the most reliable calculator I've found online is this: http://www.sevenmealsaday.com/pages/bodyfat.asp It's still just a calculator though, so calipers would probably be more reliable if done right:)

Time for some charts! I have also seen some inches disappear around my waist and more, and my calfs and face are visibly slimmer. I always see it first in my calfs for some reason, so I find it very encouraging^^ My daily weigh-ins in blue, ideal weight in red and goal range min and max in yellow and green:) first flat…

Thanks, @wsandy8512 :smiley:

This last month has been a struggle and I didn't have the energy to update here, but I'm still on OMAD and loosing weight:) After visiting with family over easter I had a big flare. After it died down I was still very reduced and bedridden for two weeks. I'm back to normal (1000-2000 steps a day without flaring). During…

I think that's a perfect show of support @leveejohn :joy: My posts will be back to gender neutral for the next month ;) I did my splurge day today and overdid it on carbs, man I seriously do not miss that feeling of constant craving and hunger that plummeting bloodsugar brings on! It was all yummy though, and I'm set and…

You are such an inspiration! Amazing job :smiley: What is your next goal?

Hi! My name is Andrea:) I started with my own discussion thread already but I didn't notice this one until now! I'm 29 and homebound with severe ME/CFS. I gained a lot of weight after I got sick, as I went from super active and fit to gradually becoming bed and housebound. When fit and strong I weighed about 65 kg, so I'm…

Wow, I'm so happy for you @KetoKaHee :smiley: My cycle is actually super regular and my period only 2-3 days with only mild cramps the first 24h and pretty much only water retention and a bit of moodiness 3-4 days in advance. I can usually tell it's coming when I start tearing up about my health issues, which I'm normally…

The good thing about water retention is the sudden massive weight loss when it goes :sweat_smile: makes me feel very accomplished, undeserved or not :joy:

This is so inspiring! :smiley:

Absolutely! I'm expecting mine tomorrow and I can feel the difference already. I had a cup of tea with coconut oil in it this morning and needed another one just now. That will probably hold me until dinner, but I might need another one before bed. On a normal day I don't need any at all, or at the most one cup. I will…

I love a good chart, even when it's brutally honest :p being aware of what is happening is a great start to doing something about it:)

Oh I love your graph! Actually I just love graphs in general :joy: but yours is inspiring as well! Well done!

PMS is on and I'm noticing increasing hunger levels and a bit of water retention. Both are too be expected:) Coconut oil in my tea deals with the hunger and the water weight will disappear in a few days :smiley: I weigh myself every day because I love the data and to play around with it. I'm doing graphs for both daily…

Try a bit of coconut oil in tea or coffee as an appetite suppressant, it has calories but 100% from fat so it won't really spike your insulin and it is super effective. Butter is a good alternative if you prefer. Also, I would be careful with too much gum as the sweeteners used can spike insulin even if they don't contain…

Great job! Looks like you're doing a lot of great things for your health :smiley:

Thanks! Yep, I drink lots of water :smiley:

Great start! Looks like you're really getting into it :smiley:

You are doing great so far! Keep it up :)

Thanks! I have noticed since starting OMAD that my tolerance for caffeine is lower. One cup gives me the same result as two before. I am managing sleepless nights with small portions of carbs with my dinner, that seems to be doing the trick. My energy levels are up, but it seems to be mostly higher cortisol levels. That…
