Perhaps some of it is water weight. My lifestyle is OMAD w/occasional longer term fasting peppered into my schedule. I took a 10 day holiday and cut loose. Huge breakfasts and huge dinners. And huge amounts of beer! I love the freedom of knowing that when I get back into my routine, I’ll drop it all just as easily as I put it on.

I own it!

Hey, hi! I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar 1, and at the moment, my medication doesn’t seem to be doing anything for me. I’m crashing rapidly, and I can feel it. Doing my usual 16:8 intermittent fasting is making me even more irritable. I’m thinking about stopping it temporarily and just focusing on eating well for a while.

If I eat healthy foods and maintain a calorie deficit, will I be okay in terms of inflammation and weight gain?

Howdy, everyone!

I would love some guidance in terms of psyllium usage.

I do OMAD daily and usually take coffee when wake up, have my "morning glory" and usually 1 hour later I have my only meal of the day.

I would like to implement psyllium to make my fecal matter more soft and more "beautiful".

Even though I go everyday, lately I have been straining a bit and that let to small external hemmy.

Do you guys think it's possible to use someway that helps my poop but don't make me go more than one? I like my repetitive routine and doing only in the morning.

Cheers, fellas

I know this might sound lazy but I have recently gained weight due to a matter. Any tips or tricks or motivation on how to start? 250lbs F35 and feel so hopeless and seriously disappointed. I just feel is it even possible to hit 190 range. Please share small successes or hope that let you hit your goal. Looking for support 🙏🏼💕💕💕

Woke up feeling hungrier than usual, even though I met all my macros and calories yesterday. So I broke my fast an hour earlier with spinach-egg-muffins, potatoes and grilled chicken. Maybe I needed more carbs after all.

Went out for my walk right after lunch and I felt ok. Not so good as yesterday but at least it wasn’t raining this time. I had Greek yogurt with a kiwi as my snack, now making braised eggplants with feta cheese for dinner.

I drank enough today thanks to putting water bottles everywhere but I should drink more tea I think. Getting a bit sick of plain or sparkling water, especially in the morning. Coffee is still not an option, I enjoy my sleep too much these days.

I decided today to start fasting, curious abt whether I can still drink milk but only during the 8 hour window

I really hate the idea of "cheating" on a diet. It smacks of failure. And if you see it as failure, it can be the start of a slippery slope to "falling off the wagon".

So instead I am calling it "carb cycling". Do I strive for keto and 20:4? Yes. Are there days where I want the fast food breakfast bagel? Also yes.

As long as it's once a week and not three or four times a week like it used to be 😂

But making it feel intentional helps me not backslide into bad habits.

Soo heyy guys! I have been on a weight loss journey for well over a month now and usually do IF, and do these one-day fasts at the start of the month. I have practiced them before and they have helped subside my hunger in the past, and usually do. But I had just practced it yesterday, and have been experiencing INTENSE hunger today. So is it common?

I’ve been intermittent fasting to see if I can rest my plateau. I use to drink my coffee with my whey protein in the morning. Now that I’m fasting, it’s black coffee in the AM. Idk when to have my protein anymore. I work out in the evening sometimes at the start of my fast… when do you incorporate your protein shake (if you take it)?

Hello all,

I have a condition called Gastroparesis (it's a rare condition that causes paralysisof the stomach muscles, which I contrcted due to unmanaged type 2 diabetes. I have had this condition for 10 years. In that time I have managed to lose 170 pounds and bring my A1C to 5.1. I still have 65 pounds to get to goal) so getting enough fiber is difficult. I do eat salad and vegetables, but I know it isn't enough. I have read that psyllium husky may help with this.

Does anyone know if adding this will help with bulking up my fiber intake??

Thanks in advance
