Microscope March
March 19th
Daily Weigh in - 175
Previous Nights Meal Included...
A really weird mesh of beans and corn. (See Picture)
Intake: Unknown
So my mother, bless her heart did her best to make a dinner out of my lacking pantry options. This is what we got. It didn't taste bad. It is the only thing I ate, it was so filling. I didn't even finish the bowl.
The scale hasn't moved. I do think it has something to do with with the backside of things. I haven't had a no. 2 since Saturday. Hopefully this bowl full of fiber will get the ball rolling.

That soup actually looks good... like a bean chili.
Sammy, do you drink coffee? I'm not a huge fan of it, but I've found that if I'm having trouble pooing, a hot cup or two of black coffee first thing in the morning does the trick for me!0 -
Oh @sunnycobayo I drink a lot of coffee. Normally about 4 cups, but can get up to 6 a day. Coffee usually does work, but not so much this week.1

I am in the same boat. Feel like I haven't had a complete poop in over a week.
But you're doing so well! I'm sure when your body balances things out you'll be at a loss.0 -
Yum! That soup looks amazing!!! I'm sure it will get things moving again, especially if you're drinking lots of water, too 0

Things are better, though not awesome in the bathroom department, but I am thoroughly pleased that the scale is moving again. I had a hankering for chocolate as you can tell. I will most likely be gearing up for my monthly so there is that.

I have been doing research into other forms of fasting, and I think for April I want to give something new a try. Keep in mind that all of this will still include OMAD. (As I would never deviate from that) We are quickly coming up to my 1 year OMAD anniversary (July). As Microscope March has been a wonder for me, I want to take a further look on the Calorie intake side of things. You know Experiment!
So Starting April first I will be incorporating a 4:3 approach within my OMAD.
Now this is only going to be based on Calorific intake the first month, so I am going to push the bar.
So I have done a basic "How many calories should I eat in a day to lose weight fast?" question in the google search. For my current height, weight, and age I should be only eating 1,076 calories a day to lose two pounds a day. Interesting.
Now that I have that number I can times it by days in the week (7 duh), giving me 7,532 calories intake for the whole week. Interesting.
So having 3 days a week fasting, which will 500 calories or less at my OMAD, will remove 1,500 calories from my weekly total. Giving be 6,032 calories for the remaining 4 days of the week. So roughly 1,508 calories per OMAD.
Fasting days will be: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday
Eating days will be: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
What I really want to see out of this experiment is whether my body reacts to the Calorie in/Calorie out Method. Or, If my fluctuations are purely food based.
Should be interesting. I plan on incorporate the Idea of Microscope March in as well on the daily updating, but we will see.

You can have something like an "Analyzing April".3

I know I shouldn't laugh, but this line killed me, Sammy--"Things are better, though not awesome in the bathroom department." Haha, you are a hoot, my friend. I hope your tummy is feeling okay at the moment!

WOW analytical April for sure! I love that and can't wait to see what your results are.
So on your fasting days, you will be eating a very small calorie amount 500 is that correct?
If the scale isn't my friend tomorrow, I am going to track my food intake like you have done for March in hopes of having some amazing results!!!

" I should be only eating 1,076 calories a day to lose two pounds a day"
Something is not right here, did you mean 2 pounds per week?

Yes! It has been so named "Analyzing April" !!! What a great suggestion!dkayingram wrote: »WOW analytical April for sure! I love that and can't wait to see what your results are.

Yes, so on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday my OMAD will be no more than 500 calories.0 -
I tried this once I got to maintenance but I hated the calorie counting so went right back to OMAD/Splurge days. I hope you have good results with this, Good luck 0
-
Oooh! I am interested in your results! Like Brenda, I hate calorie counting, but I think I may have to incorporate it or some extended fasts at some point.0

Thank you! Mexican is my favorite "food group" lol. I am all about the salsa. I am going to try to pass on the chips though, and get a fancy margarita instead!1
