[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1975563, member: 232698"] A fellow early riser [USER=493821]@Spl@[/USER]! I was halfway to work and after an hour was still stuck in a complete traffic gridlock due to a heavy snow shower when my boss called and said we're closed for the day - took me another hour and a half to get back home! Despite all that my planned 24 hour fast / OMAD is going well. I got some sharp hunger pangs in the traffic jam, probably caused by stress, but rode them out and didn't cave in and buy anything when I nipped to the loo at a garage. Not that there is much low carb fare amid the crisps and chocolate. I'm having bone broth today - had my first taste of that when I got home and liked it. I bought some fancy schmancy stuff from Ocado, ridiculously expensive but I am letting it down a bit with water so a day's worth should only cost around £5.00. Too expensive long term really, so I will try to make my own. I had only been easing into low carb when I first tried OMAD (well, I call it a 24 hour fast) and was really surprised how easy it is. The hardest thing I find is not overeating when I have my "breakfast" meal - a few bouts of indigestion later and I'm cured of that! I probably should try to move the "breakfast" meal to earlier in the day but that's not really practical, so will have to be careful not to overeat. I was having too many vegetables, in a face-stuffing habit. I am still having rather more protein than I should but carbs are coming down to less than 30g for the day now. Weekends are my barrier, but I have managed to cut carbs out of my diet and not lapse even when home all day so far. I thought today would be very tough because of the stress earlier, but I'm fine. I am looking forward to dinner though! Lamb steak, sweetheart cabbage with butter, then 10% fat greek strained yoghurt with double cream and ground flax on the menu. [/QUOTE]
