  • 05/31 - 204.00 (OMAD Day 65) 0g Carbs This is a little better than what I expected and still on target to take out the low of 203.60 tomorrow. I had planned on a full 40+ hour fast today but with the numbers looking as good as they are (-.60 overnight loss) I might just delay that for one more day. I have to travel about 5…
  • I outlined my full plan above :smile:
  • 05/30 - 204.60 (OMAD Day 64) *0g Carbs* This is about what I expected as now I am starting to attack and take out the low base of 203.60. From what I see historically the process is as follows: STEP 1: My progress downward stalls out at a round number (205 most recently) STEP 2: I am then able to break & hit a new low in a…
  • Well that may have just made my week :blush:
  • 05/29 - 205.00 (OMAD Day 63) *9g Carbs* I expected a little give back today but was hoping to stay in the 204's. No worries as I am sure I will be tomorrow after a "go to" meal today. I had a really nice experience yesterday at a new place we had not eaten at before. The waiter recommended the pan fried brussels sprouts in…
  • 05/28 - 203.60 (OMAD Day 62) *0g Carbs* 48 HOUR FAST NEW LOW! Wow just wow, so thankful for this overnight loss and the way in which I have gone about it. This is always at the forefront of my thoughts and daily plans which I believe is making all the difference for me. I am planning out each day before the other and have…
  • 05/27 - 205.00 (OMAD Day 61) *0g Carbs* Well I am surely thankful that I have locked in at this 205 number and not spiked up like I have done in the past. I have now gone 3 full OMAD days (23/1) without an extended fast. I decided the other night that I will forgo the 40+ hour fasts until such time I stall at a number. Now…
  • 05/26 - 205.00 (OMAD Day 60) *0g Carbs* NEW LOW! 40lbs Gone! What a glorious day today is. Not only did I hit my 60 day milestone on OMAD but I coupled that with a total weight lost (since entering into MyFitnessPal 3+ years ago) of 40 lbs. I am so happy and thankful for these results and the plan I've been executing. I…
  • 05/25 - 205.40 (OMAD Day 59) *36g Carbs* Very nice that I was able to hold my gains or in this case hold my losses, so thankful for that. The longer I can stay in a number like 205 the harder it will be for me to give that up later on, or so it seems. This is especially nice as I changed my eating window coming off the 42…
  • 05/24 - 205.40 (OMAD Day 58) *0g Carbs* NEW 3 YEAR LOW! Wow, so very grateful and appreciative of my new 3 year low this morning. I would have never thought this possible just less than 60 days ago. I honestly listened to little voice in my head that said whether you do this or not those 60 days are going to pass so why…
  • 05/23 - 207.00 (OMAD Day 57) *0g Carbs* First of all I am so thankful for the overnight loss. I am just .20 lbs away from my lowest weight heading into my 48 hour fast today. I really like the routine I have settled into now with a focus on "shaking things up" on a regular basis. What I am doing is taking one day and…
  • It was actually a pod cast. You can see it featured on the front page of http://www.fastingtalk.com/
  • 05/22 - 208.00 (OMAD Day 56) *45g Carbs* I had a very large meal yesterday of 1,800 calories. It was a nice meal to break the fast yesterday. As I review the trajectory of my chart you can see things are stalling a bit. I think the mixing in full fasting will help me overall I just need to keep my head down and pushing…
  • 05/21 - 206.80 (OMAD Day 55) *0g Carbs* 48 HOUR FAST + NEW LOW! First of all I want to say how appreciative I am for the overnight loss and how thankful I am for being able to find this way of life. Given the amount of calories I consumed the day before at the celebration dinner (almost 2,000), I decided to go ahead and…
  • 05/20 - 208.80 (OMAD Day 54) *45g Carbs* Hopefully the last celebration dinner for awhile. I kept it fairly keto passing up on some really tasty looking deserts but clearly too many calories. The beauty of this way of life is in the recovery from a less than ideal day. In other programs I have tried there really is no…
  • 05/19 - 207.20 (OMAD Day 53) *6g Carbs* NEW LOW! Thankful for the overnight loss. Sorry about the plate picture I dove into my Waffle House steak and eggs before I realized I forgot to take a picture of it. What is not pictured is a full (10) oz of T-Bone, (4) scrambled eggs with (2) slices of cheese and grilled onions and…
  • 05/18 - 207.80 (OMAD Day 52) *0g Carbs* 48 HOUR FAST As it turned out this week I ended up going with a FAST after 3 days of eating. I had toyed with that idea before but fell into it almost out of necessity to get myself back on track. As you can see it did the trick. I take from this that I should go ahead and just count…
  • 05/17 - 210.00 (OMAD Day 51) *5g Carbs* Yesterday was just a case of too much food. I made the mistake of cooking my steaks to replenish my frozen supply at a time I was eating. Therefore I ended up at around 1,500 calories on the day. Hard to believe that just this amount can cause such a jump but this is the way my body…
  • I would agree but then things like today happen. Oh well just part of the process I guess and to be expected when weighing every day as I do.
