The weight has been creeping up each day since ending my fast. TOM started last night which explains why I had been craving and eating a bunch of carbs the past few days. I am not going to weigh myself again until TOM is over.

I don't blame you one bit....TOM can add a lot for sure!!!0

Good call - no point in stressing yourself out for no reason!!! It's just bloat

The hubby and I are going on an impromptu vacation to...Orlando, Florida. The hubby said he needed a break so off we go for a week. We will be traveling with two other couples. He says this is a relaxing vacation so I don't know what we will be doing. I plan to stay on track as far as my eating goes.

Good Morning, I hope everyone is waking up to a most blessed Thursday. I just wanted to share I have come up with a new strategy with an OMAD IF 16/8 twist. I will be having one solid meal per day while also having my fatted coffee and chocolate kale shake within an 8 hour window. The plan looks like this and is now reflected in my food diary.
12pm coffee
3pm chocolate kale shake
between 4:30 & 8pm meal & dessert
back to fasting window at 8pm.

Happy Friday everyone,
Today's weight 167.1 pounds. I am not too upset with that weight because I got on the scale on Tuesday and it slapped me in the face with a weight of 172.5 pounds, so 167.1 pounds, I'll gladly take and run with.

Well, what I've been waiting for finally arrived. I purchased a Geno Palate Eat for your Genes Nutrition Profile and I got my results this morning. According to my genetic makeup, I should NOT be doing Keto. My report came back in regards to my macros as following:
Moderately High Total Carbohydrates (50% - 57% of my daily calories)
Moderately Low Total Fat (24% - 31% of my daily calories)
Moderately High Protein (20% to 25% of my daily calories)
As a result of this report, I changed my macros in MFP to 50% (150g) carbs, 28% (38) Fats, and 22% (65g) Protein)
Some of the other recommendations worth noting:
High Fiber
Moderate Sugar
High Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Moderate Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Likely Sensitive to Lactose
Not likely sensitive to gluten
Fast Caffeine Metabolizer
Low-Moderate Sodium
It also gave me some recommended foods to eat that match my genetic-based nutrition recommendations.
Majority of the fruit that was recommended are fruits that I do not like or have never even tried. (persimmon was on my list, I know it was discussed in someone's thread a bit back, I may just have to try them out now).
Various variety of greens were recommended for leafy vegetables of which I have no problem with.
In regards to meat, my genes thrive of the good stuff (pork baby back ribs, veal, Top and bottom round steak, pork shoulder, and porter house steak).
The seafood recommendations were not too bad.
Under breads, bagels were on the top of the list (3 kinds behind potato bread) whole wheat Naan and tapioca bread which I will have to research.
Peas and potatoes (sweet and russet) topped my list for starches and grains.
The recommendations for pasta included whole grain and whole wheat noodles, corn and quinoa pasta and corn pasta.
Sorry this was so long, I just wanted to share. I believe I will be changing my plan and cutting out the coffee since it turns out I don't need all of the fat.
Have a great weekend, I'll be off to Florida tomorrow if we don't get snowed in.0 -
That sounds so cool Tracey---had no clue anything like that existed, but it sounds very interesting for sure! Looking forward to all of your upcoming success ---your weight drop was amazing today too
Enjoy FL hoping you don't get snowed in

I was just thinking to myself; self, why are you making things to be more difficult than they have to be. Just go back to OMAD and eat your one meal and be done. You did it before, just do what you know to do.
I am going to do mindful eating while in Florida and get back to true OMAD when I get back.
I have to change my mantra to I only consume calories during my one meal. I have been tricking myself into thinking I am still doing OMAD if I only eat one solid meal, but in all actuality my coffee and chocolate kale shake were meals. I will go back to having my chocolate kale shake with my meal and just ditch the coffee all together unless I can manage to get myself to drink it black (YUK).

Yeahhhhhhhhhh calories are calories even if we don't think of them as a "meal" - and it's easy to talk ourselves into it...I've really found the OMAD part of it the easiest UNLESS I get out of the habit, then it's really tough - but as long as I stick to OMAD even on my cheat days, it's EASY PEEZY!!!0 -
Exactly, Basic OMAD it is!!!

Yes, KISS and you will get there😘0

The first day of my Florida Vacation and I definitely overdid it on the food yesterday. Will not be making that a trend for this vacation though. I am going to hold off on eating as long as I can. No appetizers, just my main meal when we go out.
I have no scale so I won't be able to weigh until I return home on Saturday. I don't want to have to pass out or throw my scale out the window so I have to keep things under control here.0 -
Day 2 in Florida. Still not there yet. Still over eating. I had 2 meals but both meals were over 1500 calories. So not good. I can honestly say. I ate enough calories to gain a pound. I must and will do better the remaining of this trip. Tomorrow’s post will be a post of victory. Not beating myself up, just vowing to do better.0

Awesome!0

Enjoy your holidays, my dear Don't beat yourself up We can always get back on to the wagon Have a wonderful time with your DH and friends 0

Enjoy your time away and don't be too hard on yourself. You know how to get to your goal and you WILL get there.
I think we all have had the tendency to make things more complicated when just basic OMAD is all we need ---but the brain sometimes wants to over think it ---I totally have been there!!

1500 is still not too much.
I hope you have a great little vacation 0 -
Girl I feel you but it's so hard on vaca!!! I say if you're not taking vacas regularly, then just enjoy HOWEVER, if you're finding "vacations" regularly then it WILL mean all your work is for nothing, so assess and find your balance lovey 1

I hope you're enjoying your trip in Sunny Warm Florida!!! 0

Hello OMAD family, I am back from Florida and I wish I could say t was warm but unfortunately we only had one warm day, yesterday; all the other days were cold and windy. I will wait until tomorrow morning to weigh in. I am so ready to get back in the wagon. I just hope I haven’t gained too much.1
