Feeling like I ate way too much

Howdy! Two days into the Keto diet and I’m feeling like I’ve eaten way too much (uncomfortably full both days). On the app I’m not sure if I’m eating the right amount (calories) Help?

  • You don't need to meet your calories.  There will be days where you go over your calories, and days where you will be under your calories.  The rule is eat when hungry and until you are full.  It's much more important to track your carb macros.

    Part of the medical report I have just posted in Favourite Self Education finds.....

    Counting or restricting calories is not necessary for lasting success.

    • While many “diets” restrict calories in order to get results, a well-formulated ketogenic diet allows the individual to eat fat to satiety and still lose weight and improve metabolic health.
    • Calorie counting is not essential; however, individuals must be mindful not to eat past satiety or purposefully consume fats in excess of energy needs in an effort to increase ketone values.
    • For many people who have spent a lifetime eating a fat-restricted diet which promotes inflammation and inhibits satiety, experiencing the prompt sense of having eaten enough (i.e., satiety, not fullness) that occurs with nutritional ketosis can be a new experience. Working with a health coach and/or learning how to identify physiological satiety is important for success.

     NO health coach for me.... but I have learnt to listen to my own body 😀👏👏👏 you will too, listen & trust.
