I’m sure there are many people out there who are curious what this “life style” may look like. A typical day for me in nutritional ketosis might help shed some light for anyone who is curious.

Wake up

Curse the day

Coffee (with either heavy whipping cream or half and half if I’m feeling frisky).

Make lunch to take to work(usually consists of just putting my pre made food in a few containers and packing it in my lunch box).

• Usually a low carb mission wrap with salami and munster cheese or a variation there of
• Veggie soup with lots of butter or olive oil
• Chilli (since its getting colder out it hits the spot with some cheese and a little bit of onion)

Go to work (I work 10-9 so I bring the rest of the days food with me)

Curse work

Eat my wrap as a first meal with a possible refill of coffee, as well as fill up my big jug of water. This is usually around 1:00 PM and eaten at my desk.

Work some more and Really curse work

Take my lunch usually around 3 or 4. Eat either soup or chili that I brought that day.

Refill giant water jug and go back to work.

Come home and rest and get meals ready for the next day.

Even though I curse work it still helps me keep a regular schedule and if you have already spent money on groceries and time on prepping food AND you remember to bring it to work, your going to eat your food. I have found that over cooked/not that good food always tastes better when at work as its your only food options for that day and you know it is making you healthier.

On Days I work i usually skip breakfast just simply for time sake. On off days I will usually have a breakfast with some egg dish and coffee. The longer I stay in Ketosis the less and less I get hungry or wake up hungry. This helps make skipping breakfast not too big of a deal.

The main take away is that I am in more of a routine and taking my lunch to work allows me to control what is in it and helps me save money as I can make my food to fit my budget and macro plan. At first I would miss going out for lunch and then on the way home, but I have so much more time not leaving the office and the money I am saving can’t be beat.
