The Skinny Farmer

by Skinny Farmer I've tried to avoid using the "F" word, but sometimes it is called for.  You might want to use it too. As you know, I had fallen off the wagon of my weight loss, but I'm getting back on track.  I've been eating solid Keto for well over a week now and I'm feeling great.  But I'm not losing weight as quickly as I'd like.  That makes me want to use the "F" word. So here goes. Cover your ears if you are sensitive,

By Skinny Farmer I knew that I would.....now that I'm back on Keto . As I wrote previously, I had screwed up and allowed Carbs back into my life.  I am truly amazed at how quickly the negative effects of carbohydrates impacted me.  They really derailed me. Not just my weight loss either.  I was feeling tired, foggy, sluggish, and I had sinus congestion. Yes, that last one surprised me.

By Skinny Farmer My name is Skinny, and I'm a Carboholic. As I told you a few days ago, I unwisely allowed carbs to slip back into my life, and they tried to take over.  Read about my struggles here . I have found that giving up carbs can be difficult.  And I can't simply cut back.  I have to give them up completely.  I have to have fewer than 20 carbs a day, or they will be all I can think about. Carbs turn me into a robot...a carbot, if you will.  I pick them up and are eating them before I even realize what I'm doing.  Has that ever happened to you?

By Skinny Farmer Ok.  I screwed up. I said it.  You happy? I'm not.  I'm quite upset about it actually. I let carbs sneak back into my life and I have only myself to blame. As you may know, I have been on the Ketogenic diet since the beginning of this year.  I was cruising along, losing weight like crazy, and then I thought I was invincible.  I let myself get sloppy. I can handle a few carbs.  So I let my guard down and had a few.  And then a few more. Before I knew it, the cravings were back. Has something like this ever happen to you? I had been keto-adapted, and now I was falling back into my old ways.  But I'm not going to let it beat me.  I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do about it.

By Skinny Farmer One thing we here at the Skinny Farmer are always trying to do is learn something new. This blog is a prime (and very public!) example. V.G. and I are new to blogging, so please forgive our mistakes. We have a bunch of great (in our opinion) ideas of where to take this. We want you to be a part of it.

By Skinny Farmer I admit it, I'm tired this morning. You ever feel that way too?  Of course.  We all experience it from time to time.  I used to feel exhausted every morning, until I started taking steps to improve my sleep. But not lately.  Lately I've been extra tired in the morning. And I only have myself to blame.  That's because I'm not following my own advice. I just want to crawl in. What do I need to do to improve my sleep? There are some fundamental things that, at least for me, have made a big difference. I'll list some of them and then tell you where I screwed up.

by Skinny Farmer I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Now that the long weekend of eating that marks the unofficial end of summer is over, it's time to get down to business. The Holidays will be here before you know it and it is time to get our eating right before things get too crazy.  The key to eating right is what I hinted to in the title to this post. The Key To weight loss is Keto. What is that?  I'm going to tell you.

For those of you who jumped ahead to read this blog post in front of the prior ones, I say welcome. For the rest of you, you probably have been waiting to read what I have been doing to lose weight.  What is the secret weight loss hack? I'm going to tell you, but first, I ask you to have an open mind. You might read the secret and think it isn't for you.  If you read with that prejudice, you might deprive yourself of the best weight loss system I have ever tried.  Believe me, it's worth a try. Furthermore, it doesn't just help you lose weight.  Following this plan I am more energetic and many of my everyday aches and pains have gone away.  I believe it will do the same for you.
