Day 2 of a planned 2 days of eating Blood sugar 109 mg/dL
Yesterday…
👍🏾 Went for a 5 mile 🏃🏾 run (suppose to be a 7 mile run, but, I did it in 44 minutes, and it was late, and got dark) 👎🏾 Did NOT keep my carbs below 50 (hit 115) 👍🏾 Keep my protein below 100
Yet, I still lost weight.
However, it’s just *BS* at this point. After tracking my numbers (and more importantly LOOKING at them) , I know how to game the numbers. As I sat on the couch playing video games, with a friend who has known me for my entire adult life and saw me be ‘obese’ for 30 years (and is now facing his own weight struggles), I explained to him that, as I was eating a bag of Frosted Flakes, the food was not going to go to my body as fat, only to leave my body based on my calorie deficit.
I explained that I would go for a run that will mostly just shift my water weight around. This water weight is a calculation primarily influenced by the amount of glucose in my system and the amount of glycogen in my muscles (that I was about to try to deplete).
What was NOT happening is burning fat. I don’t know about other people, but, I don’t burn fat when I am pounding carbs and ‘excess protein’.
So, yeah, my current loss is seriously just ‘water weight’, and if I keep this up I will, as soon as I stop exercising so hard, and my glycogen stores fill up again, have a HUGE jump in weight (like I do every weekend).
This is what happened last week:
Fri 15th (173 pounds): calories: 1738 protein: 109.66g carbs: 107.76g
Sat 16th (172 pounds): calories: 1676 protein: 113.32g carbs: 91.52g
Sun 17th (172 pounds): calories: 1910 protein: 105.00g carbs: 79.00g
Mon 18th (172 pounds): calories: 1566 protein: 126.66g carbs: 46.34g
Tue 19th (176 pounds): calories: 930 protein: 72.00g carbs: 9.00g
This is how I look so far this week:
Fri 22nd (170 pounds): calories: 1655 protein: 100.00g carbs: 95.00g
Sat 23rd (170 pounds): calories: 1535 protein: 96.00g carbs: 115.50g
Sat 24rd (168 pounds): calories: ?? protein: ?? carbs: ??
The good news is that this weekend is NOT a 3-day weekend so I will go back to my ‘no solid food’ fast on Monday.
My ‘no solid food’ fasts STOP the *damage* of going multiple days of not burning fat.
This allows my body to switch to actually burning fat rather than just shifting water weight around.
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
