    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
