I had ordered a cup and forgot to say decaf, so I drank it anyway. Got home and tested and was deep in ketosis. Tested again after dinner and this mrning, and stayed there. You might want to try testing, to see whether it's taking you out of ketosis. If it's not, then I should think you'd be okay with your little cup of coffee! It's 115 degrees outside here just now. I may go into the pool. Having something you enjoy doing sure helps with the exercise. My daughter has enrolled in a biweekly aerobics class, and she has firmed up, and is enjoying it. Now I'd have three eggs and lots of butter -- totally allowed on the diet. You aren't eating very much, and you are allowed to eat more than that. Much more. I'm stuffing - never been so full actually or felt so well while trying to diet. I think you are very strict with yourself, Hey, it's okay to sound down, especially if you are feeling down. I don't think putting on a front is going to help, and this is the place and we are the people to share with. My husband has lost only 3 pounds in 14 days (we're day 14) but I can see that the fat is less. On myself, as well. I actually feel my thighs and the blub around my waist is less than it was. Hang in there, and eat more of the allowed foods. Eat until you are satisfied, and we'll support each other through a bad time. Christine Cyndy, yesterday I tested the coffee thing.

It’s 115 degrees outside here just now. I may go into the pool. Having something you enjoy doing sure helps with the exercise. My daughter has enrolled in a biweekly aerobics class, and she has firmed up, and is enjoying it.
