I recently had an epiphany about how a lot of foods that processed are meant to have additives that make you want more. And whenever I’m craving those foods I remind myself that am I actually wanting the food or the additives. This mentality has helped me stay away from foods that I deem hurtful... Continue Reading →
Small Victories
I believe that when you are losing weight then you need to really appreciate the small victories. It's almost like small positive reinforcement. So I wanted to take the time to acknowledge them. I've been losing weight consistently and with thyroid issues I think that's just the greatest feeling ever. I'm losing fat in the... Continue Reading →
How Magnesium has saved me…
DISCLAIMER I am only a chemist, I am not a dietician or a physician. Please speak to your trusted provider before taking any supplements... I'm only writing about my own experience. The weight loss program I'm following recommended magnesium supplements to help improve sleep since it's almost like a natural muscle relaxer. So I bought... Continue Reading →
Actually Counting Calories?
So I've hit a point in my current weight loss (30 pounds lost) and my weight is sitting comfortably still. It's really annoying to be honest but I decided to do the one thing I hate the most. Count calories. Wait, wait...hear me out. I follow a very lazy version of the keto diet. I... Continue Reading →
I’ve Been Too Relaxed

Weightloss with Calibrate and Keto

I was on Mounjaro from October to January and for the past month, I've only been on the Keto diet attached to their triangle (basically I don't eat as much processed foods). I hit my second goal weight of 10%! To be honest this has... Continue Reading →
First Week Back at Keto Diet – Following my Triangle and Goals
For the past week I've been doing the keto diet and it's been the easiest I've ever done. To be honest I haven't even wanted to cheat once. I did go almost six days with soda and even when I had it again it didn't taste as good as normal. So what's been different? I... Continue Reading →
Keto here I go again
I've been trying to find a way to improve my eating habits and eat more whole foods. Unfortunately, I am addicted to sugar so it's been hard to get myself to eat better. I've lost 30 pounds in the past six months so I'm pretty happy with how I've managed to do so. The issue... Continue Reading →
My Current Struggles
I can't really say everything about all my current struggles but after today I am feeling so much better about everything. Basically, I'm having issues with my landlord enough that I will be moving. (All I can say is they crossed a line I'm not comfortable with). I may have found a place today that... Continue Reading →
