Holy cwap!! That's amazing!! :bravo:

I've been good today ate well and exercised ...

Sun: I get sun almost daily I walk to work, it's only 5 mins but I run every second day and I get some sun there too

Age: I'm 53 and I feel like I look it :lol: specially since I've let my hair go au naturale :lol: but I don't physically feel that age at all... Which is one reason I try to keep physically in tip top shape, I want to be the gray haired lady with the hot body :rofl:

I haven't IFd yet myself, well, maybe I did I skipped a snack this afternoon :dizzy:

Evening ladies!

Jennylou that is awesome!

I have never IF'd and don't really intend to. But I do go far longer periods of time without eating than I used to. I only think I should eat something now because my cals are low. Less than 1000 :?:

Ilene you look lovely!!!!!! You skin looks awesome!

Susan I haven't really done a long IF like MDA talks about but am glad not to feel guilty or like I'm killing my metabolism by missing a meal if i'm not hungry. I read about 24 hour IF over there. I'm pretty sure as a diabetic I would croak.

Wow those are low cals! Are you just not hungry? Ketosis does kill the appetite for many.

Well my snack lat night ended up being a few oz almonds instead of cheese. Changing my numbers to:

cals 1657
fat 112
protein 123
carbs 43.

I am shocked how fast my scale dropped since Mon. Wow I must have been holding some serious water!

Jennylou, that is great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Have a great day everyone!

B: Omelette(onion,peppers,squash), cottage chz w/blueberries

I did eat more.
96 gms fat
19 gms carbs
100 gms protein
1350 cals

Perhaps one low day won't hurt a thing but, it's quite ingrained in my head that starving causes binging. Old habits die hard.

Sun? I like it and feel (and think I look) healthier with a bit of a tan. But I'm pretty fair and burn easily. Couldn't do a half hour every day. I can burn in 15 minutes. A couple of times over the summer I'll lay out with a book or go to the beach or somebody's pool or DH's ball games. I also like to sit outside for my coffee breaks.

Don't listen to Ilene. She does not look 53.

I do not recommend IF for type 1 diabetics. That is science kinda far flung for me :dizzy:

Can I just add that I'm really enjoying the bright enthusiasm in this thread? Smart, encouraging folks :hug: I like it!

Susan, I can't wait to go home and watch it :dance: ... I can't hear it at work :(

3fcuser1058250 04-22-2010 09:58 AM

I've been doing good too, yesterday carbs were under 100g, I can't remember exactly though... the scale was down 1 this morning :goodscale:

Hi guys! Just wanted to :wave:! I think I'm going back to my original plan. I had some, um, unpleasant side effects that might have gotten better if I persisted through, but I just couldn't. I might be back for another try later though. Looks like you all are doing AWESOME!! I'm so proud of you!

This was good! The presenter didn't sound convinced, did she? :dizzy: Still wrapped up in conventional wisdom.

Midwife - noooo! I'm going to miss your sense of humour :cry:

I just turned 32. I don't do much IF. I may be able to once I'm used to the lower carbs. I usually need to eat 3 meals or I feel light-headed.

I'm slowly lowering my carbs. Probably a little too slow, but I'm more likely to stick with it if I go slow.

srmb60 04-23-2010 12:41 AM

Aw Midwife! But whatever you are doing is working very well for you and we like that. We'll see you around. :hug:

I need groceries! I just nudged my cals up to almost 1200 by dipping my cheese in the butter :devil:

3fcuser1058250 04-23-2010 09:10 AM

Midwife, I'm going to miss you here, but I know I'll see you around these boards :hug:

wendyland 04-23-2010 10:05 AM

I ordered Mark's primal cookbook a couple days ago. I'm looking forward to it. I'll give you all my review.
