IF filter feeding

Options
So, as recommended I've been doing my IF filter feeding (with the addition of rice) for a couple weeks now. I was doing a 16/8 schedule, but I switched to a 12/12 schedule because I stopped losing weight and figured I went into starvation mode and need to eat more. Now I'm gaining weight and can't figure out why! Suggestions?

    Just curious, what is filter feeding? Anyway you are gaining weight because you are eating more calories than you need to lose weight.
    This could be because some logging mistakes like not weighing your food or picking a food entry that is wrong or you could be overestimating calories in exercise.

    I can't pick food entries because with filter feeding, I get all my nutrients from the sun. Except for the rice. I guess the red rice could be messing with the calorie content of the sticky rice. I'll have to look into it.

    Well, if I were to do this accidentally I'd be fine as the weather has been utterly shite for the past two weeks and will be shite for another two at least. I might still better stop this... just in case I do.

    Filter faster. Do it at HIIT intensity. That will fire up your mitochondria and jumpstart your metabolism. LISS filtering does nothing, total waste of time.

    What time of the day are you going out into the sun? It's gotta be the UV content.

    Your filter may be clogged and needs to be cleaned or possibly replaced.

    OMG yes!!! You're right. I forgot to HIIT filter. Also agree that I must have been going out too early. HIIT filtering at 12:00 should make all the difference.

    Also check cloud covering because that matters too.

    I had some cognitive dissonance when I saw who posted this and the first sentence, but as soon as I saw "starvation mode" I figured it out and then kicked myself for not seeing it earlier :lol:

    Oh also DON'T use and SPF lotion. You'll reduce the effectiveness of UV exposure.

    I'd never. Way too toxic with all the chemicals.

    I order my miracle rice from Amazon but I do filter my sun through previously frozen (and sometimes never frozen, very occasionally even canned) vegetables! For chemicals, I use the golden arches especially when they have vanilla cones on sale. Should I give up now?

    As long as you use the arches as your pull-up bar, you're good (so pull up to the bar, and have a cone, eh?).

    For reps: One! Two! Three! Four! . . . .

    Don't forget to use the foot pads that remove toxins too. This will increase fat burn.
