I’ve been intermittent fasting for years. However, since I quit drinking, I have 2 meals a day. Late lunch and a dinner. I’ve been trying to get some fruit in before lunch but that doesn’t happen til after 10:30 am the earliest or sometimes noon. I’m usually no food after 8 pm. I don’t snack much. Some nuts and raisins now. Healthy lowering cholesterol nuts. And some sugar free chocolate after dinner.
Not eating doesn’t usually effect my mood or blood sugar. It’s not for everyone. Some people got to eat. But I really like the convenience of 2 meals a day.
Not that anyone asked MO
But I have lost 50 pounds since my sober journey and I’m keeping it off.
First week weigh-in
Down 1.7 lbs
I know this trend won’t continue without more effort as it coincides with giving up the drink. But sure does feel like a nice start!
Goal for this week - less chocolate
189.6lbs.
I think I’ve over done it. I’m not trying to loose weight anymore. But watching my cholesterol no steaks no burger no fried food no Mayo no cheese etc……and my no sugar thing……… is I think making me loose more weight than I need to.
I’ll figure it out.
Yes you will figure it out. If you are losing more than you want, consider adding more nuts, hummus, avocado, olive oil, beans, potatoes, all nutrient dense, heart healthy, higher calorie foods.
Happy weigh-in today. Down 3.5 lbs over the past 2 weeks. These check-in’s are really making me think about my diet. Still hoping to get some control over sugar. Mostly chocolate. I’ve gotten back to spin class which is early morning. Couldn’t do that if I was still drinking!
I always thought of those heavy twenty pound bags of cat litter that I use to haul around the house when I lost my first twenty. Keep up the great work.
