Oct 19 ✅ Exercise: swimming 60 minutes ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass day used (Oct 12) I had not heard of B=MAP. Actually I had not thought much about prompts before. Perhaps I should think about what prompts I might add to my life.

@cory17 On the thread about what I am reading, I just posted a video which explains a lot about leaky gut and similar issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jy8j2FaKGY

@ladybug8882021 I am with you on the difficulty with the idea of a fecal transplant. However, this video talks about something I find as disgusting-- maybe more. Biofilms of fungi. They describe biofilms as things like plaque. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jy8j2FaKGY I did read one of the studies on this scientists…

Years ago, after regaining more than 75 pounds, I decided that that behavior was very irrational and I signed up for Dr. Gould´s ¨Shrink Yourself¨ program for emotional eaters. I had never really seen myself as an emotional eater, but I could not understand how I let that happen so decided I must be an emotional eater, and…

Oct 15 ✅ Exercise: 15 weight machines, 45 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass day used (Oct 12) NSV: I am starting to have a more regular sleep schedule and be a little less fatigue. For a couple of weeks, I have been doing 16:8 intermittent fasting as part of my attempt to manage my insulin resistance better. I…

I finished the books on fasting and now am starting on the book ¨Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease#and How to Fight It¨ after starting to watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfSJFPu50_A&ab_channel=DhruPurohit I think this is really, really important information about…

✅ Exercise: 60 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass day used (Oct 12) I am not expecting to change my plans much over the holidays this year, except that we may do some travelling in December. I do plan to keep tracking and to try to stay with the same basic habits. I am planning to buy a travel blender and avoid…

Recently I have been reading books about intermittent fasting. Just finished Dr. Joseph Mercola´s ¨Ketofast.¨ Now I am starting Andrew Aspry´s ¨Fast This Way.¨ I have also started using a Lumen to give me suggestions about my macros and this video was recommended to me by someone in their Facebook group who recommended…

Logging my expected food into MFP before I eat it keeps me thinking according to what I need to eat instead of whatever impulse I might have.

Oct 13 ✅ Exercise: 14 weight machines, 45 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 2 pass days left.

Oct 13 ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked I did not exercise. First pass day used. I found the website years ago but did not actively use it. I signed up again in July and only tracked for a few days before giving up. A couple of months or so ago I committed myself to get used to it and track, leaving my calorie budget high and telling…

The problem is that if you do not exercise and you consistently restrict calories, the usual thing that happens is that your metabolism slows down and it gets harder and harder. And if you are too consistent and frequent in your eating, even if the feedings are small, you are likely to become metabolically inflexible (your…

Oct 8 ✅ Exercise: 12 weight machines, 40 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked I tend to go weeks without weighing. For a long time, I have felt that ¨honesty pants¨ (a tight pair of pants used only for the purpose of seeing if I am getting smaller or larger) makes more sense. However, last night I finally ordered one of…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDqMB6C1uys Towards the end he goes into how the bacteria in your gut affect how difficult or easy it is to lose weight.

I have been using the Muniq shakes less than a month, so it will still be awhile before I get my A1C tested again. My daily blood sugars have all been within 96 and 131 since I bought a glucometer to test, so there is not a lot of data there either. Because my A1C was only 6.4, I would expect the changes I do see to be…

Oct 6th ✅ Exercise: 3 walks, 10-20 minutes each. ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked I definitely have a little rebel inside that does not respond well to ¨you have to.¨ I WANT to lose weight. I WANT to be healthy. At this moment I am happy and WANT to live longer. (Honestly just a few months ago I didn´t really want to live longer. I…

Oct 5 ✅ Exercise: 12 weight machines and 40 minutes of swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked With the exception of after knee surgery and during the pandemic getting exercise has never been my problem. I have spent a fair portion of my life overweight but fit because the problem has always been my eating. I have been successful in…

In my 20´s, I initially chose my goal weight based on BMI but a personal trainer convinced me to change it and remain at a higher weight that she said was healthier for me. Apparently, according to my wrist size, I actually am big boned. It took me awhile to accept that my bone structure was not going to allow me to be…

Oct 4 ✅ Exercise: 50 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked This was my first day to try intermittent fasting of more than 12 hours. I did a 16 hour fast. Because I am on the border of type 2 diabetes and taking Metformin, I took my glucometer to the YMCA when I went to swim, having never exercised fasting before. But it…

I did increase my elliptical time gradually, up until I hit 11 minutes. But I get so overheated. My plan was to do the elliptical first and then do weights, but the problem was I was so done in with the heat that I could not finish my weights workout. Weight lifting has a longer lasting effect on insulin sensitivity and…

So I decided I am also going to use this thread as a place where I can later find some of the better educational things I come across when I want to review them or tell others about them. (For example, I am hoping to eventually convince my husband to try fasting if it works well for me so that we might have a similar…
