Odd that after mid month hitting my absolute lowest weight of my adult life, that I ended up rebounding a bit towards the end of the month to post a little gain. On the 11th and 12th I weighed in at 169 and change. Not sure why there was so much up and down this month but not too worried about it either.
It has been exactly 6 months for me in maintenance and on a carnivore diet.
It's also six months exactly since I ran my first 5K race, so yesterday I ran another 5K as a way to evaluate my progress over the winter.
On October 1st I ran it in 29m 36 sec.
Yesterday I ran it in 26m 52 sec
An improvement of 2 min 44 seconds and I am simply over the moon about that. It's practically 1 minute faster on my mile pace.
If you want to hear more details I put up a vlog regarding the race yesterday and which also looks at other details about my last six months.

Liked your video. Didn't see that when I read that before. Your blood pressure is really low, that is awesome how much you have changed!0 -
Thanks Bob. I'm doing well. I've done a little intermittent fasting over the past two weeks (fasted two days per week) and this morning hit a new all time adult low of 165 pounds.
Just wanted to move the needle down a bit before getting back into sustaining mode.
After not doing any fasting for the past seven months or so, I'm thinking going forward I might work in a couple fasting days per month just to keep things in check and to stay on the lean side of things.1 -
165, that's great Jim

wow, nice results! I am interested, it might be too far outside my comfort zone to give up all veggies, but I am thinking of adding more meat and fat to my diet. my other concern, is if it works so good that it becomes popular, it might be unsustainable for the planet. Though that might be offset by eating less food overall via IF or OMAD0

Wowy Jim!0

Thanks all, it was really no big thing. I just figured out that I need to stay in touch with the fasting side of things. Just to remind my body that it's not going to be a feast every day. A schedule of cycling between feasting and fasting has always been something that made sense to me.0

You're an inspiration for sure Jim!0

Used some intermittent fasting in April and consequently saw a loss for the month.
My goal for some time has been to ultimately maintain in the mid 160's so I'm getting close to that now after not making much progress for many months.1 -
nice work! congrats!0

When you say "intermittent fasting" are you talking about some longer fasts or just a different window than OMAD?0
-
I'm always doing OMAD, what I mean by IF is that I fasted a couple times per week for a few weeks.When you say "intermittent fasting" are you talking about some longer fasts or just a different window than OMAD?
Essentially I skipped eating on Tuesday and Thursday so it gave me a couple of 48 hour fasts during the week.
I'm just not into any longer fasting than that at this point. Skipping a day here and there isn't too hard though.

FYI at the end when I'm talking about how I can't stop because it's so simple I was talking about OMAD but they cut out the part where I said OMAD so it's sort of not clear what I was talking about.3 -

Been focusing a lot lately on slowing down when I eat, and I think it has had an effect.
I tend to eat too fast and over run my body's satiety signal.
Once I give enough time to digest it is often the case that I fill up sooner and eat less.2 -
I’m not sure if the rules let me answer on your thread, but I just wanted to say that yep. The slower I eat, the more I appreciate my food. The more I appreciate it, the less I seem to be able to eat

Thanks Karen.
Slowing down definitely increases the appreciation of the food, and that is a good thing.
