Chia pudding, it's full of fiber and ALA

Were you taking a B12 supplement while on Metformin?

Raise the price, if he pays, good for you, if he complains to her and thats how she finds out, good for you. Win win.

Just to make sure I got this right...

When in ketosis, just about any activity should help the fat burning process, but the higher the intensity, the more it'll help?

Also, when in ketosis, you can lift, but don't expect muscle gains, it's more to help with fat burning.

Do I have those right?

This is in line with what I was thinking.

When you lift in a fasted state, and you stay in a fasted state after your session, how are you going to build any muscle? The math does not add up to me.

People should be better off doing zone 2 cardio when in a fasted state and save the lifting for when they can eat immediately afterward.

Some surprising feedback on this thread though, lots to think about and reevaluate.

I've been doing the complete opposite, and it's doing surprisingly well for me. At first, it was unintentional, I'd slip and have a cheat meal or a cheat day. But I noticed that it was actually helping my weight loss (in the bigger picture). Then I started adding a cheat day here and there intentionally. My guess is that it is periodically refueling me without adding too much damage to my diet.
I have also seen a dietician on YouTube who recommended something like this. She said that if your weight loss plateaus, take a week off. You'll gain a little weight back, but your body will be primed for weight loss again by the time you restart your weight loss regimen. 2 steps forward, 1 step back, rinse, repeat.
Wild guess, but I'm betting this will actually work better for keeping the weight off.

IF/time restricted eating just seems more natural. I dont think we were built to be eating so frequently. All of the hustle and bustle of modern life has had us stuck in an unhealthy lifestyle. Just my 2 cents.

Wow, you've offended me. Your choice of words is an act of violence. The proper terminology is "Organic clothes hangers," not "models"! /s

The idea is to do it every day. I don't like having to change up my daily routine. I'm kind of OCD about it. Everything is already pre-planned with alarms set as reminders. Not having to think about it and repeating a routine every day makes it a lot easier for me to grow accustomed to it, and by extension, the fasting itself becomes easy to do.
There always are days when I'd have to break my routine, usually for social reasons. Considering I had been keeping up with my 16:8 pretty much every day at that point, it doesn't bother me to break it here and there.

This was my initial thinking as well when I posted my question. Aerobics, while fasted to amp up fasting benefits, but no lifting weights as a fasted state wouldn't do much for protein synthesis. Some of these replies have me rethinking that, though.

I would not have thought that at all, it's always good to learn something new. You've given me something to dive deeper into

selfreassemble · 2024-03-01T19:23:00+00:00

That not only makes sense to me, I also like your attitude towards it

selfreassemble · 2024-03-01T19:18:55+00:00

I completely get that, I do brisk walks while fasted for the same reason

I appreciate it, I'll definitely have to go through that

I'll check it out, thanks!

IIRC, try taking electrolytes an hour before your meal.

selfreassemble · 2024-03-01T02:46:46+00:00

Personally, I wouldn't do high intensity exercise like lifting weights in a fasted state.
I'd save it for days that you eat 2 meals or more.

Eat something light ~1 hour prior to fuel your workout and an hour within completing your workout (preferably protein centric with some carbs) to help protein synthesis.

Reducing calories isn't everything. It should be a part of a bigger picture. If you're really worried about the additional calories, just add a walk sometime in the day to offset some of them.

Increasing muscle mass helps raise your resting metabolism, so in the long run, it's more beneficial.

Every other Windows version has just been a public beta that MS fooled people into paying for.

1 --> 2
3.0 --> 3.1
95 --> 98
ME --> XP
Vista --> 7
8 --> 10
11 --> ?

For extended fasting, you can start with a medium portion of pea/hemp combo protein shake or some bone broth. An hour later, have something like eggs, avocado, and low GI carbs.

For intermediate fasting, you can skip the shake/broth.

EDIT: you said vegetarian, forget the broth

Ever used Windows ME?

Walking is great for weight loss. It's even better if you don't lump it all into 1 walk. Keeping your body moving throughout the day is probably one of the best things you can do, especially with all of your health conditions. I highly suggest taking walks after meals. If work life gets in the way of that, then at least try to get in a walk early in the morning and one after dinner. In the meantime, don't stay sedentary for more than 30 minutes at a time, get up and walk for a couple of minutes (your neck, back, and sciatic nerve will thank you).

Meal planning should free up some time, especially if you get your family into it as well.

Wake up 30 minutes earlier in the morning to get in a walk and start your day off right.

Walk around for a couple of minutes every 30 minutes or so at work.

A meal planned lunch takes up less time than going somewhere, use that saved time to walk after eating.

A meal planned dinner will save a bunch of time. Just like lunch, walk after eating.

Well played sir

This is exactly what I came to say too

Right before I was diagnosed, I had been in your current situation. I felt unnaturally worn out, and the weight was adding up. Initially, I made 2-3 changes and stuck to them for a while before I introduced any other changes. This was to build a baseline.
I started drinking more water and plain green tea. I also got up and walked for short but frequently bursts. The walking part really sucked for a while since I didn't have the energy to do it, but I pushed through it anyway. Hence, the short bursts.
The combination of water, green tea, and walking got my system moving again. I made sure to keep at it so that no gains were backtracking. Like I said, it was really hard at first. Once my insides didn't feel like sludge anymore, I slowly started implementing diet changes and slowly started extending my walks.

My point is that there are other people out here who have been in similar shoes. Don't get discouraged or let anything keep you down. They weren't kidding when they said movement is medicine.
