Joining in a bit late but I did this challenge a few years ago and found it helpful in keeping a longer term view! Finally getting back to things after putting on 30 lbs during a few stressful months. :'( Got a long term goal and view on this and have stared IF to help regulate blood sugar issues and to make it a little…

Thanks to everyone for the insights! It's really helpful And @PAV8888 you are so right- i even had this experience myself years ago where I swore I was just a bigger framed person and then I lost a bunch of weight and ended up smaller than I would have thought possible. I guess I have a reference point of"fit" for myself…

That makes sense to me too. I have seen many posts that don't seem to account for underlying health issues or seem to imply that everyone's experience should be the same which doesn't make sense to me. I do wonder how many people realize they even have some insulin resistance - its not always accompanied by a diagnosis…

I think when on Keto the volume of food is sometimes much more than when doing CICO. Carbs are fairly calorie dense so when you cut those out and are eating lower carb veggies and protein, you end up feeling like you are eating way more. I remember during keto being shocked that at the end of the day, after eating what i…

@sijomial thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on things then. So far I’ve managed some long walks on my fast days and I’m going to slowly ramp up to more intense workouts over time. I think I will follow your pattern and do my workouts after at least some food. I’m actually surprised by how much food you can have for…

Hi OP I also just started ADF this week. I tried normal IF a few years ago (living out of country where I couldn't really know how my food was being made so it was an easier way of creating a deficit) and had great success. My work schedule changed and IF was no longer as convenient so I thought I would try out ADF…

I love BB programs personally. Which ones have you done already? Personally, I quite like 21 Day Fix real time. You can run through the program back to back and each time its really easy to see your progress. And I like that is only 3 weeks long because it keeps my attention. Good split on cardio, weight training and…

I just watched this happen with my mom. My mom is a natural skinny twig lady. She can eat ENDLESSLEY and seems to never gain weight. She's 5'8" and the MOST she's ever weighed was when she was 9 mos pregnant with me and was 145 lbs. She recently had to undergo spinal surgery for a benign tumor removal and they put her on…

I've been wanting to become a better runner FOREVER. I've tried Couch to 5K a number of times over the years (my last time was probably like 7 years ago). Yesterday I did my first run in a long time. And lets not joke; it was more like a VERY slow jog/walk combo. But I'm hoping to see improvements! I've got a (distanced…

Just a note for sweets; although I'm not a cakes and cookies person per se, I find that when I'm really craving something sweet this is my go to, low cal treat: Meringue nest (i get the PC ones and they are 50 cal each) fresh or frozen berries - about 1/4 cup - like 20 cal Cool Whip - 2 tbsp - 25 cal Sometimes I'll even do…

Thanks for the responses. So in answer, no it doesn't really matter at all - I'm not concerned or worried and the answer doesn't affect how I proceed with my health. Its truly just that I was mulling over this difference and was curious about how visceral fat works. Totally get that vanity sizing is a thing and that sizes…

Ok im joining back into this again. I keep losing weight, then I get thrown off track and gain it back, then I get focused and have to lose it all over again. Ugh.
