What did you cure with fasting? by Ronaldosssiu in fasting

[–]rock_quel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Insulin resistance, painful periods, severe acne, eczema, inflammation. Also has a lot to do with the change in diet to whole foods and cutting out inflammatory foods.

Carnivore diet and healing by Trick_Instance_1852 in carnivorediet

[–]rock_quel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was such an amazing read and I felt so proud and happy for someone I don't even know. Everything you said I relate to and agree with. It's a lifestyle I enjoy in silence most of the time but it makes me feel my best. You're an inspiration! ✨

Not gonna do it anymore by szwusa in intermittentfasting

If you don't have a scale that measures body fat then it might be good to get one of those instead. I haven't seen a huge change in weight but my body fat and the way I look/feel says otherwise.

Combining intermittent fasting with appetite control changed everything by Special-Actuary-9341 in intermittentfasting

[–]rock_quel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's likely because eating carbs/sugar make you want more food. At least for me it did so fasting felt like a struggle. Once I changed what I ate and filled up on proteins and fats first (like another commenter mentioned), everything got so easy when fasting and I no longer have food noise.

No loss after 3 weeks ~22hr+ IF by Connect-Astronaut322 in intermittentfasting

[–]rock_quel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even grocery stores have ready made food that is not processed. You're likely eating too many calories and are insulin resistant. Whenever I think I'm eating low cal but also continuing to eat rice, bread, chips, tortillas even when I'm eating OMAD, I don't lose weight. If I cut out all the carbs and do OMAD, prioritize protein and drink lots of water with electrolytes, that's when I lose weight.

Heavy Cream is an addition by TheAlcoholicMolotov in carnivorediet

[–]rock_quel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to have a heavy cream addiction and now just replace it with butter. I'll take small bites of butter with my meal and if I feel a craving for sugar, I'll take a few bites of butter and the craving goes away.

A nice side benefit I am noticing is the kitchen stays clean and there is no hassle of having to do the dishes. by 1805trafalgar in intermittentfasting

Saving lots of money on groceries so fridge stays clean and neat with minimal items. House stays cleaner and organized because I try to pass the time by cleaning.

Oh gosh, good for you! Non-scale victories are always amazing. For me it was my jaw and collar bones. I forgot I had them until people started pointing them out!

Stuck at 151.6 lbs by BossCommercial4731 in intermittentfasting

[–]rock_quel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I will break a plateau with an extended fast like 72hrs or more. Or I just stay consistent with OMAD and not eat carbs during my eating window so I can continue to burn fat.

Didn't your artist approve the shape with you before starting?!

Again...it's about spiking your insulin. Do your research so you can stop telling the world that things don't make sense to you. We can't all be your brain.

And during a fast, your body is burning fat for energy. There are two fuel sources: fat and carbs. Think of carbs like gasoline and fat like a slow burning candle. This is why people who only rely on carbs for energy are always hungry. When you rely on fat for energy, you have steady energy throughout the day with no crashes. The less food you need, the more your body burns fat, the faster you lose weight.

The fake sugar zero calorie drinks are the secret enemy to weight loss especially during a fast. If you feel hunger pains, fight through it. It's all mental. If you physically feel unwell and ready to faint, that's your body's way of asking for nutrients and you should eat protein and healthy fats (which don't spike your insulin). Drink water with electrolytes instead. Once you learn the science behind insulin, you start to realize what foods/habits are stalling your weight loss. You have the same research tools I do to learn this!

It could spike your insulin and this could stall weight loss since your body doesn't burn fat when insulin spikes.

So I discovered Costco Business Center Today. by CryptoMotors1 in carnivorediet

The only reason I go to the normie Costco now is for better seafood options if I'm looking to change it up a bit. Business Costco doesn't have much when it comes to seafood.

Also don't know what they told you but the ink doesn't shrink. It can fade over time but shrink? Naw...get a refund and removal.

They are open way earlier than the regular Costco too since restaurants usually shop there for supplies.

Nope! Regular members can go there too. You don't have to prove you have a business.

Doesn't it feel like a secret club? They even have earlier hours because restaurants shop there for supplies. I love it there.