  • 05/16 - 209.20 (OMAD Day 50) *3g Carbs* I guess these unexplained spikes up are going to continue to sprinkle themselves in from time to time. By logging this over the past 50 days I have the advantage of historical data to show me that this is just part of the process and how best to get things back on track. In the past…
  • 05/15 - 208.00 (OMAD Day 49) *57g Carbs* I ticked up every so slightly after my Mother's Day meal. I honestly thought this came in a little light on the calories but as you can see it was quite a bit heavier on the carbs than I usually eat. I seem to do much better the closer I stay to zero carbs. I will really try to do…
  • 05/14 - 207.60 (OMAD Day 48) *0g Carbs* 48 HOUR FAST NEW LOW! I'm amazed at the results today. Every time I think I have things figured out I realize I don't. Usually I only see about .60 to .80 overnight loss as a result of my 48 hour fast (well technically I am weighing in at around the 40 hour mark) but this time a full…
  • 05/13 - 208.80 (OMAD Day 47) *0g Carbs* NEW LOW! I'm digging that huge overnight loss. I am so appreciative that my effort is paying off each and every day. I did not do anything different from the previous days so I can't really explain it. Just chalk another one off to the mystery of the human body. So today is my…
  • 05/12 - 209.60 (OMAD Day 46) *0g Carbs* NEW LOW! I am so thankful for the overnight loss. Seems this reduced calorie (1,100) intake is working like a charm. I will repeat this again today (last frozen bag of steak) and then on Saturday I will do my 48 hour fast. My energy level is very consistent through out the day but I…
  • 05/11 - 210.00 (OMAD Day 45) *0g Carbs* I'm very thankful that I am back moving down right back to that all important bar. My reduced meal yesterday of around 1,100 calories seemed to do the trick. I will repeat this same meal today and tomorrow and then follow that up with my weekly 48 hour fast on Saturday. That will…
  • 05/10 - 210.80 (OMAD Day 44) *20g Carbs* I'm going to go back to my classic 0 carb meal today of 6 oz of steak, 1/2 salmon filet, and 5 fried eggs today. I want to see if things pick back up when I get closer to no carbs. Its all about tweaks and adjustments along the way and never about the plan. The OMAD plan for me is…
  • 05/09 - 210.40 (OMAD Day 43) *15g Carbs* One of those unexplained spikes up along the way that just seem to be part of the journey. I am so thankful for the stored fat burning off my body like butter to a hot flame. The past couple days I have been closer to the top end of my 1,200-1,400 calorie range so today I will back…
  • 05/08 - 209.80 (OMAD Day 42) *15g Carbs* I'm so appreciative for the overnight loss. This is now the second day after the 48 hour fast and it seems the trend is that I will show a nice loss on this day as well. I will keep monitoring that in the future. I was able to eat during my window at 1:30 pm. I took my wife and son…
  • Hi, I bought this close to 2 years ago. There are newer better models out now. This was the first type that went to market. You can order them from http://www.ketonix.com. Just a note about the strips. After doing a lot of research I have found that after you are in deep ketosis (several weeks) your body does not excrete…
  • Thanks! I never even looked at that but I will certainly take it. The one day of 48 hour fast certainly helps.
