Day 1 of a planned 1 day ‘no solid food’ fast
Blood sugar 85 mg/dL
I think I had a two pound weight drop, that I reduced to only one pound, because I cranked my calories up to 1400 and I missed my run yesterday 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah, yeah, I know most people WILL lose weight on 1400 calories, but, I always suggest to people that they record their food daily and analyze their *own* numbers.
People like me, who have been OBESE *ALL* their adult lives do not change that by going: “Oh! I just needed to ‘follow conventional wisdom!’”. You record the numbers, look at the *facts* then *accept* the situation for being exactly the way it is.
For me:
🌟 I cannot lose weight on over 1400 calories a day
🌟 I cannot lose weight with 200+ carbs a day
I have 6 years of data on this site to prove that it is nothing personal, just the way it is. All my fasting, and other ‘ideas and techniques’, are all just methods to achieve those two objectives. I see sooo many people on the site, who like me, just stay fat. My heart goes out to you. There IS hope, You CAN do it. But, I “Suggest” that you:
1) Record *ALL* your food (that is the purpose of this site)
2) Record your weight at least weekly (daily numbers are not needed for analysis)
3) Look at *your* data each month and make *your* decisions based on #1 and #2
For me, Looking at my data, three day weekends are when I gain the most weight, and it takes 1-2 weeks to get back to the point I was when the 3+ day weekend started.
Knowing this, I can either ‘accept the weight gain’ (this is what I did over the Holidays), or ‘do something different’. So, I decided to make today a ‘no solid food’ day (this is rare for me on a weekend).
Today I plan to go to the 🏋🏾 gym and 🏃🏾 run. I know my lifting strength will still be greatly diminished, but, by still working my muscles as hard as I can, I hope to prevent as much muscle loss as I can as I continue to concentrate on dropping weight.
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
