Controlling Hunger Part I - A new blog post from IDM and Megan Ramos (Dr. Fung's partner and research scientist).

They have a lot of bariatric patients at IDM, but are not pro-WLS. So if you can look past their bias, this is a very informative and helpful article. Just like we suspected, "the less we eat, the less hunger we experience" and conversely, "the more we eat, the hungrier we get."

Ok, I caved last night. In my defense, we are currently undergoing The Tribulation tax prep time *sigh* *bigger sigh* *biggest sigh*.

And it's not that I ate crap, or ate a bunch of carbs...BUT, I did rip into meat and cheese (which stops the FMD diet cuz of the amino acids leucine and methionine which stop autophagy). And...there might have been a gin with grapefruit La Croix and a slice of lime.

My 3 day observation of FMD is that although it's a lot of volume (or can be), it's a lot of meal prep (washing, cutting, cooking), and I end up thinking about food WAY more than if I Water fast. So my plan is actually to go back to my water fasts and feasts and do that until my Resetters FB group start the May version of their 15 Day Metabolic Reset plan. It includes fasting for autophagy, FMD, and Ketobiotic fasting. Then you will see more FMD, but only 3 days of it. I think if you did Dr. Longo's Prolon kit, it would be much easier, cuz you just open a package and go--you're still not thinking of food very much.

With Dr. Mindy Pelz's 15DMR, it's a simplified FMD. So still not thinking about food so much.

In the end...it wasn't life that got in my way. It was my poor choices that influenced me. Still a work in progress. So. Far. From. Perfect.

Noooo. Not yet. No jinx's! My Goal #3 is to be 130lbs. Only then can I try to scale Mt. Kilomanjaro for the Barbie Dream Girl Weight Win of 125lbs. That may take another 6 months at this pace. Bahahahaha!

Please make sure you are healed and your cardiac surgeon approves you doing this hon!!! It's so soon after surgery. My surgeons after recon would not let me even restrict for the first 2 months...let alone fast. But I know in 2 weeks you will be doing great with the way you are going on your LC/Keto!!! You will be smashing!!

So I'm 155 again... IDK whatever. I see now why maintenance is a hot mess. I literally was at Olive Garden having Soup salad and bread sticks followed by Halo Top this weekend / week expecting to be up and stay up. Nope I came down.

Oh and had dumping from watermelon in front of my new bf & scared the 💩 out of him. Watermelon is now on the no fly list. Honestly im going to really strip back my diet again anyway.

It is suspiciously odd that if I eat some bread I tend to drop a little weight...

This has happened a few times now

Aw man! So sorry to hear about the dumping -- but I'm so excited Boo is still on Fantasy Island after having witnessed it. You might have been tempted to take him out so there'd be no witnesses! ((hugs)) Damn on the watermelon though. That's a tragedy.

And if you AND @sillykitty prove the advice of "when stalled, eat more," I'm gonna have to stab my eyes out with a dull toothpick. Cuz that would suck so bad that it doesn't work round heah. #fuckme But on a brighter note, I'm so happy you are back at 155 after a round of super eating at Olive Garden!!! Wahhhhooooo. Did you eat massive amounts? Or only a little bit?

I really worked the unlimited salad bit. I only had maybe a 1.5 bread sticks. The four baskets... That was all for him. Hehehe. And we split the Soup and entree of eggplant. So not crazy but i definitely didn't feel like I held back. And I guess Halo Top isn't exactly breaking anyone's diet 😅

But maybe my body teally is trying to maintain around 155...

I can TOTALLY live with that 💜
