Day4 of Week25, IF, 18/6
SW: 104kg/229lbs; CW: 88kg/194lbs; GW: 85kg/187lbs
Today is 88,2kg down from the 88,7kg of yesterday.
After 4 hard boiled eggs, a baked potato, a banana and an oat bar, entering the 48h fast.
I hope at least I can shed the excess water weight the so called carb-reduced bread issues.
Had to skip the morning workout to prepare the meal but afternoon workout is scheduled.
Sleep was rather bad last night. I kept falling asleep and waking up for some reason so at best I’ve got like 4 hours of Zzzs.
But at least we’ve turned the corner toward the weekend! ;)
Week 10
Goal this week is to reach ‘the 92’s’ and I think I’ll make it. So looking forward to being under 90 kilo’s again. 1,5 years ago was the last time I was under 90.
Still reading dr. Fung’s book the Obesity Code. So interesting to read about insuline and it’s effects on gaining/losing weight. Only thing that’s still unclear to me is that he says that calorie restriction is not good because it slows down your metabolism, but on the other hand he says in interviews that you eat less calories naturally when you do fasting. So is eating around 1500 calories to low?
Day 48, end of week 2 of OMAD (18:6 before that). I took one break for my nephew’s birthday party. I felt like I stalled a little, but the scale dropped today. I can also go down to the last hole on my belt, though not comfortable enough to wear all day. I like this particular belt so I’ll need to punch some new holes in it.
I cut out all starchy foods and sugar, which is making it hard to gauge how much I’m eating so I think need to go back to keeping a good diary. Today I ate 250 g chicken, an egg and a lot of vegetables and felt full, but even when accounting for cooking oil that was around 1000 calories which I think is to little (I’m 249 lbs)
Day ? of Week ?, IF, Various. Right now in the last 3 hours of a 40-hour fast.
SW: 313lbs; CW: 173; GW: 160lbs
Thought about extending this fast into Friday night, but I’m going to the movies this evening so would like some popcorn. Feeling a little tired right now, normal for me in the mornings. Looking forward to my fast-breaker granola / breakfast bar, though I might switch it out for a bowl of lackluster cereal I need to get through.
I hit a bit of a plateau around 175 and spent a few weeks bouncing back and forth between 175 and 178 or so. Hoping that I can break through some of that by keeping things kind of light this weekend before another multi-day fast next week.
Day 49SW: 188lbs CW: 184lbs GW: 140lbs
Uggghhh I’m so frustrated this week. I’d been steadily losing a pound a week, got down to 181, then jumped back up to 184 overnight and I’ve stayed there all week.
Not sure what happened… my best guess is water retention from taking allergy medicine now that they’re acting up with the weather change.
I also switched from 16:8 to 2:5 then back again, maybe that made my body angry haha
On week three of 16:8 and I feel like I’m getting used to the mornings well enough. My afternoon snacking though is derailing my progress. It’s frustrating to be sure but I have to just adjust and make the needed changes to get the results I want.
Today my plan is to tap into that success I’ve had with morning fasting and have a protein filled lunch then wait until dinner to eat my next meal. Just putting it in writing may help hold me accountable.
