Morning all, just catching up.
fliss love the jeans
mary that's one way of losing weight! Glad you are going to be well enough for your holiday, hope you have a fab time.
Wombat yay! Well done.
Notdead those coddled eggs look good
reader well done for resisting the biscuits, pastries, etc. Laid on food is often dreadful for the lc eater, isn't it?
Regular well done on getting right back to it after a night off, your PoV sounds very sensible.
I haven't posted for a few days, I've still been at it, just not got round to posting. I have read Jason Fung's the obesity code. It was very interesting and quite compelling. For those of you who haven't. heard about him, he doesn't advocate lchf per se, but argues that insulin causes obesity and insulin spikes and therefore insulin resistance occurs because of two things. The first is high spikes of insulin. This is where lchf comes in, as if you follow it, you will have lower spikes. The second is the persistence of insulin due to snacking, so he advocates no snacking and fasting to get the insulin levels right down for a time.
So, I thought I'd give IF a go yesterday. I missed the cream in my morning coffee, but I survived. Other than that, it really was ok. I was pretty hungry at about 11.30, then it wore off and I felt fine, not mega hungry. I even went and did a weight session after work. Then had dinner at 7pm (chicken in garlic basil and tomato sauce with courgette, was another lovely meal from the Paleoleap website) wasn't 24 hours, about 22 hours. I've tried IF prior to this woe and I couldn't do it, because I wanted to eat my own arm by the end of the day and because I felt dizzy, shaky, etc. Neither of these things happened this time.
So, sorry tl:dr, but the gist is, I'm going to try IF 2-3 times a week.
Hope everyone has a good weekend
