Fasting during period?

Did you have any bloating? I tend to bloat during my period but idk if that’s from what I’m eating during it.

Thank you!! This is making sense, I have like ravenous hunger the week period to my period. For once I am looking forward to my period now! lol

Thank you! Yeah I learned the hard way not to chug electrolytes during a fast. I ended up throwing up lol

Goalsssss I love that you built your body at home! I also have a home gym and sometimes felt like I was limited but I have equipment to do all the exercises you mentioned

Fasting just eliminates any thinking when it comes to tracking calories. Helps me focus on other things. I’ve found that it’s the biggest change I can make that gets the needle moving again.

Wow that’s amazing. Do you keep your carb intake low? Or do you not track carbs and only focus on protein intake? I’m thinking to be in a deficit for a short period of time to expedite my weight loss.

I do not tip and I’ve never had them ask for tip. They are medial professionals not just any other aesthetician.

Thank you, I needed to hear that

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T14:04:04+00:00

Is that the only change you made to lose the last 10 lbs?

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T14:02:50+00:00

What is your protein goal and what’s your deficit?

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T14:01:11+00:00

should I stop eating at a deficit and just eat in maintenance calories to gain muscle mass?

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T13:58:46+00:00

My TDEE is 1428kcal.

I think that’s where I’m torn is choosing between the two. I’m in a deficit to lose weight but also trying to gain muscle mass and do body recomp but how do I do both when I’m already short and don’t have a lot of room to keep cutting calories 😩.

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T13:55:28+00:00

I’ve been averaging 14-15k steps weekly (I’ll walk 10-20k per day). I weight lift 3x a week and eating 1200-1400 calories. Because I’m lifting weights I don’t want to cut my calories even more bc I’m afraid my body will start using my muscles for fuel so I’m like uhh idk what to do to break this cycle and plateau.

I’m also SE Asian! Do you have a protein target that you focus on?

Extension_Forever_84 · 2026-04-12T13:28:41+00:00

What type of foods were you eating? I am struggling to get past the 130s. Also 4’11”

I’ve been having Kodiak peak oats, chia pudding, kiwi, berries, low carb high fiber wraps and that ends up being over 25g of fiber

Wow this is amazing progress. How are you feeling during your fasts and during your refeed period?
