I think he means a doc with a clue about this stuff, though, not yer average clueless one.

Yeah, I realise thatā€™s what he means. Just trying to point out theyā€™re pretty short in supply!

(Running from stupidity) #23

Couldnā€™t agree more. My current doc is awesome and I keep her updated, but I canā€™t see that I would have bothered with most of my past ones.

@lisylooby Actually, I was amazed that when I signed up with my current GP last year, he actually appeared to know what I was talking about when I said something about my ketogenic diet.

Of course, heā€™s retiring in a couple of months. ~Boy, that lasted a long time!~

How are you doing? Cheering you on!

(T DFDFFDF) #27

College has started and im enjoying it. Ive been eating keto for the past few days, and am hoping to do so for another 2 to 3 more days. I give myself a 45 minute eating window a day

So youā€™ve stopped the extended fast and gone to IF?

(T DFDFFDF) #29

Yes exactly, im trying to mimick what i did before my 8 day fast; im sure iā€™ll be succesful by doing that. After a few days iā€™ll start the water fast

I think that is a great idea. Iā€™ve got to the end of my extended fast and will switch up to IF now. Always a good idea to ease into it :slight_smile:

(T DFDFFDF) #31

No way, thats good to hear. Was it hard?

(Lisa ) #32

Iā€™d built up to it so it was familiar territory. I did have some trouble with fatigue around day 6-7 and did utilise bone broth. Cramps were a problem, but to be fair it has been extremely hot and I was no doubt dehydrated. Magnesium and potassium supps helped, as well as Himalayan salt on everything.

But all in all a good experience, 7kg lost (15lb) over the two weeks. Technically cut about half a day short as my dietitian this morning told me I had to stop lol.

(T DFDFFDF) #33

Ive prepared some bone broth at work and am going to use it when needed. So have you reached your goal weight ? Its rude to ask for a womens weight looool

(Lisa ) #34

Not rude at all. I was already at my goal weight (actually had surpassed it!). Have lost 45-50kg in total which is 100-110lb. I stopped weighing myself when I reached a high weight 3 years ago so Iā€™m guessing the total loss is closer to 110lb. I have a normal BMI and 29 inch waist. Iā€™ve been working on building some muscle as well so weight doesnā€™t really matter too much to me.

(T DFDFFDF) #35

Thats a lot of weight lost. When it comes to building muscle what do u do? Calistenichs is really interesting

(Lisa ) #36

Free weights. Bouldering. Functional, compound movements. HIIT. So yeah some calisthenics too. And a heck of a lot of stretching.
