Dry fasting over night is probably ok. Maybe 18/6. But. Water is needed to help break down fat. It’s very important. If you end up super hungry something isn’t ready to fast. Maybe cut back fasting time. First time I IFd itset me up to binge. I finally got my body/hormones straightened out then was able to do up to 72. Any…

I takes hot bath. Do yoga or Edmonds White stretches ride my horses clean crafts etc.

So I am a bit late to the challenge so it will run from May 16 - August 16 which actually works really well for me! I will shoot for 20 lbs in that time which puts me within 1 of my goal weight. I need a bit more accountability it seems this summer so I am looking forward to it! Start date : May 16 End date: August 16…

this week I have been working on when prompted by getting up I do my essentrics workout immediately and then I reward myself with a cup of coffee or tea - this week tea :-) today is Thursday and I have been doing this for 5 months now. It is very successful for me - today I had to change it as I pulled a muscle but I did…

I really like these! I have been focusing on other areas of my life not just weightloss so it is nice to see gratitude and sitting less there!!

if you do eat eggs and dairy adding some of those options help - Otherwise beans, tofu, what others have said - are their replacement bars for vegetarians that have a solid protein count? I know premier protein drink has 30 grams and its not that bad

No its not an option - I just count carbs and try to eat them from veg

make sure you are getting protein to build muscle and that you are getting enough to heal - your body needs calories to rebuild. And sorry you learned the hard way but I think we all do - yup overdoing it will set you back - just focus on maintenance calories and PT for now -

half and half with toriani syryp - right now a chocolate and raspberry mix - I am only having it on the weekends or when I need a major pick me up - google recipes low carb - it will give you ideas for homemade vanilla and also peppermint mocha for the holiday ;-)

roast beef with grilled peppers and onions and cougar crimson fire cheese - minus the bread a modified philly cheesesteak yum and oh so healthy!

My new years in August resolutions for this wee 1. Follow my carb cycling plan this week 2. meditate 5 minutes a day 3. HIIT for 20 minutes on MT and F (best macro days for HIIT) 4. 100 g protein a day 5. Do Esmonde-White for 20 minutes first thing in am and add in a plank just for fun!

Sounds like a good plan - I pretty much eat this way anyway probably 90% of the time - Happy to provide support . Is there a 100 days of real food group? You might check that too for accountability ;-)

I have friends that do heavy keto and they say the bulletproof coffee is not considered breaking the fast. Me I water fast then break my meal with a healthy lunch or dinner depending on when I started (usually I break it with dinner). I'm more primal than keto though but the principles seem to be the same - don't just…

Good job! I like IF also - I do two days usually during the week 16:8 or sometimes 24 hr just depends on what my body wants

Nice looks like fun!!

Ive done several types - 16:8 a few days a week is good. Drink lots of water and get your protein and veg in :-)

So how do you feel? that is very low on calories - but - I get it this time of year it can be hard to eat in the heat. With your goal 1500 though 900 is too little. ask yourself - am I getting enough water to flush out the junk? how are your macros? Are you really keto? or does it just look like it Make sure you log every…

I just sautee up some shrimp in a table spoon of butter add garlic and red pepper flakes - sea salt and pepper. Reduce sauce to desired thickness - yummy!! Your shrimp sounds good too! I am hooked on chicken fajita salad right now - chicken breast cut into bits - sautee remove from pan put in bowl sprinkle with taco…

I really don't like boiled either - I like my veg al dente - roasted really brings out flavor - garlic and basil really change the taste - basil is surprisingly sweet - you can buy a tube at the store and just squirt a bit into your onion/pepper/potato dish for a change of taste.

I make double or quad recipes of - chicken Fajitas - use for filling or for salad Coconut chicken curry - portion out and freeze then bag - I freeze in a bowl then dump into a baggie or vac seal - use for soup or for dinner with rice jerky - just love homemade jerky portion it out with vac sealer or baggies your choice…

hi Mouse!! Sorry I stopped checking this group - any idea whats happened? Have you been riding this year? Just got back from a 9 hour trail ride :-)

I walk my butt off literally - go out and explore - check out the area - see the old houses watch how people interact - enjoy the farmers markets and small bakeries. I usually get in over 20K steps a day on vacation!! Sometimes I will work out in the am if I think I need to do some lifting and weights are available - but…

I really dislike it - It doesn't save me any time and the food is pretty tasteless - I do like it for making bone broth but the crockpot is just as good for us.

So far so good for me - BUT - I am traveling to a class with a bunch of like minded lady friends - Im pretty sure wine will be involved if not Margaritas. I am going to try to stay AF but....

You've got this Peter! Welcome back! You know how it all works this time - be sure to drink your water!

gimpybayou0 great job on losing weight! Are you adding the oil you cook in? or the broth? other liquids or things just added? Its amazing how they add up - so you might be eating more than you think. why don't you try eating a larger meal? I'm amazed your getting all your protein in - I'm supposed to eat 168g a day and I…

Just take a long walk - it will help ease the soreness

Yes - I find they really reduce discomfort from overuse - I am down 1 day instead of 4 - I add them to my smoothies when I need them
