Keto Weight Loss Update - Week 12

Week 12 results are in.  With the Thanksgiving holiday, I somehow forgot to post week 11 - maybe because I posted week 10 the day before I was supposed to post week 11, and subconsciously thought I had already posted for the week. Who knows.

Based on my numbers, Thanksgiving had an effect on my downward trend as you can see in the graphs below.  I tried to avoid carbs, but when you're eating at friends houses, you never really know what's in the food, and I wasn't going to be antisocial by eating nothing but a plate of turkey covered in butter. :)



Week 12 - Weight 183 lbs, 29% body fat.

So, you can see by the numbers that the holiday feast had an impact.  I was obviously out of ketosis, and gained some weight.  Based on the numbers, I actually gained about 0.29 pounds of fat, which makes sense if my fat intake was still high and I was out of ketosis.  The odd thing is that I gained a pound of weight, but only gained 0.29 pounds of fat, and didn't work out.  One of the side benefits of ketogenic diets is a decrease in inflammatory response in the body. Inflammation can be anywhere and everywhere, including inside organs, in joints, etc.  It's possible that some of the weight that I gained didn't show up as fat, and most likely isn't muscle because I haven't been working out, and thus could be an increase in inflammation caused by eating foods like wheat, which has been shown to cause random inflammation around the body. Who knows. At this point, I'll just chalk it up to Thanksgiving, and plan on exercising again once the month ends.


As I mentioned previously, I'm doing NaNoWriMo, so I'm not working out this month.

Currently, I am at just over 42,000 words of my 50,000 word target.  I should be able to make my target if I continue working at lunch each day, and some in the evenings as I have been.
