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!!!

IF Strikes again

back down to 156 after a few days of 16:8, 18:6.

Happy to see it will be my maintenance tool.

Also, psyllium husk in a keto friendly bread I made sat like a log in my sleeve but cleans the plumbing

That's great @GreenTealael

I'm just doing mild IF, not eating in the morning because I'm naturally not hungry. I'm not timing it, but it likely 14:10 or something like that (or would that be 10:14?)

Weight is continuing to come off slowly, which is amazing considering the crap I've been eating. I'm still in the honeymoon period it seems! Or maybe it's the cardio

First IF after Fatsgiving!! Boy did I try to rationalize not doing it!! I’m gonna try for a 22/2. I’m up 6lbs of F&F (fat & fluids) ?. Am gonna try for back to back 22/2’s then get back to UD/DDs on a 16/8 daily schedule. Have to whip my mind into shape that treats are not in an everyday rotation!

LOLOL

Sincerely,

Rationalizing Rhonda in Recklessville

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Wahooooo! Hell yeah you should be over the moon girlfriend! Seriously. Seriously awesome!

(and we're girls...that's how we roll! )

You know what would be great, a magic 8ball style scale. Sure it will give your weight but also some positive affirmations and jokes too.

Like if you gain it will say that you're more awesome than before, if you lose it will tell you to never lose your charm, etc...

I support this image! I've been watching HMC almost 24/7. And now I'm also on the Lifetime Channel Train. So I have movies movies movies! All Christmas, all the time!

Celebrated hitting goal by going to a AYCE restaurant for lunch.

Ok, not really, this lunch date was already planned.

Funny place, it advertises as a Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant, but it is in a predominantly Korean area, so it is really a fusion between Shabu Shabu and Hot Pot. Best of both worlds, the individual pots of Shabu Shabu, but intense flavors of Hot Pot.

Could have been totally legit, if I had stuck to the meat only, but some noodles and gyoza snuck their way in

Up 0.4 this morning. Not surprised considering I'm retaining water, probably due to the dipping sauces.

Good news is I did IF yesterday, and most likely will do so again.

Date night tonight. Going to an Argentinian restaurant. Trying to figure out which one specifically. The city I know we going to has three ... hmmm ....

I'd answer and comment but I'm too busy drooling over here. All over my keyboard.

Definitely lucky!

The only downside is I definitely don't get my money out of AYCE, even though we stretched it out to a 2 hr meal and went during lunch so it was cheaper!
