Tried something new. Instead of me eating my break and lunch. I just had some whey protein powder for each. Total 400 cals (instead of 1000). Felt good doing it. I've maintained for a month and I want to start losing again so I'm going to give this a go for awhile and see how it works.3

That's a really great idea. The next time I feel like I'm going to end up having a 16hr day, I'll try that. I hope your recovery is going well!0 -
Walked today for 30 min at brisk pace (1.90 miles, 3.8-miles/hr average). Didn't have any pain in calf. Will increase to an hour over three more workouts (don't add on this fast if you haven't got a history of recently doing some of this) and if ok will start running again and add on easy slow distance tell get to 1-hr.
I did the protein thing for just one day and felt good. I change things a lot so my latest is I think on my two lift days of the week, I'm going to do the morn and afternoon protein supp. On my run days (3-days a week) I will probably only do the afternoon supplement. On my two non-workout days I won't do any supplementing. The other food I will eat on all these days will probably be in a four hour window so basically I would be doing a 20:4 routine but with some protein supps added in. I think only those getting somewhat close to goal weight should be doing this type of thing and if a person is really heavy, they need to just concentrate on getting the weight off and do the OMAD routine. I'm not losing much weight doing these things and don't expect to.
I'm getting stronger each time I lift which is fun and I can tell the diff looking in the mirror also.3 -
There was a big luncheon today at work. I about didn't eat it but remembered one of our OMAD biggest tricks and that was, "I can have it, just not now". So I made a big plate and put it in the fridge. I ate it after work and that was my dinner for the most part. Got to eat a lot of yummy stuff that I wouldn't have if I didn't do that and I also got a long fast in!2

Little bit of a rough week. Friday before last ate a lot. Monday had too much. Wed night was daughters b-day and took her out to eat and ate a lot. Thurs at work they had a potluck lunch. I made a plate and didn't eat it tell after work. Weighed myself that evening and was 220! Holy smokes! 8 more pounds than starting in the morning. Turns out Wed night and thurs potluck food were a lot of carbs and I must have soaked up a lot of water. Ate a kito dinner on Fri and this morning I'm back to just over 210. How's that for some weight fluctuations!
Friday lifted after work in a fasted state (didn't eat anything) and I am really impacted by working out fasted. I will continue to work out in the mornings when I still have ample glycogen.0 -

The 220 was in the evening after eating. 1 1/2 days later 210+ in the morning.0 -
I've never weighed after eating, that would be too scary to see

carbs are water sponges. you've been low carb and that is why you haven't seen it. I went low carb friday and by sat it was back to normal. It did concern me a little but I know we can't put on fat that fast and i was expecting it to come off but I was afraid of a residual lb or two. So leason learned for people is don't freak if you see something like that. Evaluate and you will probably see you ate a lot of carbs. Trust it will come off soon if you stop pounding the carbs. Don't go on a depressive bing or something like that.3

so in reality, at the end of it, you experienced a loss?0

ahhh misunderstood! sorry!
so let me rephrase , you ate all that and didn't gain because of your good choices afterwards 0 -

yep, also, a point to be learned i think is that a one day splurge will not result in a lot of fat gain, you may get a lot of weight gain, but it isn't fat. I think the body is limited as to how fast it can store fat. Because of this, I will allow some splurges on special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc cause it won't cause much harm. You may miss out on a couple of days of opportunity to lose weight. Multiple cheat days will lay down the fat though.1 -
Been sick with very bad sinus infection since last thurs. Haven't been able to do anything exercise-wise. Got some antibiotics yesterday and am starting to feel little better. Been good with omad though and have lost a lb in spite of not being active.1

Down another lb this morning for a -2 for the week so far. I've been going low carb last few days and I think it makes a difference. I think when I'm in maintenance mode, I will eat mostly LC or zero Carb breakfasts and lunches to stay off the sugar roller coaster and then will allow some after dinner. I'm only trying to restrict sugar and white flour stuff (not 100% but very little). I'm still eating all vegetables, fruit,milk, and whole grain bread at dinner.1

Well today I was supposed to run the first of a 5k series (8 of them at one a week) today but didn't cause I haven't run for two weeks due to injury and illness. To top it off I'm having a little gout in my left big toe and some in my left calf. I skipped the race and went home and decided, I'm going to try to run anyway!. I hobbled to a grass park close by and did 2x1/2-mile with a 1/2-mile walk in-between and actually felt good. Wasn't hacking or coughing and also my leg didn't hurt and I didn't feel my feet (until after I was done). Was happy I went. Sometimes you just have to bust through stuff. Sometimes it will break you though if you try. I had to try today and it turned out good.2
