Hi - this is my fourth day as a newbie to CD SS+. I have found it a bit tough being a veggie who does not like cottage cheese and despite drinking lots of water I have been feeling low, headaches and dizzy.
Today I checked and I was in ketosis (hurrah) and had lost four pounds on my home scales (double hurrah).
However.... I've just cheated. I have had two tablespoons of peanut butter. I just thought 'high protein' even though it has carbs, oil and sugar. I needed a rush, to feel like my blood sugar levels were up - and it has worked.
But now, I fear this sin will affect my first weigh in. I'm so disappointed in myself as I thought I could handle this diet and I have already failed.
Should I dare test myself for ketosis tomorrow? (btw where can I by the testing sticks? my CDC gave me a couple of sticks but need to by my own pack).
