I just have a few questions regarding your experiences with becoming fat adapted.
I’m on Day 32, middle of my 5th week.
I don’t believe I had a lot of metabolic damage prior to this WOE so I don’t think it will take me too much more than a normal person to become adapted.
I definately feel my hunger dropping off.
I’ve had a BPC every day for the whole time, and lunch has steadily stretched from 12 to 1 to 2 to 3… and dinner too, and some nights I can’t even eat dinner. I know that I’m not getting enough food, but I’ve tried to live simply as to not overwhelm myself when I first started.
I’m eating roughly 1200 - 1600 calories a day, it changes daily.
Anyways, now I am finding myself much hungrier in the morning after my BPC, I can last it’s no big deal. I’m just wondering how hunger changes.
Which brings me to my questions;
When you ARE fat adapted, do you FEEL hungry? or is your body just happily munching on itself and that’s why you can go long periods without eating?
Did you drop your fat intake when you became fat adapted?
Did your hunger change as you approached fat adaption?
Did your weight loss pick up again as you became adapted?
If you use ketostix, did the results change at all? I’ve always had a trace reading up to 3mmol but it’s generally in trace a LOT. Im wondering when I can throw those things out lol.
I think I am in the popular stall stage, and I know there are internal processes at play so I’m not too worried about it. I’ve had a total loss of 14 pounds, with a total of another 31 pounds to lose, so not a great deal. I am hoping I get adapted soon because I really want to return to crossfit. I tried the other day and I had to return to no weights and couldn’t even run and finished 7 minutes later than everyone else. Lol.
