This morning, like usual, I started my day with a workout. On an empty stomach, I focused on chest, shoulders, and triceps. I don't particularly enjoy chest exercises, so I don’t do them often. Plus, since my shoulder muscles are small, it seems like my blood sugar doesn't rise much after working them out. The workout intensity felt quite high (RPE 8).

For breakfast, I kept it simple with a protein shake. My blood sugar went up a bit today, though only slightly.

For a mid-morning snack, I had a salami stick and a protein bar, and I sipped on an iced Americano with three shots of espresso over a fairly long period.

For lunch, I went to Euljiro with some keto friends and had dakdoritang (spicy chicken stew) and chicken salad. The food was quite sweet, and despite not eating rice, my blood sugar spiked significantly. I think it was because I had a lot of the broth.

For dinner, I grilled some beef and prepared it three ways: with salt, teriyaki sauce, and stir-fried with gochujang (Korean chili paste). I enjoyed it with leafy greens and, just like yesterday, a half-serving of rice (150g).

I think having half a serving of rice with a clean meal is fine. However, with a meal like today’s lunch, which wasn’t as clean and was quite sweet, I should probably avoid rice. I’m happy to have collected meaningful data today.

Another day has passed without any issues! Here’s to making it through to day 15!
