ok so I am up a few pounds, no biggie! I am pretty sure I know what has happened and steps are in place to remedy the situation.
1. I wasn't tracking my food...I know, I know. It was lazy of me to not track.
2. I have not been taking the proper magnesium supplement. I realized we had purchased Mag Oxide rather than Mag Citrate which actually makes you a bit constipated (and thus, not eliminating properly, hence weight gain).
3. I suspect I have not been eating enough fat or food in general (see #1)
4. Along with #3, I have not been taking enough coconut oil, but HAVE been eating nuts. So, eliminating nuts, increasing coconut oil and getting back to the basics.
I also have been looking at some research regarding Keto and women's hormone response. Interesting stuff for sure! Apparently there is a colloquial term foe the state I have been in the past week: low carb purgatory. I have sufficiently lowered my carb intake, and eliminated inflammatory carbs/oils, but haven't eaten enough (or enough fat) to produce sufficient ketones to be considered ketogenic. Like I stated previously, steps are in place to remedy the situation.
Had a visit with the doc today to get baselines done. She seemed a bit overwhelmed but impressed at the knowledge I had regarding how metabolism worked and our hormonal response to foods. She was more than happy to order up whatever tests I felt I wantes done for baselines though, which was nice. She also said she can refer me to an endo or nutritionist should I feel I need their expertise as well. Labs are being drawn on Wed morning, so I should have results this week or next. I specifially asked for HgB A1c, Full thyroid workup (tsh, free t3/t4), Cholesterol and lipid panel (with breakdown of LDL particle type), vitamin B and D levels.
Will check in next week with results following labs. KCKO!
