My kotegenic journey
began last week
I must cut
carbohydrate consumption
especially provisions
packed with processed sugars
Swap sweets
with nuts
string cheese
when I yearn for a snack
I’ve held fast
for a week
and have survived
Yet, now
I am staring at this bowl
creamy cold
covered in caramel
sinful hot fudge
and ethereal whipped topping
Dark chocolate
is a heart-healthy cheat
allowed in a ketogenic diet
right?
The sticky-sweet snack
is a refreshing respite
from the salty crunch
of nuts and cheese chunks
The spoonful of sweet cream
somersaults as it thaws
Stampeding from my tongue
pulsating anxious intensity
throughout my veins
A sundae cheat
a high calorie treat
that should be consumed
in deliberate moderation
