Week 1 keto challenges.

So far the keto food plan hasn't been difficult, but I haven't had to eat outside of my home.  Now I'm into the weekend and I'm gonna have to face the challenge of eating at a party in a restaurant where heavy appetizers are provided.  I have always   looked forward to this type of event because I'm very much a social eater.  Heavy appetizers have always been my favs.

My plan for this event is to seek out meats, cheeses, and dips.  I can pull the breading off chicken strips and deep fried seafood.  Sliders, I can remove the bread and eat what's inside.  If there's nothing keto friendly provided,  I'll order something from the restaurant.

Lately I fear I'm not eating enough to stay healthy.   My Doctor wants me to eat 15 carbs per meal.  I never eat that many.  Instead it's been more like 7 carbs per meal.  It's hard to eat 15 carbs in a meal and stay within the keto food plan.  I don't want to be kicked out of ketosis.

On a good note, I seem to have found the right dose for my long acting insulin.  I haven't had any lows or highs since my last adjustment.  My blood sugar monitor helps me keep a vigilant eye on my blood sugars.   Now I'm having to take very little of my short acting insulin, which is the best.

Now off to the treadmill.  Thanks to all of you for reading.  It makes the keto challenges a little easier.😀
