Hey y'all! Anyone and everyone is welcome to jump in and join us.

This is the Intermittent Fasting DAily Menu/Results/Accountability Thread. It's where a few of us (or many) are going to log in and encourage each other while we experiment with our own IF plans. You can list or talk about anything--not just your food. I look forward to adding in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and core exercises to my walking plan while practicing IF. So expect to hear about that too. hehe I expect some of us will talk about the known IF side-effects like insomnia, circadian rhythm disturbance, etc. It's all good! Let's hack this IF mofo! mkay?

There is not any 1 specific IF plan--there are so many to choose from, so this is a BYOIFP (bring-your-own-IF-plan) and join the fun! This is the thread where we'll post our daily menus and maybe some piccys at times! We can discuss progress, issues we might notice, look at how we may want to refine our own personal plans. I do think you should be healed from surgery and have your doctor's and RD's blessings to try something like this and you should do a ton of research and reading about Intermittent Fasting.

IF isn't only about weight loss, it's about taking specific measures to limit either quantities, calories, macros, or sometimes only consciously altering eating windows/schedules in order to effect metabolic change and reduce inflammation and improve health markers.

Ok, let's do this thang!!!

Ok ... question about the fb group.... can anyone see if I'm a member? Like my fb friends, or non friends?

So I wish I could answer that definitively? Cuz I STILL don't know! LOL. I think that if you're in a private group, then it will show on your feed, but only you and the members of your private group can see it? But it looks like everyone and their brother can see it. I have no proof though.

@sillykitty Here's the link. It says it's a closed group and only members see what is in it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/obesitycodenetwork/?fref=nf

I just asked.

Thanks Fluffy ... can other people see that I am a member?

Mmmmm ok, so you're not a member yet. Why not go to the group and see if you can pull up a member list? You may be able to? I can't tell from here cuz I'm already a member. Right?

But you could just create a new nic and use it for your support groups!

Thanks Fluffy .... just paranoid about privacy ....

Thanks for humoring me!

I can't. But wonder if I was a member would it show up on my page under groups?

So apparently I need to eat more wings and jello! This I can do ?

Uh oh .... low intensity cardio is apparently bad. I mean it feels intense, but probably isn't really ?

Alternating Schedule:

M-W-Th: DD

Sat: MD

Fri-Sun: UD

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm also going to be eating within a 14:10 schedule which means, 14 hours fasting (currently considered the optimal fasting/eating window for females) and 10 hours opportunity to eat scheduled meals. I eat roughly 3-4 hours between meals. So I will be available to eat between 11am-9pm keeping roughly the 3-4 hours between meals.

Okay, so now I have a better understanding of how this can work and I am going to give it a try. I'm sort of accidentally already doing it, I think. LOL! I am working my way through this thread and will catch up with all of the iterations of IF plans, how everybody's doing and find a workable plan for me. Wish me luck!

So my new BF might like me ...

He bought me a ceremonial Matcha set
