So I don't really want to talk about this except I do. Wednesday I weighed 135.6, and Thursday was hungry so I ate, Friday same thing, the thing is I have been experimenting with different foods this week and how they affect me, the downside is well the scale is responding, although telling me what I needed to know. It's not mathematically possible for me to have gained 5 lbs of fat in 48 hours based on the amount of food I actually ate, it's that my body is responding negatively and holding water to the foods I ate which is of course, showing up in the form of extra numbers on the scale I don't want to see. So the bottom line is that I learned what I needed to know by eliminating certain foods from my diet more than a month ago and then trying to reintroduce them and saw a negative impact both on the scale and on how I felt, which is exactly what I needed to know and of course, I have to live with these choices this week, but that's all it is, water weight and inflammation and next week I can get back to normal.
Know that feel. These two weeks don't go quite well and I kept on eating a lot of Snacks. I think the amount of them exceed all of the Snacks i have eaten These two months lol. And I gained back my weight...0 -

I was able to get down to 190.2 this week which was really exciting, but I was up a pound this morning. Maybe because I wasn't able to exercise over the weekend. I am still VERY ok with this loss.4 -

There's a part of my annoyed by that number. Saturday morning I was at 201! But my 6 year old daughter made (and decorated) a cake for us. So I had cake this weekend. And I don't regret it. And yes, I realize i could have said no. But (1) my 6 year old made it! and (2) I want to raise my kids with good eating habit - not seeing their mother on a diet, or learning to consider certain foods bad or off-limits - but learning to have treats in moderation.
And considering that I did have cake this weekend and I only managed to get 2 gym-sessions in last week, I am happy with a loss, even though 199.9 would have been awesome to see!

You CAN always say no but why should you always WANT to say no. I'm glad you enjoyed that cake woman...nothing wrong with a bit of cake! (For me it's eating the whole cake that proposes a problem 🤷♀️😂).0 -

If you don’t mind me asking? I deal with the same issue at times..
What foods did you eliminate and saw a negative impact after reintroducing back?
@Fitness327wk So I have been thinking a lot about your question and I'm a bit leery of sharing considering what I've done is a bit (a lot) extreme and I'm not sure that I can exactly recommend doing what I'm at this point, but if you look at it from that point of view, then it okay.
Beginning of June I went on an elimination diet or the carnivore diet where I was only eating beef and eggs and did that for 30 days. Before I went on the diet, I was having some extreme swings in body weight and strength issues, where some days I felt really strong and other days I just didn't.
Some points worth noting are that this IS an extreme. I only did this as a means to figure out what may have been causing my issues, I had every intention of reintroducing back ketogenic veggies like lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.
What I found is I actually feel better, look better and perform better on this diet. What's interesting is that there seems to be some evidence that based on your heritage, you may do better on a diet like this, and I fall into that category based on where my father's side of the family is from. What I really didn't expect was to see so many extreme results. And what really really surprised me (and this may be a bit of TMI for some of the audience, so...sorry in advance) was to have my FIRST PMS symptom free TOM. I literally had no symptoms, bloating, cramps, headaches, none of it. And I suffered A LOT prior to eating a ketogenic diet, so extreme there, some days couldn't even get out of bed, but on Keto I felt a lot better, had very few days where I couldn't get out of bed, fewer headaches, and a lot less bloating, but on Carnivore, I had ZERO of those symptoms, and I didn't even realize it until day 4 of my period, didn't miss those symptoms lol. I swear that if that's a trend that continues, I will probably not eat carbs again, because I have never felt so free!
But the thing is, I was really interested in the diet from an elimination diet standpoint because I wanted to eventually start reintroducing back in low carb veggies to see if that was what was causing it or something else. So I ate broccoli on Thursday and the reaction was huge. Instantly bloated, Friday I had NO strength for my weightlifting and on Saturday I was still up 5 lbs. The reaction was severe, and I've decided to go back to Carnivore.
I would like to mention again, I am by no means suggesting everyone go Carnivore...that's an extreme and a decision that actually took me several months to come to. But ultimately, may be the way I eat from now on, not 100% sure what I'm going to do in the future and on a side note, I know what a lot of people will say about the diet itself, not being healthy and all, but it really is. It's all grass fed, grass finished, sustainably raised meat I eat from a local farmer (and family friend--I can actually meet my cow--not that I think I could do that and still eat it, just saying), and I've had my blood work done to make sure I'm good, and I've never been healthier! Going to keep heading in this direction as I am really seeing a loooot of benefits out of it, and one last time I will mention I don't necessarily recommend doing what I'm doing, it is an extreme and I am doing it for my own health.2 -
