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!!!

We can tell who isn't subject to random urine tests at work! ?

I'd definitely name that art piece - "Phallus in Repose"

Ugh, sorry @Matt Z ... keep your head up and focus on how fabulous you look

Nothing much to report here ...

I feel like I'm really lucky right now. I'm not doing IF nor eating particularly well, and am losing. If I can continue to lose slowly like this, I will be over the moon excited!

Oh, and for those of you that expressed interest in an Air Fryer ... this showed up in my email as early Black Friday

Hey speaking of random urine tests, had a neighbor who let his wife lose custony of her young drug- involved son because he refused an urine test. Kid was sent to a drug program in NE Ohio up by the Pennsylvania border, Sharon Pa metro area , until he reached 18. I think I would not have put up with that, maybe I was a Bad Wife, but kids first, I brought them into life, sneaky smarmy 2nd husband, no way, he go explaining to do and he would be on the end of a pointed stick or an inch from a rolling pin while he spilled his guts! So There!?✊?

Oddly enough as much as I advocate for it, I've never indulged ?

But I just want the world to have a little less suffering in it ?

Nope.

False modesty ...

I don't have those cheekbones, those collar bones, the ability to be 5'3" but pull off outfits that make me look 5'9", those beautiful and dramatic dreads. And I definitely don't have the ability to bag two men in the wild, in one week!
