I've been LC for four years but the carbs, the wine and the weight have snuck up this summer. I need to kick start weight loss again and DH is away for three days so I'm going to try an egg fast to get back into ketosis and reset things.
I KNOW it's mad and I'm not advocating it for anyone else but thought starting a thread may make me more accountable and some other fools may join in!
I'm following Stuntnun's thread from 2014 and this blog from I breathe I'm hungry. The basic rules are :
At least 6 eggs a day, more if you want.,1 tbsp of butter/mayo/coconut oil per egg and an optional 1oz of cheese and buckets of water.
I may also add in a little lettuce and celery if I'm really struggling.
Dairy is my downfall, so I'm going to try out bullet proof coffee for the first time. I'm 10lbs over my lowest weight and 7lbs from where I feel good, so hoping for a few pounds off to get on track.
I've bought eggs, butter, mayo and cheese. I feel like I could live on omelettes and egg mayonnaise but I may feel differently come Friday.
