12 days into my intermittent fasting (IF) diet plan this January.
Started off with the usual 36 hour fast I do the 1st of every month.
2nd day began 16/8 Intermittent fasting (IF), but limiting to liquids till breaking 210.
IF = 16 hr fasting & 8 hr TRE (time restricted eating or as I call, eating window.
I'm doing 10 am - 6 pm.
Day 1: 36 hour fast from Saturday evening to Monday morning (coffee/herb tea)
Day: 2-11 = liquids only: protein shakes, V-8 juice, buttermilk, limited fruit juices w/o added sugar
(b/c diabetic) & broths.
Day: 12 = added tuna, sardines, eggs, Canadian bacon, salsa & jalapenos since under 210.
Day 13 = will add raw veggies.
I am combining no/low carbs this January during my TRE till 200 is broken.
2 yrs ago on Optavia (1200 calorie/day), I went from 216 to 196.
On Optavia you ate 6 very small "meals" per day!
I was angry the whole month, haha!
Weight:
- Day 1: 225
- Day 12: 209
- Total loss so far: 16#
Notes:
- 1st week always better than the 2nd week where weight loss slows down.
- stuck on 214: day 5 & 6
- stuck on 211: day 8, 9 & 10
