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!!!

I’m in I love IF. This is how I lost 25 lbs in 3 months for the required weight loss before surgery. Is it safe with a sleeve? Maybe it would be ok as long as the protein is sufficient. ????

Yes, I think so? You probably should ask you doc? I don't know how far out you are, but frankly, I wouldn't do IF until you're at least 6 months post op and fully eating foods and maybe even 75% or more toward goal and having issues losing...but that's just me...

I'd like it to be more, I've got to track .5 a day to hit my "Dream Goal"... just trying not to get too stressed about the process, but damn if I'm not trying my hardest LOL !

Need to drop a total of 0.462962962962963 per day to meet that goal! Not to put too fine a point on it LOL.

I know, I'm not really "Stressed", I think I just need to "buckle down" a bit more. Been allowing a bit too much leeway personally. Just trying to make myself accountable.

Try the green smoothies!!!

Greens(Kale/Lettuces/Spinach)/ Water/ Matcha/ Fruit: banana or peaches or pineapple or avocado,etc.

(They are the set point smoothies that Weiner and Vuong recommend, and Whole foods has- stripped down of course)

I love the Avocoloda from Tropical Smoothie Cafe (no sugar of course) with added protein and flax seeds.
