Intermittent Day 8

I have a full schedule to go through today. I'm however staying within my fasting period until 12 even though it's the weekend. I have an appointment and then coming back to the house for some spring cleaning. There's laundry, then ironing - it's too much to do really. I still haven't bought the missing pantry items but I can manage until later this month when it's shopping time.

I'm beyond exhausted and I have not even gone through half the chores I need to get done this weekend.

I had an avocado and bacon this morning with coffee. I then had a chelsea bun (which I obviously shouldn't be having)

I have to have dinner before 20h00....

Intermittent Fasting Day 7

The day went well and everything was ok until that devilish chocolate store... I have fallen and its all my fault. I hate chocolate because I love it so much

Intermittent Fasting Days 7 & 8

So, the past two days have been going well and as much as I didn't stay within a fully ketogenic diet, I know I stayed within 50g of carbs and not more. I have gone shopping today and have managed to get most of the food stuff I need - but there's a few things I haven't found as yet:

1. Coconut oil
2. MCT oil
3. Xylitol / Stevia Sweetner
4. More salted and unsalted butter
5. Cream Cheese
6. Dark chocolate (90%)
7. Whipping cream
8. Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
9. Cucumbers
10. Gelatine

Etc.

I need to work on recipes ... Yay! So exciting! Been looking forward to my chocolate fat bombs...

Intermittent Fasting - Day 4

I had 1 serving of barley grass powder and had 2 pieces of grilled steak. Then later I had 1 serving of paap with chicken and gravy (not low carb, I know but what am I to do?)
I'm now having black coffee with real sugar - I am definately having a bad day!

It's weigh in day Saturday and re-check on Sunday just to see where I am. Today I am not doing well at all

Day 1 - Intermittent Fasting (end of the day)

... Like I said in my previous post, today is Day 1 of my 30 Day Intermittent Fasting (16/8) self-challenge. I know what it's like to want to complete at least a single successful day on my fast and be never able to do so.... /shock

This has happened a million and a half times

I've successfully completed a day of 16 hours of fasting and feasting within the 4 hour period after - and have stayed within 1200 kcal. I'm also happy with my meal choices and have stayed LCHF as planned. I have in fact, already decided on what to eat tomorrow after my fast (at 12h00) and am happy with my choices.

Meal 1
2 tsp barley grass powder with 500ml water
1 cup buttered coffee with cream
1 cup broccoli with 1 egg, 2 tbs mayo and 35g white cheddar + 1 cooked chicken drumstick

Meal 2
1 cup butted coffee with cream
Butter-fried broccoli with egg and cheese bake

During Fast
Water up to 4 litres
Green tea

... I need to track a few days and then it shouldn't be so difficult to get to 30 days and beyond

Day One - Intermittent Fasting

Today is my first day of my Intermittent Fasting Challenge. It's 16 hours of fasting  and 8 hours of feasting but staying within 1200 - 1800 calories per day (but selecting better foods, protein, vegetables and healthy fats etc.)

I've just completed my first 16 hour fast and now comes the hard part... making sure that my calories come from better choices. For the next 30 days my first meal will be at 12h00, and my last meal just before 20h00. The plan is to carry on for as long as possible or until I reach my goal weight but the real challenge is making it to the 30 days.

I don't expect to lose so much in the 30 days but it should be enough incentive for me to carry on. I commit to blog daily on what each day brings... I can't rely on hope or wishes, but I can rely on consistency - I have a lifetime of research and searching but the time for research is over!!!

Meal 1
1 teaspoon barley grass powder in 250ml water

1 cup coffee with cream

Meal 2
