Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability



Recommended Posts

Okay--I'm on board because I need an intervention! So if I do 16:8, if I'm correct, I'm eating all of my nutrition and meeting my nutrition goals in that 8 hour period. For example: Eating hours 6am to 2pm. And then the rest of the time up until the following day at 6am I'm drinking Water (with flavor allowed) and tea. Yes? This seems like a good beginner plan to start off with. And I think not eating dinner will basically suck monkey....yaknow....at first...but I'm a morning person and most of my work is in the morning so I need my brain functioning best during those hours :P

I will say I read this thread in it's entirety and learned a HECK TON. And I'm so proud of all of your successes!

Sounds like you have the basics! Plus the added hydration benefits (if you choose to go above 64oz) will move things around too. I've seen it personally.

@redhead_che

Welcome!!!! Welcome! So happy to see you here and really hope you like it!!!

I hope our other IFing friends will be here soon to give you great info/advice! I think 16:8 is a great place to start! Not eating dinner at first will suck like nobody's beeswax. LOL!!! ((hugs)) But you can do it!!! Especially if you have hot coffee/hot tea that sort of thing. And if you had to, a little clear broth (bone or otherwise). And the good news? After the few 2-3 days it DOES get easier as your body starts to fall into a pattern with the insulin!!!

We're proud of you too! You look gorgeous and your loss is so inspiring girl!!!!

Thank you! Once the initial suck wears off I'm sure I'll be on here for advice on how to shake things up and such! And i'll keep getting ideas and keep reading in the meantime from all of you that have been doing this for a bit!

❤❤It's November my loves!❤❤

Let's take it up a notch & get slightly stricter (in any one area of your choice) to see if anything changes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am going to exercise more despite pop up issues because Summer bodies are made in the Winter (but no one ever tells you how 😥

Today is day 1 for me. My eating hours are 6a-2p. I’m actually excited. Slightly terrified about eating “dinner” at 1:45 but my mornings need all the brain power so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good luck today! You can do it!!! Remember the next couple days are the hardest, then it gets easier and easier. And Water load if you get hungry! Or hot tea or coffee work great too!!! You are gonna lose like a big dog stopping eating at 2pm!!! Girl?!!!!! You got it!

I did a 25 hour IF yesterday. Was pretty easy peasy. But now I woke up and am STARVIN' MARVIN! LOL. Trying to fight my need for feed. Am about to go exercise. The scale is such a bi*ch! It's holding firm at 152.4lbs. GAH! LOL.

Oh well, nothing special to report here. No pics of Italian food (I bet they just call it food in Italy) taken in Italy. Made a turkey burger (bunless) last night. OH mama was it tasty! Oh and I figured out how our gas convection oven works and roasted broccoli and zucchini that were nearing their sell-by date. So. so. good.

Today I'm trying for a 16:8. I will eat fully, cuz this is a big exercise day and will try to meet my Protein goal of 74g. Yesterday was pretty low, cuz I did OMAD + some PP in coffee. I'm pretty sure given the present level of hunger this will require wicked feats of strength. LOL.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
