Okay Saskia...you learn something new every day...Wednesday. It it is the hump of the week; once you've gotten over it you're on the downhill run to the weekend.
Sometimes called Wonderful Wednesday.
This is a commercial for a car insurance company (maybe this is also Dan & Desmond at the end?)--
Good idea @DJC3 know I’ve told you this before but I only ever managed a maximum 23 hour fast so hats off to you on your 30hours. I stuck to eating in a one hour window for one month but I was very overweight and so had fat on board! I really can’t anymore now I’m slender. Max I reduce to is 2 meals but only if there is a reason like not hungry as ate late, Pilates class or just in a rush. Prefer the three small meals in 8 hour feeding window and 16 hours IF. Keeps me from feeling hungry and deprived which is how I used to feel when eating low fat.. let’s hope having reset this would help you to maintain it. I do also feel you should consider having another meter if only to run it alongside for a bit. Thinking of you x
Hi @ianpspurs you know what I eat from my daily diary! I don’t give quantities or breakdowns as I do not and have never analysed my fat to protein ratio just count my carb max up to 30. I would suspect though that I am much higher on protein than fat. I am nervous about lots of fat rightly or wrongly because of my high cholesterol and so tend to balance fat with protein. I also don’t eat masses of veg but really couldn’t do without my veggies. I do have a fair amount of diary and know you’re not keen but also lots of olive oil, nuts, seeds, fat free fage yoghurt ( as it’s same carb content as the 5%) it’s hard working out best way for you but intend to stick to my keto carb count and not worry too much about the other two as long as I maintain my bgs and weight at the level they are at and I’m happy with at the moment. Good luckPlea for help from those who are ITK. I watched the Phinney Q and A which at first glance seemed like motherhood and apple pie and had this lovely pie chart.
Trouble is, it is not clear to me if this is how each meal should look or each day? 2ndly, there is no attempt to get to the granular level i.e. what actually goes on a plate or in a bowl? 3rd issue is how I could make such a diet tolerable since I can't possibly see how I will find it enjoyable. This is a genuine plea as from what I can see/glean those members doing this/getting very close have lowest fbg/A!C. (Yes, my lab tests come back saying normal for A1C but I want better if I can sensibly manage it.)
Congratulations @Debandez well done you especially at this time of year
Thanks for the reply @shelley262. I am really starting to rue the day I delved into parts of this site and the links suggested. IF, OMAD, Keto, autophagy, macros (surely we eat meals not percentages?) and Uncle Tom Cobley. This is much more woe than help with a WOE
Thanks for that @dunelm Plugged details into the 2nd link and of the 2 meals suggested 1 was totally off limits for me - almond butter and almonds. I know there are alternatives but if that is the type of meal plan I have no chance - just as I expected
Good morning all
5.3 this morning. We are still digging out snow, over 10" here since yesterday (the heaviest in over a decade). I had plans to go shopping buy my street still isn't passable. It's becoming bitterly cold here as well because of the polar vortex (a pattern where cold air from the north pole shifts down). There are predicting the possible breaking of cold records.
Hugs for the weather. Makes me cold just reading about it!Good morning all

In my book it means half way through the week. In others something totally different!!
