My goal is to tick to my plan for the whole month. Which is to up the fat and lower the protein similar to the optimal diet. Brief description below.
The diet was hatched in Poland some 40 years ago by Dr. Jan
Kwasniewski, who started developing it while working as a dietician
for a military sanitarium in Ciechocinek, Poland. There he observed
that many of his patients were sick, "not because of any pathogenic
factors . . . but the result of one underlying cause -- bad
nutrition," according to his English language "Optimal Nutrition"
book. After experimenting on his family and himself, Kwasniewski
concluded that the ideal nutritional combo came from eating three
grams of fat for every one gram of protein and half a gram of
carbohydrates.
|
kateryna

Good luck Rich. I tried Dr. Jan's plan but the counting drove me nuts and getting the carbs in played havoc with my metabolism. So now I'm doing Dr. Jan's diet without any carbs, so basically carnivore, and it's working for me.
If you can stick to the proportions, it's a good plan.

  Hooray Lynn. I know this is hard. Seems like everywhere puts chips and salsa down on the table now a days. Bravo!

Thnaks I think after some time I will be able to know what is what as far as ratios. if I stay away from sugar I do not get cravings as i plan on keeping carbs around 50-70.
I think my problem is too much protein..One of the reasons why i keep falling off the wagon is I eat high fat and super low carb and I gain wight but my protein is was high as well.

Most of us can get away with not eating at all for a few weeks so relax.
Starvation mode is blown out of proportion in low carb community.

Glad it's works for you as well.

I usually eat only 2 meals per day. I'm sure it doesn't qualify as IF, but it works well for me. Sometimes I'll eat breakfast then not again until dinner time. Other days I'll skip breakfast, but then have lunch and dinner. I feel like I still get a lot of the benefits of not eating so often. I just sort of go with the flow. I eat when I feel like eating.

Don't feel rejected pretty kitty, you just want them around for the fun, not their problems. Problematic creatures they are. And they never shut up. Very needy. The Man in the Sky just gives us that lonely feeling when they aren't around so we will be more willing to put up with them. It's all a plan to continue survival. Buy yourself a nice new perfume or beauty item. yOu deserve it for being nice to them!
It passes without wine, tho wine is a great anesthetic. I have found replacements of a different male work remarkably well, and slow cooked meats & classical music too. 
Katie: I just want to say hooray! and that you are not far from your goal! And it's getting easier for you. The weight seems to be falling off of you!
I'm inspired...so..
I am going to try and IF today. I will put some beef and spices in the crock pot for tonight. Just iced tea/coffee til then. I want to get down into the 160's by this weekend. My goal is within reach also.

There you go. That's what I wanted. Competition and yOu back on task.
Reality is that I failed at IF today and had a chicken/cheese snack when I was supposed to wait for dinner. Further, they served beans and cheese accidentally when I ordered it without it, and I scraped the cheese off and, to my dismay,ate a small amount of re-fried bean material that was stuck to it thus probably turning myself into a big puffy frog tomorrow morning. I already feel my feet swell.  
The fish will most likely swim backwards. I will be again IF-ing tomorrow. Intent is the same, 160's is what I'm looking at asap.
