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 Days 5 & 6

I'm on Day 6 on Intermittent Fasting and I didn't count the 2 days I didn't fast in (weekend).
I want to continue the 16 hour fast throughout the weeks, right through the weekends - I want to track at least 30 uninterrupted days.
Yesterday (day 5) went very well and I didn't have any issues (other than my choice of meals at dinner). I had dumplings and chicken with grated cabbage and carrots with some tomatoes and even a potato or three.

It's been easy so far to eat after 12h00 and be ready for my next fasting period of 20h00 to the next day. My calories are still fine so far but my issue is keeping my carbs and fat intake on track - I have just completed my new macros calculations and I should be able to make my pre-planned meals all keto/lchf. The reason I eat the 'wrong' foods is because I don't pre-make my meals, I make them when I'm so hungry that everything looks great!

Will do my meal batches over the weekend and I'll take it from there.

I got myself a corset early this year and would you believe it that it doesn't fit? I'm working to get it to close without killing me at least - I can't wait to start corset-training....

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 3 - Intermittent Fasting

Today is the third day and everything feels good
I'm a bit edgy like I'm just easily getting mad and frustrated at everything - there's so much happening that I can't handle. I don't even know what I'm getting upset about.

Like I said, the day is going well - I'm having my first cup of green tea and will have my feasting period starts at 13h00

All went well

Day 2 - Intermittent Fasting

Yesterday was day two of I.F. and it went very well. The fasting period is totally easy and I had no headache or nausea or even craving for anything.

I had a couple of slices of raisin bread that I could have avoided had I not been making that for the rest of the family but I had some... And after my feasting window ended I had two glasses of red wine 🍷...  I dont know if it'll make a difference but I'm adding one more hour to my fasting time.

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
