Day 3 of a planned 5 day 'no solid food fast'
Blood sugar 88 mg/dL
👍🏾 Did I keep my net carbs below 10? Yes!
👎🏾 Did I keep my protein below 90g? No
👎🏾 Is my morning blood sugar in the 70s? No
The good thing about gaining so much weight yesterday was that it reminded me that I am not God and I actually do not have 'control'. I can only do my best and whatever will happen will happen. I really enjoy my 🥛 protein shakes during the day so I had as much as I wanted. I probably would have dropped more weight if I hadn't done this, but I am happier when I get my massive hit of Splenda through the day. I'm in it for the long haul so I have to stay as 'comfortable' as I want at any given time.
I see some posts about people thinking of reducing their calories or fasting. For those people, here are a few things I learned along the way:
🌟 For months I averaged 600 calories a day. I discovered this was very 'threatening' to a lot of people. Many feel that if this were truly possible, truly safe, what they have believed would be untrue. If so, would 'they' have pressure on them to do the same? They don't want this, so they will fight vehemently against this.
🌟 So, they will attack you. They will be relentless. Now, they don't care about you. They really don't care if you stay fat. They don't care you can't climb stairs and that you feet are numb. All they care about is that you do not 'spread' this 'blasphemy'. This is 'religion'. People attack others beliefs because they feel that if the 'other religion' 'spreads' it will threaten their religion. A lot of people do-not-want to come on FatSecret and be faced with a ton of people 'fasting'! This would be VERY stressful to them.
🧘🏾♂️ So I had to find MY motivation. I was turning 50 and had been a fat obese guy ALL my adult life. I was not going to continue to believe what others believe and never have the body I dreamed of all my life.
😎 So, I flat out ignored people. I found the small handful of supporters and ignored the detractors. Now, I do forgive them, because I can understand their fears. However, I continue to do what I need to do.
💪🏾 I post on my Journal because the handful of others on this site that were fasting gave me vital support. I want to do the same for others.
Anyway, off for a 🏃🏾 run. It is going to rain in Southern California so I wont get to walk during lunch and after work. Calorie wise it wont make of a difference, but I REALLY enjoy the mental benefit.
Have a great day everyone!

@Swedishblondie - I didn't give the complete recipe, 1 scoop of Quest Vanilla Protein Powder, Splenda, and Heavy Cream. Add hot water. Mix with a hand held battery operated mixer (simply 'stirring' with a spoon wont cut it, I want a thick 'milky texture). 3carbs! But, it is 'overboard' in sweetness and would probably make you give it a 'hard pass' :)

Great idea - better to get them done during the day - if I stay up really late and am stressed the refrigerator becomes my very best friend!

Great post. Everyone thinks they know best. But really, you only know what is best for you. I have a half a dozen ppl ask me how I lost so much weight everyweek. I tell them. They are shocked, confused, or excited. Some want to know more. I tell them to try it out, if they don’t like it, try something else 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
