[Orema]

This is the first day of flushing carbs from my system. What works for me is to not focus on losing weight for the first few days and just work on getting the carbs out of my system. So I eat what I want, when I want, as long as it's low carb.

For breakfast I had a Denver omelet (ham, bell pepper, onion, eggs) slices of tomatoes and decaf.

I'll have a couple small salads today (lettuce, sprouts, very few tomatoes—if any, chopped cabbage, chopped kale, cucumbers), will snack on boiled eggs, will have some shelled edamames with sesame oil, and for dinner I'll probably have salmon in anchovy butter with cauliflower rice and maybe some steamed chard.

I'll make some kale chips this weekend and will snack on that, too.

My goal is to lose weight and the only way I successfully lose weight is to count calories. I'll start counting my calories once I get the carbs out of my system. It's easier for me to eat less than 1300 calories a day when I'm eating low-carb foods.
