The First Avocado Encounter
Picture this: I’m standing in the produce aisle, staring at a perfectly ripe avocado. Its green skin winks at me, whispering, “I’m your ticket to ketosis.” That’s when it all began. I bought that avocado, took it home, and sliced it like a pro. The creamy goodness? Mind-blowing. From that moment, I knew avocados and I were destined for greatness.
The Keto Flu Saga
Ah, the infamous keto flu—a rite of passage. It hit me like a ton of cauliflower. Headache? Check. Fatigue? Oh, you bet. But I soldiered on, sipping bone broth and chanting, “Electrolytes, my friends!” It was like battling a tiny storm inside my body. But guess what? I survived. And those ketones? They danced a victory jig.
The Office Donut Temptation
Office life: fluorescent lights, endless meetings, and that devilish pink box—the donut box. But armed with my keto resolve, I resisted. I’d stare at those glazed rings, mentally calculating net carbs. “Not today, sugar bomb,” I’d whisper. And you know what? My coworkers thought I was a Zen master. Little did they know, it was all about macros.
The Keto Brain Boost
One day, mid-keto, I sat down to work. My brain hummed like a turbocharged engine. Ideas flowed—like a waterfall of clarity. I solved problems faster than a keto-adapted cheetah. It was like upgrading from dial-up internet to fibre optics. Ketones, my friends, are the brain’s secret weapon.
The Stealthy Hidden Carbs
I thought I had it all figured out. But then came the hidden carbs—those sneaky ninjas. Sauces, dressings, even innocent-looking veggies. They’d creep into my macros like uninvited guests at a keto party. But fear not! I became a label-reading ninja. “Show me your net carbs,” I’d demand. And they’d cower.
The Magnesium Chronicles
Maggy, my trusty magnesium pill, deserves a shoutout. She kept my muscles cramp-free. We’d chat like old pals. “Maggy,” I’d say, “you’re my knight in shining electrolytes.” And she’d sparkle (figuratively, of course).
The Keto Community
Keto isn’t a solo gig. I found my tribe—the keto warriors. We swapped recipes, celebrated non-scale victories, and debated the merits of zoodles. We were like a secret society, decoding ketosis one cauliflower rice bowl at a time.
The Scale Dance
Ah, the scale—the fickle oracle. Some days it’d high-five me; other days, it’d play hard to get. But I learned: weight isn’t everything. Energy, mental clarity, and feeling like a superhero—those were my real victories.
The Midnight Bacon Cravings
Late-night cravings? Bacon to the rescue! I’d fry it up like a rebel, savouring each crispy bite. Keto taught me that bacon isn’t just food; it’s a love language.
The Keto Legacy
So here I am, Ben, sharing my keto saga. It’s not just about macros and ketones; it’s about reclaiming my health, one avocado at a time. So go forth, fellow keto adventurer. May your macros be precise, your avocados ripe, and your ketones dance like nobody’s watching.
Remember, keto isn’t just a diet; it’s a delicious, fat-fuelled journey. 🥑🔥
