Worked from home yesterday and ate breakfast (3 eggs and 2 pieces of sausage) for the first time in a while and gained 0.8lbs. Lunch and dinner where my usual meals. I am unhappy.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.
The ozempic is definitely helping. Iām sure it isnāt just the keto at this point. Yesterday was cheat day. I ordered an appetizer of queso fundido with delicious flour tortillas and couldnāt even finish it. Made me sad, but then I remembered I could eat it today with Keto tortillas. I only gained 1lbs yesterday, which is by far the least Iāve gained on a cheat day so far, and I have veins in my forearms coming back. That makes me happy.

I have been eating two meals a day at about 11:00AM and 5:00PM. I am starting to get hungry in the morning before lunch, so Iām adding in a protein shake before work. I figured out my calories yesterday and it has only been coming to about 1250/day. Today was the first day Iāve felt a little weaker in the gym since I started Keto.
Edit: I just realized Iām probably getting hungry earlier because Iām out of Vyvanse

I have been thinking about coming off of the Keto for a week so I can gauge how much of my suppressed appetite is due to the Keto vs. the Ozempic. I have to travel for 3 days next week, so I feel like next week would be a good week to do it. I know Iāll gain some water weight for sure, but Iām not worried about the scale so much as I am seeing what my appetite is like eating a ānormalā diet.

Came off the keto yesterday, so I know Iāve gained some water weight at least. Went to a Chinese buffet for lunch and couldnāt finish one plate. Went to Taco Cabana for dinner and ordered about half of what I normally would and was quite content with it. That leads me to believe the Ozempic is definitely having at least as much effect as the keto was controlling appetite.

Had expected to gain about 5lbs of water coming off of the keto, but so far Iām only up 2.2lbs. Probably back on keto Sunday, but Iām still kind of debating that.

Iād be curious to hear what youāre weighing your thoughts between on this.
Well, this week I donāt really feel like I got an understanding of how the weight loss will go on the ozempic if Iām NOT on keto, since this week I gained the rebound water weight. Iām thinking about going one more week off keto, just to see what my weight does. Then definitely getting back on the keto. Iām just curious.
Ah, Iām understanding now. Getting an understanding of baseline. Makes sense.

My only advice on this is any calorie restricted diet will have water/sodium fluctuations that can get very frustrating. Even if you eat the same things everyday. I have seen this in myself and other patients. I know you need to do things a certain way but just want to make sure you understand that as well.
