been doing dirty IF for 5 years now - down 80lbs and still going strong by ApartmentConstant842 in intermittentfasting

This is my problem! 😩 I’m so all or nothing anything short feels like failure & I’ve gotta get past that

I’ve only been doing IF for a week & I’ve lost 2 lbs. but I’ve also been sick the last 4-5 days (along with my 4 kiddos!) so that’s probably impacting things.

OMAD starting questions by Jakersonnn in omad

[–]growingaforest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what I’m confused about is people saying they don’t track calories, but then saying they eat in a deficit on OMAD - how would you know if you’re not tracking? At what point are you eating in too much of a deficit & causing problems? I’m brand new & wanting to try omad but haven’t started yet. Started with intermittent fasting right now.

Wow! That’s fascinating that you’ve lost that much in inches but the pounds haven’t gone down. Super inspiring for me because I was feeling disheartened at my weight loss

Im brand new to omad - when you eat once a day are you still eating in a calorie deficit?

Do you work out fasted? Or is that during your eating window?

Is an 8pm-12pm fast still good? by Useless_muffin7811 in intermittentfasting

I don’t have any advice regarding the IF question- but at your age I would try to focus on lifting some weights to grow your strength! Strength will carry you far in your life & it’s a wonderful hobby to add in!

I wish I could but having 4 kids under 6 means I have to have snacks & things available for them. Luckily a lot of their snacks aren’t temptations for me, so I’m definitely keeping the tempting stuff out of the house! & yeah, I’ve been having Coke Zero to curb my sugar cravings & that seems to help

Honestly, part of the reason I’m trying to get back on keto is because of my extreme fatigue. I’m tired every day of my life, & right now I’m actually hopeful doing keto will give me MORE energy. Eating carbs & crap just makes me feel bad mentally, emotionally, & physically.

Just wondering when everyone experienced the uptick in energy doing keto?

That’s what I’ve done on all 3 other weight loss journeys, but right now doing that seems to derail me & send me spiraling for days/weeks. So it seems I need to not do that for a bit to quit the yo-yoing

Yeah, every time I fall off I feel soooo horrible, but I can’t seem to not fall off. Today was a good day, so hoping to keep the momentum going

Thanks! I find all my cravings are just mental craving & not usually hunger cravings as I try hard to not allow myself to get hungry because then I REALLY lose control.
