some sauteed vegetables with dinner.

I will weigh myself each morning after waking up and before eating.

I will drink a big cup of water after waking up and every 1.5-2 hours after that with some real salt sprinkled in as well.

I plan to stop eating between 6PM or 7PM each night and cease IF at 10AM or 11AM accordingly.

I will post an update on my author blog each day. Simple text, no fancy graphics or gimmicks.

My 12 Days of Keto begin 12-26-2022 and end 1-06-2023.

I hope to drop at least 10 pounds in that time. I think my ideal weight is 160 with a little more muscle. I am more of a Dwarf than an Elf in stature.

This 12 days thing is just a fun gimmick to get me started. My ideal is likely IF + Carnivore, but I my heavy cream in coffee. It is a delight. I’ll assess every 2 weeks or so as I go forward to fine tune.

I forgot the morning weigh-in AGAIN! I head home early today, so I plan to fast until then and weigh at home. It’ll push me to do 18:6 IF, so I’m happy to roll with it. I am pushing myself towards a standard 18:6 fast, and I am slowly building up to it. How long does it take to build a habit, 22 days or so? I’ll be curious to see what my IF is like at the beginning of February.
