Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

My arms ache today. :) in a good way!


Had a cession with a chiropractor today, very interesting, he said its my hips out of alignment not my leg shorter .. And yes he can fix me. Lol

Also said that one of my vertebra in my lower back was twisted blocking my spinal "highway" for hormones and other things - asked me about my periods as sometimes a twisted blocked spine can cause issues with periods etc., told him my period was 8 days and had been very heavy prior to me taking the p only pill.. I know I hurt my lower back in that area when son1 was 16mth, kept getting on the table, I kept taking him off - had Physio for 2 mths to try and fix it.. It stopped hurting but seems it hadn't "truly" been fixed!

So hopefully he can fix me ;) and I am assuming the rack went out of use in the 1600's? Lol

Must say my back has stopped clicking when I cross my legs now. Have my 2nd appt with the chiropractor today.

I have been reading about the fast diet .. Intermittent fasting, which is also mentioned in the primal blue print.. But have not been sure how to do it. So will be giving this a go :)

Check this out on AMZN: The Fast Diet: The Secret of Intermittent Fasting - Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, Live Lon... http://amazon.co.uk/dp/1780721676

1st Fasting day today - which is like restricting myself to 500 cals - the steak got the better of me ;) but have kept them low (713).. Next time will do better..

The hardest thing apart from the desire to eat a big bit of steak, rather than my small bit- it looked and smelt yummy cooking .. So had a little bit more.. Was the "fear" of having nothing in my pocket just in case I was hungry..

Have had 3 cups lemon and ginger tea and loads of water .. Feeling ok.

Went to chiropractor again today ., he said what he fix'ed the other day has settled well.. Today he straightened a bone in my right foot that was out of place, and also clicked T4 - which has been causing my upper right neck and shoulder pain and possibly my head aches on my right side.. He also mentioned that T4 being out and headaches - plus right knee clicks are indicates of a gall bladder issues - advise was to increase my fish oil supplements - going to give it a go - next appt is on Monday :) he also was trying to realign my hormones ?? Was interesting - be nice if it works !

I need to get my fish oil tablets that the health guy advised last week,
Ooh not sure I could manage the fasting, good luck x
 
My scales were very nice to me this morning, after my low cal/ fasting day - which was interesting :) I've dropped 1kg over night lol - oh I know it's not a true WI ;) but happy me :) normally the book suggests about a pound per fast day loss... Looking forward to sat WI after a days normal eating !

Woke up and was not overly hungry - have not had breakfast yet either - but will enjoy my eggs and bacon soon :)

Will do it again next week too ..
 
Ooh IF, hope it works well for you. :)

Some stevia can have an odd taste, must admit sweet leaf is not my favourite. I like daforto which I buy off amazon. Still a little bit of stevia taste sometimes but not so strong. :)
 
OMG have not been "out" in years and went out to meet some mums from school - had a good time - even did some dancing lol

Lets see what WI is tomorrow ;) oh make that today lol

Well done but don't be disheartened if it creeps up a bit cos of the fasting, you should really wait a full week after starting something new to have an official weigh in........ I know I can't stick to that mind!
 
I know was just my Normal WI day lol .. I'll fast again on Tuesday, think I will start with just the 1 day a week and then go from there..

Feel crook today.. Had lunch at a cousins house yesterday .. Had some bits I don't normally eat - like some little sweet rolls, a fillo pastry pie, and a small bit of sponge cake, plus all the normal bits of meat, salads etc..

By 8:30pm my tummy was gurgling and bloating and I felt sick ... Ended up vomiting .. And then felt so much better.. Sigh ! So yup think eating wheat products doesn't agree with me! But I did enjoy eating them.. :(

Of all the bits I ate I think it is the fillo pastry pie that I liked the most - think I need to look at how to find gluten/ wheat free fillo pastry .,, as I make it at home too .. Just another thing to add to my list of not eating that again!

Mmm just thinking .. I starting loosing weigh after fasting (30ish hours) before my surgery - weight seemed easier to loose afterwards. Then I stalled a while later .. Then one Sunday I was unwell with cold/ flu and didn't eat much of any thing and my weight went down again.. It came back up coming off tramadol .. And I've been stuck at 88.5kg (ish) for a good month or more.. So my hypothesis is that the "fasting" days or low cal days helped restart my weight loss .,

There are some good results from this fasting thing,I just don't think I have the discipline, plus what I am doing at the moment seems to be working ok for me :)
 
I think it helps that my carb craving are much reduced, ok I still want choc - but choose dark choc 85% or dark peppermint .. It's too rich to eat a whole bar lol 4/6 bits is my Max limit ..
During TOTM

Plus on a fast day there's always tomorrow ;) also a fasting day still includes food - upto 500 cals for woman and 600 cals for men.. Ideally lol when I did my 1st day last week I did 700ish - plan this week is to fast on Tuesday :)

I don't think I would manage to deal with the stress of work on 500 cals for the day x
 
my mum is doing a greek diet which was in the Mail the other week that you have 2 fasting days (well about 600 cals) I add here that my mum is 71, only weighs 9st 8lbs but is also only 4ft 11" so she is a 14 & wants to be a 12 again!! She is finding it hard going though!

Well have been feeling really crook again today, vomited again this morning yuk! !!! Decided that today was a fasting day ;) in the hope I feel better, come tomorrow !

Came in at just over 700 cals ., still a bit high .. But can cope with that :)

More chiropractor today too - my T6 vertebra was out too .. He's said that my lower back and hips have/ are settling Nicely - but need to heal a bit before he does any further adjustments / my lower back is achy and I have tight muscles down the back of my left leg .. But he's happy with my progress :)
