    @Mjbcoffee just wondering have you noticed a correlation between your diet and migraines? Just wondering if you get more when you have so few carbs? Or less with a 23:1 schedule?

    I'm eating a very high fat/low carb diet. I try to get around 1,000 cal in each day. My macros are 70% fat, 5% carbs, 25% protein. Actually, I go over on the carbs to 10% often. It's still melted the weight off.

    Why so low on the carbs?

    4/19 Goal-24 hrs. Fasted 24 hrs
    Weight 142.4. The last hr. of the fast was really tough! Dinner was ready and smelled so good! My husband is fasting with me so that really really helps me!
    4/20 Goal-24 hr Fasted 22 hrs
    * update: We didn't make the goal as we were so hungry. We are going to switch to a 23:1 OMAD schedule so we can eat at the same time every evening.
    Weight 142.6 Today I need to find more distractions toward the end!
    4/21 Goal-23:1 Fasted. 22 hrs
    Weight 142.2
    I'm thinking I'll do a longer fast later in the week. We'll see.
    4/22 Goal 23:1 - Fasted 22.5 hr.
    Weight 141.4
    4/23 Goal 23:1 - fasted 24 hr.
    Weight 141.6 I had a migraine and didn't post yesterday. I need to drink espresso 2 or maybe 3 cups during the day to fight migraines. I also take the Aimovig shot once a month. We went for a walk yesterday which was nice, but it ended in a migraine. Head still hurts this am. I'm wondering how the day will progress.

    @trinati2001 haven't noticed a correlation between the migraine and eating schedule. I'd say that eating low carb and more keto I have fewer migraines. Plus the shot has changed my life. So, when fasting I'm more often in the ketosis state which is good for migraines/seizures.
    @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good
    I eat low carb cuz carbs cause me to gain weight! If I eat low carbs/ high fat, then I can remain in a ketosis state and burn fat 24/7! Carbs also make me super hungry and then I have terrible cravings. I love bread and desserts so this is very hard. I've made some pumpkin muffins with almond flour that really help!

    They never were able to give me a reason why it happened they tested for meningitis, tumors and everything they could think of. I was in the hospital 2 times over the next 2 weeks with them and spent about 8 days in total and it lasted about a month. The only thing I can think that caused them was blood pressure. My blood pressure was higher during this period of bad pain 170's/90's and they put me on medication to lower it. My whole life up to the fist migraine I was as some would say to thin when I got married at 20 my weight was below 160 at 6 feet tall. My blood pressure always was high 130's over around 90 so it was not a weight issue that caused higher pressure. But I never stopped taking the pills and my pressure now runs around 130/84. Have not had one since not even a headache so if I had to guess it was over my blood pressure but who really knows that is my guess. My mother still gets migraines at almost 80 years of age and her blood pressure is fine so again it is only my guess that it was my blood pressure.

    4/27 Goal 18 HR - 20 Hrs. - Fasted - Weight 289


    My goal for the last day was 24 hour but with passing may goal weight for this month (290) I decided to stay at not more then 20 for tonight into tomorrow.

    I think this has worked for me because it showed me I don't have to keep food going all the time for 8 or more hours to feel satisfied. I think most of the time I eat because it is that time of the day so I did it hungry or not with of course added chips or something at night on some occasions. This was with no regards to what that is doing to my system as a whole. I should start to let my body tell me when it needs more and not the other way around.

    Thanks for starting this challenge I have never tried to fast everyday for this long I would just do 1 day for 20 to 27 hours then go back to my normal routines.

    I too have never fasted this consistently. I have found that even when the scale doesn't move, I still feeling better, have more energy, clothes are looser, and I understand hunger and cravings better. I also can see how much I snack at night! No More!
