Let me know how you like them brats. I like to chop mine up and fry them alongside my bacon. I let em get crispy then add some cheese occasionally, along with ranch and hot sauce. Delish!

I did alright last night.
-about 6pm had some 3 lil doughnut sticks
-8pm some chips and salsa and quesadilla
-9pm a twix bar

Didn't feel the insulin binge that I used to get which I hope means better hormone regulation. Wanted to have carb meal done sooner but I bought my wife a new car,

-morning carb weight is 233. Not feeling like crap like when I tried a full day carb load.

Gotta see how the stats look at the end of the week, but I like the feel of the routine already.

I hit it hard on the 24th. good stats check and such. going to take the 25th as a carb day and rehit a skd for 2-3weeks. I have a very active job(deliveru coordinator/puller for a major lumber company) so that will help both with reastablishing the keto and loosing the last bit of chub. Hope to have ideal cut done by middle of january.
