Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

  • Popular Post

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? :D

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, I'll start this. I'm about 6 1/2 months out from RNY surgery. I'm down 123.6lbs from my most recent high weight of 287lbs as of last May 5, 2017. You can see my stats in the signature panel and on

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!

Sweetie, come hang out and play for sure and do your reading. But I think 3months out is still too soon to add IF, IMHO. I think you need to be a minimum of 6 months out and MUST be able to eat ALL of your protein with food and be getting a good amount of veg/nutrition from food. You do you, but I think anything less is kinda overkill. Let your surgery work for you as you work for it. :)

Nice! I will join you shortly!

And I think he got it from Amazon ❤

You know what's weird... I randomly started adding other teas to my Matcha for different flavor profiles but never even looked up health benefits of the combos...

:) Which ones are you adding together and how do they taste? Have you tried lemon or ginger with it?

I've been spending too much time reading about autophagy. I'm determined to reverse this tremor crap I have since chemo. And there are lots of teas that aid autophagy and are also supposed to support new stem cell growth and longevity. I tell ya, I'm falling down the rabbit hole more and more. Pretty soon I'm turning vegan, sporting a black mustache and looking like Valter Longo. LOL. ;)
