Dear Diary

Thanks to the antibiotic, I'm getting less green things coming out of me. And thanks to a little bit more approved carbs¹, I'm getting rid of the nastiness at lightning rates.

I could do without the epic purge of mucous, about two hours after I've gone to bed... but that's just how my body wants to roll.

Hopefully, this will be the last time in my life that I'll be on antibiotics.

My breathing is easier. My mind is clear... and my stomach is still complaining about being empty even after my usual dose of salty broth.

And I've also almost crept back up to 85 kilos over the recovery period. Boo. But then, most of that weight loss was from being sick, so I really shouldn't have taken that win.

The sinuses need another hose-out, of course. I'll get to that... sometime today.

But consider this - I beat a virus in three days. I've needed a little help conquering a bacterial infection... but that's definitely on the way down. And I've done this without breaking Ketogenesis.

Which means that, since this is the end of my third week on Keto, my body is starting to become Keto-adapted. My body is starting to look for fats as energy, rather than sugars by any means.

Which might just mean I'll completely stop craving sweet things. Stop laughing that hard, you'll burst something.

I'm still waiting for my cholesterol check to come in. I suspect it won't turn up until after Yuletide. Lab geeks need their vacations, too. Either that, or the doctor who ordered them just doesn't believe it and has told them to do it again.

Whatever. I can keep doing this until they write me off as one of millions of 'statistical outliers' out there. And I'll be healthier, carry less fat, look younger², and live longer than anyone else who's been towing the LFHC line.

Sooner or later, common belief has got to shift to fit the mountains of evidence out there.

Saturday is Stabbin' Day for me. When I stick a needle in my finger and do the blood-on-a-stick tests to see how well I'm doing.

Ketone level: 1.9 [Ketonic normal is between 0.5 and 5]
Blood Sugar: 4.5 [Human normal is between 4 and 6]

I may have picked up Lurgi¹ from Wet'n'Wild, or from dear little Mayhem... or it may be Keto flu. But whatever it is, I'm feeling a little tiny bit rotten this morning.

It

It is week three on Ketogenics and the fat is melting off of me. And, like all weight loss, it's happening head-downwards.

I have skin hanging off me in deceptive lumps - translated, that means my spare tyres are only visible when I'm upright.

And the really good news is that the melting has gone down to butt level. Once that's finished draining, maybe my thighs will shrink down to a more acceptable minimum.

Both Beloved and I are having real trouble
