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

It actually sounds pretty yummy! Do you have any idea of the carb/sugar with the pineapple? How much do you use in it? Wondering if it would spike me or make me regret life and living...But I am hungry for a green smoothie!

I used exactly 1 ring of pineapple

30 cals/ 7.5 carb/6.5 sugar in 18 oz of water ( with other stuff of course)

Oh wow! That's completely do-able!!! :) So do you use fresh pineapple?

Damn. Now I'm feeling all sad and jealous-y when I was perfectly satisfied previously. ROFLMAO! Go figure! I don't have any pineapple today but will have to grab some this weekend.

Canned, left over from when my kids wanted to make pineapple upside down cake and never did lol, maybe next I will move on to the peaches I bought to make peach crisp for a friend (but never happened lol)

Trying to be a good little minimalist and use everything I buy before I buy new things...

Hahahaaha good for you!! So do you think it would fewer carbs/sugar with fresh or do you think about the same and about the same sweet level?

I zoodled in your honor today.

The single serving (blue/white plate) looks WAY bigger than it was. Although, I did eat it all (now regret it). And the clear glass plate made 4 servings. Poor Mr. F. He is officially having some of that for dins + leftover soup. :)

Full 4 serving salad

I haven't bought a whole fresh pineapple in a while (I usually buy frozen fruit- lasts/lazy) I bet it would be a lot better! IDK about the macros because it would vary by size and weight of the amount you use... Oh. So. Lazy...

Oh yeah, as slowly as I use it, frozen is an awesome idea! I'm finding myself wanting to slip back into slidy, easy to get protein in meals and the green smoothie is perfect. Although I usually stall when I try to incorporate them again...but I'm just a little over "challenging" my tum right now.

But you could totally prep smoothies freezer bags, I do it in the summer so my kids can just add water to the blender and the contents of the Ziploc and not bother me about knives... ?

Whah??? Protein brownies? :) Do tell please. :)

The frozen mango chunks and pineapple chuncks form target are 40-50 calories per cup and I eat about a1/4 cup when I have to have something with sweet. They are like strawberries lo calories with fiber so carbs aren’t too bad.
