    @UTMom81 I need to dig out my Leslie Sansone TAPE! I hope the VCR still works!

    @acrylicfox I suggest listening to Eric Westman, MD for Duke University and Jason Fung, MD a nephrologist from Canada regarding low carb/keto. An easy read is Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Westman and another interesting book is Life in the Fasting Lane by Dr. Fung and two ladies, one a psychologist (I think) and the other a client. This book might also be of interest to anyone doing CICO.

    @SModa61 When we lived in the land of perpetual clouds a decade ago, southern Illinois, my doc put me on high dose of Vit D, once a week for 13 weeks. I loved his explanation. He said it’s like having an empty gas tank. You have to fill it up and then it is easier to keep it topped off. My doctor here (LasVegas) said my level was too high the last time and told me to stop taking Calcium with D. Because of COVID, I cut back but did not stop. I’m hardly ever out in our abundant sunshine so I’m curious to see my labs which will be drawn in late March.

    I don’t know how long you’ve been under eating by 1000 calories a day but you might look up some articles on why CICO (calories in calories out) doesn’t work.

    {Round 137-209.8 EW}Jan 11 2021
    {Round 138- 209.5 EW}Jan 21 2021

    {Day/Weight/Comment}

    Day1▪︎Fr•1/22-209.5 (Th/21-1pm, 4:30pm, 10pm~16hrs) 64g carbs.🚫*did not dry fast* It was not the day for it. LATER, (too late) I ate one of the jumbo blueberry flax wheat bran muffins that I made for my son (he's been dropping hints for a week, lol) and husband. It was worth the calories and the carbs.

    Day2▪︎Sa•1/23- DNW (Fr/22- 4:30pm, 6:30pm~18.5hrs) 65g carbs.Another bran flax muffin, another high carb day. Experiencing some TMI (unusual for me), the reason for eating muffin, but stewed prunes work much better for me. 🚫no more muffins

    Day3▪︎Su•1/24- DNW (Sa/23- 3pm, 4:30pm~20hrs) 22g carbs. Well yes I did eat another muffin. I was hungry this morning. Today we celebrated our 1st Grandson's Bday. The muffin kept me full all day and safe from wanting somethng even more carb and calorie laden. I'm good.

    Day4▪︎Mo•1/25- 209.8 (Su/24- 11:30am, 6:30pm, 8:30pm~19hrs) 53g carbs. Not so bad. I'll take it after a few high carb days, because I have to, right? 😏

    Day5▪︎Tu•1/26- (Mo/25- 1pm, 7:30pm~16.5hrs) 19g carbs.

    Day6▪︎We•1/27- 209.8 (Tu/26- 1pm, 7pm~17.5hrs) 35g carbs.

    Day7▪︎Th•1/28- DNW (We/27-12:30pm, 5pm~17.5hrs) 30g carbs. 24hr water fast 6pm Wed--->Thur 6pm

    ✔Day8▪︎Fr•1/29- DNW (Th/28- 5pm, 7pm~23hrs-OMAD) 17g carbs. 24hr water fast became 23hr water fast, 7 waking hrs of it was dry. I don't do longer fasts when I have to be out for most of the day and that is what happened. Just could not make the last hour without a hot drink or food.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    1/23 118.0 Sam’s Town, Angry Butcher
    1/24 119.0 Meeting DGD and her BF for lunch at a Mexican restaurant. AF
    1/25 119.0 I know I was short on water yesterday and ate a tortilla. AF
    1/26 118.0 Lunch with neighbors today then planning to fast until Thursday. Cold, windy, rainy - snow on the west side of the valley. AF
    1/27 117.5 Yesterday’s lunch was less than satisfying and I ate about 2 oz of almonds between 4 and 4:30pm. Fasting has begun. AF
    1/28 117.0 Fasting until 4:30 today. Making keto dessert to take to quilt guild online meeting tonight-getting together with my baby girl and 2 friends. 4g total carbs AF
    1/29 117.0 Lun-ner out with friends today

    Sorry for giving so much (not asked for) advice. I love research and I love my WOE. Our doctor told my husband that keto/low carb is stressful to the body so he doesn’t approve. I’ve spent the last month looking for ANY documentation that his statement is correct so have read lots of articles and medical papers. I love ❤️ you all and read every post every day.

    @GrandmaJackie Thank you for posting the link to 140!

    @UTMom81 @GrandmaJackie Thank you for the clarification. I agree, the camaraderie is inspiring and love how we are so supportive of one another, really helps on those challenging days. I love freedom of choice and respect whatever lifestyle that everyone chooses for themselves. I am not following a Keto plan and did not want to upset the applecart if that was the goal on this thread. Thank you both for your efforts and wishing each of us all the best on this journey!

    @cpanus, SMH. That is so peculiar! It must be random selection. I have kept track of my daily water consumption for 3 years, on another thread. Its nothing but numbers and that has never happened to me.
