I have been so busy, that I completely forgot to post on Tuesday, which is when I am trying to post now. Okay, so as my title states, yes intermittent fasting does work. It did great this first week for my current weigh-in. I lost 3.9 lbs, I was very happy. I feel I can intermittently fast in the mornings, and then have lunch, and then dinner. Which keeps my calorie intake lower. This is what I will be doing from here on in. I think it was a great success, and I hope on Sunday, I have another successful weigh-in. I am so happy to see the number going down on the scale. So very happy. The intermittent fasting is paying off and is worth it. Now to just continue doing what I am doing. When I fast, by the end of dinner, I am less than 1000 calories, so I need to eat a little more during the day. Because eating more at night is not a Continue Reading
Ketogenic Dieting
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Almost half of children, and young people, with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures Continue Reading
Holidays & Weight Management Update
So yeah I have seriously gone MIA, but have returned, have some good and bad news for you. Bad news: I gained weight lol, I blame myself and the holidays hehe. Good News: I have discovered serious juicing! I was doing fine with my eating up until after my birthday, then I slowly progressed to not eating as well, by the end of December I had already discovered juicing with Joe Cross after watching his 2 documentaries. Then found him on Facebook. He offered a 5-day plan for free, and we jumped on it, as in my fiance since he stopped smoking, has gained weight, and was never unhealthy, but it does cause me concern, so he will be trying the juicing, but not as intense as I will. So after joining his support group, and the challenge which will run for 5 days, I choose to go for 60, which is what he did and made it. If he can, I can Continue Reading
Where Has Time Gone?
I feel like I have been gone all summer, and that is not like me. There are so many things going on in my life. So what have I been up to. Well I believe I mentioned before I am dieting, and that has been interesting. I had some times where I would gain, then lose what I gained, and gain again. Oh my gosh it was getting me frustrated, but I am learning what works for me. So basically I had been yo-yo-ing lol. This morning my heart sank because I thought I gained 5 lbs it turned out I lost 5.4 lbs, which is the most in one week, yay. I try to average 2 lbs a week. I'm so glad I made a mistake lol. I have also been keeping up with my fanlistings, those are going well, and also got back into making YouTube videos, mostly hauls, nail related, I have extended a little into a few prepping hauls, we are not hardcore,but sometimes I wish we Continue Reading
Weigh-in #19 ~ A Comeback!!!
I have done a comeback, and that is good, it means I can recover and my own pep talks are helping, thank goodness for that. I suppose everyone has slip-ups and I am not an exception. I know this is going to be a struggle, and I know I will get to a place in my mind when I am going to be triumphant over this, and it will come as second nature to me. Thank goodness. So for this weigh-in, I lost 2.4 lbs, exactly what I gained last week, so really I haven’t moved anywhere, wait actually, I have, even though I haven’t lost more. At least I am not gaining, right? Now for the photo. I’m glad I am heading in the right direction. I just got to keep it up. I can do this, thank you for all your silent supporters, I know you are there, and I appreciate it. Till next timeEmily Continue Reading
