Day 93

For the first time since changing my diet from the standard low-fat to LCHF, I picked up weight. And not just a little, a whole whopping 2.2 kg! Am I happy about it? Not a snowball's chance in hell. Am I going to stop banting? Not any time soon!

So, what happened? Did I eat anything different? Nope! Did I snack more? Nope! Did I increase my portion sizes? Nope again. However, about three weeks ago I was sick (actually both me and The Wife were sick), so we went to the doctor. The doc gave us each a course of cortisone. Now we all know that cortisone causes you to gain weight.

We did not gain weight that week, and we did not gain the week after. This week, however, both me and The Wife gained. I gained more than she did (she only gained 1.2 kg), but both our girls still lost. I believe that if it was the food that caused us to gain this week, the girls would have gained as well. So I hope it is all only a delayed reaction from the cortisone, and that it will not have any more bad effects this week...

Anyway, this coming weekend is going to be a biggy. Eldest is having some friends over on Friday. They are planning to game thru the night on Friday, then watch movies and game some more on Saturday. We, of course, have to provide enough snacks to last. We already have a number of ideas, under which mini-pizzas (a slice of salami with some melted cheese on top) and different types of egg muffins. Must still go hunt for other banting-friendly snacks we can prepare for the young ones, so we can have some variety!
