I still can’t do EF but I pretty much decided on not eating before sunset for the unforeseeable future… (If I could keep it up for long, I probably could do EF too… But sunset is so early now that it’s just a very tiny and badly needed push.) Of course, if I get hungry or something, I eat. Today I needed my medicine food, I hate being sick even if it’s just a sore throat. It disturbs even my sleep… But it’s just for today. Yesterday I got strongly hungry so ate lunch. But my stupid late eating stopped for now, of course I focus on not eating after 6pm too, I just have very little control over it, it’s easier to prolong my fast a bit.
Considering it’s December and I have an unusually strong baking urge too, a tiny eating window is very much needed due to the carbs. And very easy due to the carbs too. That I try to minimize but it still will be more than usual.
@Janie: My condolences… My aunt died more than a year ago but it’s still so close to me… My family is so tiny… But you have your Dad, it’s great, I don’t have my parents since very long and often think about people who still have one or both… And in good enough shape as one of my relatives got severe dementia and anything but that ![:frowning: :frowning:](https://www.ketogenicforums.com/images/emoji/apple/frowning.png?v=9)
Same! I can’t even stay on higher-carb but I still go off a lot for reasons, I just come back pretty quickly. As long as my off days aren’t way too wild, don’t happen often and my on days are good too, it’s fine. I tend to overeat fat on and off alike (protein too but not to the same extent), that is a problem so I need some focus (or accept the consequences) on carnivore too. A tiny eating window would solve this problem, it’s just not trivial for me to have without a lot of carbs or some serious focus and planning. But I do put effort into it this month.
I wish success for all of us, whatever is the goal, fat-loss, maintenance, autophagy, showing everyone what we can do etc.!
