My (Up Down fat Plan) experiment

  • Start date April 28th 2015 at 180 pounds.

    Today was a down day for fat.

    Roasted chicken and lean beef....That's all for today.
  • My Plan defined:

    1. 30 grams or less each day of carbs
    2. Alternating every other day with high and low fat.
    3. vitamins, bone broth (when I make it) daily
    4. No alcohol (it only lead to carbs or overeating for me)

    (disclaimer)

    This diet has not been evaluated by anyone in the scientific community that I know of. Therefore, if you choose to join me, you are joining the Experiment. Welcome aboard if you dare.
  • 4/28 day one 180 (up fat)
    4/29 day two 178 (low fat)
    4/30 day three 179 (high fat)
    5/1 up fat with no weigh in
    5/2 off plan by about 1500 added calories and who knows the carbs
    5/3 got on the scale and at 180. Oh well
    5/9 back to 180,,,,took a trip up to 183 while working my way back to plan
  • Wow those stats are interesting! I am watching with great interest.
  • Days like yesterday are bound to happen. I was out of town Friday and Saturday, but on the way home stopped at a Chinese restaurant. So I tried to stay on plan and just eat it without the rice. Something triggered the hunger in me and that explains the 1500 extra calories and carbs, but my guess is I was already out of ketosis. So today I start fresh. It will be an up fat day today, and until I am in ketosis again.
  • Oh bummer, but keep going. These things are sent to try us. We only fail if we give up, not when we continue trying 😉
  • Thanks Joda,
    Well I'm going to switch to the plate diet for a while. It is a low glycemic diet to help cure insulin resistance.

    I just need more variety in food right now. It seems that restaurant experience threw me off more than I could have anticipated. But I do need to stay in the low glycemic food list. I'll keep checking in and when I get a second wind I'll be back to my up down fat plan.
  • Well I'm back to Keto, but just doing IF with it. So in a sense I am doing alternating low fat and high fat by fasting between meals.

    I'm starting to get the hang of it and my body likes it.
