You see this is really interesting as without breakfast I don’t seem to get the mid morning crash. In fact I feel more focused. I do get a little light headed around lunchtime though but that’s when I eat. We are all different. I woke this am (after only a few hours sleep) ravenous and let myself eat way too much. I think…

I wonder if there are any Recommended support groups for IF?

:D I would probably vomit if I really bit into a live non chocolate caterpillar! I was thinking the size and thickness of the chocolate was quite a lot...

:D

Hollow or filled?

Thanks for sharing, I am very similar. I can keep snacking on carbs quite happily all day long. I must remember to add protein!

Fantastic, well done. Thank you for sharing, so useful to see your plan.

"It was hard to give up breakfast the first two weeks after I started IF but then it got super-mega-uber easy. My whole life I woke up ravenously hungry and the main thing on my mind was foodal acquisition. Now I wake up with NO repeat NADA appetite, no interest in food whatsoever. My stomach juices start flowing around…

This is so helpful thank you!

Thanks Paperpudding and happysquid. Kriss - It was meant to be a jokey thread headline - sometime irony is lost? It's about the size of a large chocolate bar I guess so 80g. It's a well known cake in the U.K...

Thanks novusdies. You’re quite right sustainability is where it’s at. Interesting you too don’t experience hunger with skipping breakfast. I can eat all day long if I let myself. The more I reflect I think intermittent fasting has been the only thing that has worked for me, I achieved it for 6 months without bingeing, or…

-Sorry for confusion. IF I meant as a reduction in kcal, so reducing to very low kcal on some days, not every day. Time restricted eating, in my situation, I meant just delaying meals, eating within a particular time frame and trying to avoid eating all day. Like you, I have found this had worked well when going out to…

Respectively disagree. I can see this may be interpreted this way as I only questioned how to burn it off. I knew I was eating a takeaway later and going for out for afternoon coffee with friends. It’s about balance, and I overate as very hungry this am. I can see it as fine line but when you know you will be eating over…

Thank you 😀😀😀😀!

1 wrap I have just found 182 kcal can you believe that!!!

Thanks - I’m trying to suss the Mfp food log.... hmm choc rolls 112 each and protein bar 250 pint skimmed milk 200 dipper 102 egg sandwich and wrap were eaten out..

I want to brin it off because it’s only lunchtime am sour for a meal this eve- so I think overeaten!

Hi tun believer - I think I needed some carb for the amount of excercise I had been doing but the flood gates opened I felt I could eat a house! Probably there’s a compromise in there somewhere.

Thanks for replying qweck. Yes I’ve been running and had a few carbs so not sure if that has caused my appetite to Rev up. I stupidly ate some carbs after (but justified it in my mind as a long run) but I’ve definitely had a insatiable appetite. Might be tiredness too I guess.

It’s really challenging as I’m a bit of a people pleaser too and there is the healthy balanced diet which I know people on keto oppose (and I’m not sure suits me personally and will explain why...again sorry I’m a broken record!) but people are like rye bread, oats you can’t eat too much- but I can! Give me a bowl of…

So skipping breakfast is mainly because you’re not hungry in the morning rather than it have a suppressive effect

Slaying dragons- thank you for your thoughtful response - I shall research! Googled cbt in my local area but nothing!

I haven’t but will look thank you!

Thank you! I wasn’t clear was I. I suppose I meant (probably checking my math) do you calculate everything you eat. Ie this meal is so many kcal and then work out the carb fat and protein percentage? Of each meal (as that sounds like a bit of a challenge for every meal- well to em!). So I like your description thank you. I…

Can I be really stupid do you all calculate your total kcalories then the kcal coming from fat and work out as a percentage?

I’m just wondering if breakfast makes you more hungry during the day?

Is that because you’re having lighter sleep I wonder 🤔

Interesting guys - looking into the weighted blanket I can see my kids loving that! Fasting definitely causes insomnia for me too to be honest I haven’t given myself long enough on keto to know if this insomnia thing wears off..

Thanks guys / sorry to jump in. Interesting do you not feel light headed and dizzy?

Hi folks can I chip in- why do people do one meal a day? What are the benefits ?
