Fasting, Fat-Adaptation, Metabolic Flexibility

[tortoise]

I was hungry 2 hours after my lunch. I had milk. Confession: it's chocolate milk. It's a problem for me. I solved the problem by drinking it all. So it's going to be a 20:4 instead of a 23:1 and I'm completely okay with that! It's still better than yesterday, and last month. I wish I could be the >10 day fast once a year type, but I'm not. I have to be in the consistent baby step group. The consistency part is hard!

woohoo! no problems with yesterday evening/night or this morning. I'm just starting to get hungry now and am planning to eat in 15 minutes.

If you're fasting for autophagy and have high stakes (like combatting cancer), then cream in coffee is a hard pass.

I would roll with the "mistake" for a month, consistently. If you don't like the results, tweak one thing for the next month, etc.

Makes sense - and I think that's what I'll do for awhile at least. Thanks!

i had 2 chicken wings last night at 5 pm and nothing until just now, which is some mozzarella and pepperoni cut up.

Did a little reading. Mistake! I'm finding conflicting information. Is my morning coffee, with cream, actually breaking my fast? I've read that anything under 50 calories is ok....and I've read that anything with calories is not ok. ARGH!

I have cut down from a couple of healthy glugs of cream to a tablespoon. Not sure I can go cream-less.

Whatever the consensus is - the scale is moving in the right direction so until it stops - I'll probably continue to enjoy cream in my coffee, lol.

it's not a mistake if you eat the evidence...

That is not a problem, lol. I found some cabbage rolls that I had put in the freezer last month and had two of those for lunch. Low carb of course - but very satisfying with meat and cheese. Not sure what's for dinner, maybe more cabbage rolls. Earlier I was thinking maybe soup of some sort of maybe even chili. But, since it's almost 3p and I haven't started anything - cabbage rolls is looking more likely, lol.

I love cabbage rolls.

Still eating once a day. Not hungry and not much even when it's time to eat. Listening to my body, and no food that I know are off limits, not even in the smallest amounts for now. Maybe later I can have some pizza that I've modified.
