Well, I started my diet and quit drinking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2 no alcohol and day 3 of diet (keto).
Man, this is hard stopping drinking and dieting all at the same time.
For some reason I can not sleep at night and am really short with people.
I have no patience what so ever.
The weight is comming off too fast too but that is water.
I was way down in the gym yesterday and I know on low carb diets you need to take it easy at first before the ketones take effect.
Checked to see if I was in ketosis this morning with the keto sticks and not yet.
This transition period from detoxing from alcohol (drank for 25 years) and slipping into burning fat instead of carbs is murder.
I dont want to take anything to handle anxiety or sleeping pills but I was late to work today as I didnt sleep last night or the night before.
Tossed and turned all night and could not get comfortable.
Grabbed this copy and paste:
This is because alcohol interrupts the normal sleep cycle.
When you first stop drinking, you may notice that your sleep pattern is still disturbed for a while - this will settle down as your body adapts to being alcohol-free.
And noticed this for sure:
Alcohol reduces REM sleep - there is a rebound effect after a detox and people are often able to recall very vivid dreams, because they are having this extra REM sleep or even hallucinations.
All in all I am excited about this diet and will probably do 10 weeks to get down to my desired weight.
Then I will take some pictures.
But man oh man what a rough road doing both at the same time
