Post 10. Let's try this again and again and again and again and again.

Diets are something that are so ROUGH to keep up with! So with the Naturally Slim diet, I learned a lot, but I haven't been good about applying them to my life...
But from here on, I will be dedicating myself to trying a new diet... the Ketogenic Diet. The Wikipedia page says that a Ketogenic Diet is: The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
I want to get in shape in general, and I have struggled with all sorts of diets. The one thing I HAVE noticed, though, is that it's well documented that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are good, saturated and trans fats are HORRIBLE. Duh. And that I'm supposed to avoid carbs... which is a little sad to me, because I kind of love carbs. I think, though, that I'll give it a whirl. And I'm sure that I'll get to a point where I won't feel so deprived when I don't have those things.

But here's to trying new things! First on the list, I'm going to try this broccoli cheddar soup that I saw on the blog "Keto girl in a carbed up world": http://ketogirlblog.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/keto-broccoli-chedder-soup/

Also, I'll be keeping track on my MyFitnessPal app. :)
Wish me luck! :)
