It’s time for Weightloss Wednesday! As of this morning I am at 231.8 lbs which means I have actually gained a few pounds since last week. This is exactly what happened the last time I went carnivore for a month, I lost weight initially then it stabilized and creeped back on.
However, we need to talk about the BIG thing that happened this week. It’s so big, I still can’t wrap my head around it. It’s like I went looking for cool rocks and struck gold by accident. Here’s what happened.
On the first I started my carnivore experiment which included not drinking any Coke Zero, my one inescapable vice. The first 10 days went like these no Coke fasts go, I do it but I hate it. I literally obsess over my Coke Zero until the experiment is over. Well this time I didn’t even make it to the end of the experiment, in the tenth I CRACKED. that’s the best way to describe it. I drank every drop of Coke in the house, then left to buy more and drink that. It tasted so good!
But here’s the next thing that happened. The next morning I had gained about 5 lbs. Whoa! I changed nothing else about my diet and was for sure at a calorie deficit but somehow gained 5 lbs! This was proof positive (to me at least) that Coke Zero stimulates insulin for me which might evocation why I had such a hard time losing weight for the last 18 months or so.
But here’s the important part of the story, once I saw this, every bit of desire for Coke Zero disappeared. I don’t fully understand why but it’s been over a week now and I don’t have any of the cravings I typically have for Coke Zero. Honestly, I wish there was a way to boil this down to a firm’s because I could sell it and become a millionaire because I know a lot of Ketoers that can’t get off the Diet soft drink train and I would love to help but that’s what happened to me somehow.
So that’s my story for the week, how did you do? Tell me in the comments below!

Wow! Thank you for the info….
I’ve wondered if 8 drops of liquid stevia may actually ruin any progress or my health.
I use it for coffee usually 2 times a day.
Thanks Sheila
