Was inspired to start the Diet by listening to Joe Rogan discuss it on his podcast but I'm 5 days in and am starting to wonder whether I'm doing it correctly. Not because I'm not seeing/feeling benefits yet because I know the time to enter full ketosis can vary, but just a general worry I may be wasting my time up until this point. I am sticking to the diet for the mental benefits rather than weight loss etc.
I thought I'd post my Diary of the kind of things I've been eating for my daily meals for any tips/advice.
Bit of info about myself, I'm 19, 5'6", 127 pounds (59 kilo, 9 stone something, however you want to read it) and a university student in England. (I do not really have the budget for supplements etc as I know JR has spoke before about Exogenous Ketones that help you re-enter ketosis really quickly which would be handy if I fancy a cheat meal every now and again).
I have been very strict with myself so far as I want to commit to it fully, however I am having extremely strong cravings for the kind of foods I used to eat, so have been probably sneaking one or two more spoonfuls of almond butter than I should do.. I also have a mug of green tea after every meal and 2 very small (-6 grams in total) squares of 85% Dark chocolate of an evening for the seperate benefits that brings.
Anyway heres my diary so far, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

- Pancetta, mushroom and marscapone omelette
