I’m ready March! Has anyone ever tried Intermittent Fasting? I’m giving it a try this week. I’m doing the 16:8 where I eat within an 8 hour period and the rest of the 16 hrs a day I don’t eat anything. Just water, tea, or coffee. What I like about it, is it doesn’t restrict ever you eat within the 8 hours but first advise you eat sensibly. I figured why not give it a try. Started yesterday and it wasn’t bad at all.4 -
Good Morning Everyone! I finally got a nice morning walk in, 40 minutes. It has been 3-4 weeks since my bursitis flare-up, and the only cure is rest, ice and time. I really needed this, I have been in such a slump... looked back at my weigh-ins, I have just been bouncing around the same numbers since November!
Confession time... I have not been logging everything, when I get to me calorie limit, I just quit logging.
I need to stay accountable and log "everything".
Moving forward, my mini-goal for the next 6 days (until next weight-in), daily walks, even if I can only squeeze in 10-15 mins, no sweets after dinner, limit alcohol, log everything (even if I go over), check in here daily. As they say, "One day at a Time". 6 -

Hi All,
I just got my blood test results from the cardiologist - not great!! I have to start eating more whole grains and fruits and veggies and cut out white foods and fats.
I have been dieting all my life and honestly I cringe when foods become "off limit"! I think that I eat fairly well but apparently not well enough!
So, I will be trying to do better. Repeat blood test in three months and if my numbers do not improve I will have to go on medicine.
Feeling very depressed

I do a version of this! I eat only between 6AM and 6PM. I feel SO MUCH BETTER when I am consistent with this--sometimes weekends, we eat out or have friends over and it changes a bit, but otherwise...it's great!2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 30 minute walk

I had a good day today tracking food and exercising did 50 minutes of strength training. Tracked my food and stayed within my calories. Downfall is that I am sitting here really hungry and trying to drink lots of water to curb the grumbling. Uugh1

Been absent for a week. Really rough time. Feeling ill and disconnected for most of the week. Had not been out for a walk for a week. Just barely getting by.
Weight results show the lack of capacity to eat and the feeling ill. Hopefully I can get back into the walking. I feel so much better when I walk.

I also got my blood tests today and my cholesterol is high. I have to curtail my diet to try to lower my cholesterol also or may have to go on medication. Will have to concentrate on healthy fats like nuts, olive oil, avocados.1 -

Actually have a small problem with this and it depends on what the results of the blood tests are.
There are 3 types of cholesterol LDL, HDL and Triglycerides.
LDL is the "bad" cholesterol (in general)
HDL is the "good" cholesterol (in general)
Triglycerides are "free fats"
If you have a low HDL, and a high LDL cholesterol count then the triglycerides can create fatty deposits on the artery walls raising the risk of heart disease.
If you have a high HDL and a moderate or low LDL then this lowers the chance of heart disease.
Pretty much all natural fats, except trans fats, raise HDL more than LDL. You want more HDL.
Trans fats are usually from oils cooked at high temperatures (particularly vegetable oils) - eg. food fried in oil. Trans fats affect the body's ability to regulate HDL and LDL cholesterol.
Whole grains, fruits (not fruit juice) and vegetables are good. Natural fats are also good.
(Whole grains does not mean whole grain bread )
The "white foods" are considered to be processed foods rice, flour, pasta, cereals, sugar, etc... These should be limited in a diet, but not completely off limits. The white foods also tend to be very calorie dense and not highly satiating. If counting calories you would tend to avoid these anyway.
"White foods" DO NOT include: fish, chicken, pork, eggs, dairy, nuts, cauliflower, etc.. Whole, largely unprocessed food that happens to be white should be fine.
Hope this all makes sense.2 -
