Day Two – October 20, 206
I am 38 hours into my cleansing fast. At about Noon today, I will kick off ‘Keto Journey’ and will be very careful. Carbs less than 20 grams/day and smaller portions.
Last night, I woke in the middle of the night and raided the Almond Butter. I woke with a taste of Almond butter but had little recollection. It’s okay to cheat (in my opinion).
