Going back to basics


(Brenna) #1

I’m thinking of going back to basics and not doing fasting right now.

I live in the land of the midnight sun and because of all the crazy schedules, I cant get a good sleep schedule in right now.

Its crazy around here.

I am still having lingering hunger pangs and can’t quite figure out why.

it doesn’t happen when I eat beef or tuna salad. Eggs aren’t working for me lately.

and apple cider vinegar is making my stomach burnt like crazy.

any advice would be much appreciated.

Don’t know exactly what are your goals, but, whatever they are, you are doing the right thing priorizing your sleep. Maybe try googling Matt Walker about sleep. All the best.

If you are still hungry then I think you aren’t eating enough fat. Good fat. Add butter to your coffee. Add olive oil to everything, (One doctor once said…”think of every meal as an excuse to put olive oil in your mouth”)

Look up fat bombs. End the last meal of the day with a fat bomb or two. My favorite is chopped salmon bits, basil, cream cheese.

When you have enough good fat, you can easily go 16-18 hours or more without feeling hungry.

I found the apple cider vinegar gave me heart burn, and a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth all day, so I buy the capsules instead now and take them.

If you are still hungry, make sure you are getting enough proteans and fats. I also love fat bombs, as Katie has mentioned in the previous reply; although I like the sweet ones, there are a lot of different recipes here on the forum for different ones.

I like to eat them after a meal as a desert treat.
I hope that you can figure out what works for you and if you have any questions for the members here, ask and I am sure you will get some great replies that will help. Take care.

Definitely stop with the ACV, it’s supposed to help you not give you gut pain.

You’ve been at this for a while now Brenna, you should be listening to your body. Fasting is optional so if it isn’t working, don’t do it. I’m not sure what you mean by fasting. EF or IF? I think it’s best to keep mixing the routine. Fast, eat regular for a couple of days, eat when you’re hungry, don’t when you’re not.

How many meals are you eating? It’s probably okay to do TMAD if you were eating less often than that. But I think you have a good idea of what you need to do.

No particular food is absolutely necessary on KETO, so eat Beef and Tuna if that’s what you’re craving to satisfy your appetite. I believe when we are eating healthy choices our cravings for particular foods is our body telling us what it needs Follow that as long as it isn’t telling you to eat something like potato chips. :grin:…you got this. :cowboy_hat_face:
