This wasn't the case for me. I did non-keto OMAD (one meal a day) for a few months and my fasting window was 23/1. I ate a "balanced" diet including carbs and one reasonably portioned dessert every single day. I did not crave food the whole time. If I saw something I wanted to eat, I bought it, but ate it during my OMAD.

Daily Post - Wednesday Track: Mentally Calories: Under Exercise: Nope Ok, so Monday and Tuesday were a disaster food-wise. The stress of prepping for the party led me to stress eat and I decided that I would just be really crabby at my son's party if I tried to fast or keep it keto so I gave myself free reign. So I…

Daily Post: Sunday Track: Yes Calories: Yes - with 1 calorie to spare :D Exercise: Yes, 30 minute outdoor run Comments: Didn't get a long run in this weekend because I have to clean for my son's birthday party on Tuesday. When I don't do my long run...it makes me feel tired and lazy. The weather has been sooo grey here and…

Yes! You did say that! And I thought, "Who does this girl think she is? She doesn't know me or my growling nighttime belly." :D So I gritted my teeth but I knew you were right. I had to try. Sometimes we have to be uncomfortable for a while in order to meet our goals, and although the thought of not eating before bed…

It is a lot of trial and error. You need to find out what works for you and your needs. I eat a lot of foods that are not on the "keto list" If I post about it in general keto forums I get jumped on by the keto police. For example: I LOVE peanuts. So many people will say that peanuts are not keto but they are pretty much…

Sorry to hear about your aunt. How nice of you to help out. Hallmark movies are so cheesy. I love it. My husband and I watched our first Christmas movie on Netflix the day after Halloween. But our Netflix expired today so I think I'll settle in on the Hallmark channel for a while. Any particular movies that were cuter than…

Daily Post: Saturday Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 30 minute outdoor run Comments: I have to say, it started out as a pretty challenging week, but has ended up turning out pretty well. Once thing I'm discovering is that I am becoming better and better at fasting. NOT eating once caused me stress and panic (can…

My weight gain added years to me. I look way younger now than I did 6 or 7 years ago at my heaviest. I have a natural dark hollowness under my eyes, always have, but when I was heavier it just stood out. No amount of make-up could fix it. I was just plain unattractive. Recently I've had a few people comment that they…

You've been having such a rough time! Big hugs to you! I'm so happy your friend visited you. Friends really can make such a huge difference in how we're feeling and even give us a little boost towards recovering. I hope your insurance approval is swift and without any problems. And thanks so much for your kind words about…

Good job getting up early for that walk. It sounds so nice the way you described it. I need to start pulling up some HIIT workout videos. It's been so long since I've done them but I know they are awesome. Short and sweet. I love that sore feeling. Since my half marathon training is over I've gotten so lazy. I need to get…

I don't know the specifics of all that...but one thing is clear. You KILLED IT. Awesome job! And I will probably take you up on the offer of getting some advice for cycling. Right now I only run but I would like to try a mini triathlon in the future. I however have no idea how to get started with the biking. I have a…

OMG....you are so hardcore. That weight looks impossibly heavy. And Lita Ford and Ozzy! I love that song! Amazing job on the weight loss. Looks like your new diet adjustments are working out well for you. yay!

I'll take it! Yesterday my weight was 138.8 due to water retention, so I'll take it! I'm actually very surprised that my body dropped most of the water so quickly. Especially since my 1400 calorie dinner was only 3 hours before I went to bed last night.

Daily Post: Friday Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 25 minute run on treadmill Comments: First day of OMAD. I was going to wait until Monday but today's fasting went better than expected so I decided to skip lunch and have dinner with my husband. We had chicken tacos. I only had one shell though, mostly just a lot…

@o0kody0o Thanks! So are you! Your new profile pic is just amazing!! Wow!! Well done!"

Daily Post: Thursday Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Kinda. I tried. See comments Comments: So I have not started OMAD this week because I got my cycle and well, that is the worst time to make any drastic changes. Would be a set up for failure. I did do IF and eat lunch at work however, and even though I chose low carb…

I think I can. I was the 5th grade arm wrestling champ. I even beat the boy champ, which was a mistake because he was also my crush.

This. Plus, this post just generally made little to no sense.

Daily Post: Wednesday Track: Yes Calories: No, just over Exercise: Yes, 30 minutes running, 30 minutes walking Comments: I did end up trying to take a nap but my stomach was so questionable I simply couldn't. So here it is, Just past 7pm and I'm in bed, hoping I can fall asleep soon.

I drink it every way imaginable. All day, everyday. But after 2pm and it turns to decaf. Then it's usually just black or with a little milk.

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise 39 minute run, 17 minutes Zumba Abs Comments: It's Wednesday now. Tom, so tired and sleepy these past two days. Automatic weight gain, so fun. Bloated and fighting to keep my eyes open even though it's only 2:30pm. This happened to me yesterday too but I had errands to…

As far as I know, the only downside is if you don't drink enough water you can end up having issues. What these issues are, I don't know...sorry. I only starting taking psyllium regularly this past month and it's been great. How it benefits me: Altough I have never had a problem "going", when I do "go", it's like "going"…

Thanks for the tip. I think that will really help. I also discovered recently during my last fast that drinking pickle juice helps! I know alot of runners who drink pickle juice after a long run but I hadn't tried it because all the pickles I found here had added sugar. Well I decided to look in the international section…

I prefer to run early in the morning so waiting for the sun to come up was awful! I was so happy when the time change came but I HATE this early darkness. Why world, why? :D

Hi everyone! I'm Lisa, 42. I reached my initial goal weight of 143 this spring and went into maintenance over the summer to give my mind and skin a little chance to catch up to my weight loss. I started several years ago at my heaviest weight of 218. Once I decided to start losing again I joined this challenge and I have…

This gives me an idea! Instead of cutting the zucchini in slices, can you maybe shred it? When I've made zucchini bread I always shred the Z, put salt in it, let it sit, then squeeze out all the extra moisture with a cheese cloth or something similar. I know it's not exactly the same as a lasagna, but I think I'm going to…
