I'm losing weight again after a 1.5 year stall

I can’t “like” anymore.

You get a certain number per day (maybe 50?). You may have used them up for the day.

(Candice) #48

I haven’t been able to do it at all for two days.

(Doug) #49

Something is indeed wrong then, Candice. An administrator needs to look at your account. Have you made any gremlins mad at you lately? :wink:

Doug!!!

Rocky looks like my Max(passed in 2010):heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I don’t think anyone’s aware of my presence!!

I was able to like before messing around with my username (it was my full name at first. :joy:)

Candice, there’s a post that describes the trust levels for the forum. You get more ‘likes’ as you “level up,” and you’re now listed as a Basic User, not just a Visitor. Your likes should never have been at zero, as far as I know, though, and should have increased in number at ‘Basic User.’

You might have reset your account to zero, in effect, by changing your user name, but there should be some likes there, no matter what, as far as I know.

I upgraded your level. Hope that helps.

(Candice) #53

THANK YOU! Still no likes😩

(Candice) #54

No likes again today.
But I love two Keto dudes!!

I’m bingeing on your podcast!!

I participate in the IDM program and the first advice I received from my coach was to get off OMAD. The body adapts to the pattern, and it’s too much like conventional calorie restriction unless you eat enormous meals apparently. Anyway, it worked for me to switch to eating two meals and bump up my food intake on eating days - no more stall. Good luck!

Thanks for the input. I was following Carl’s method because it worked for him. While it’s hard to tell, it seems to be working for me.

If I’m going to have 1g of protein/kg of lean body mass, that turns into one enormous meal/day.

I had to struggle not to wake my hubby with a loud guffaw on that one! :rofl: :clap: :+1:

Well @carl, I too have been effectively stalled over the last year or so and 'have been hovering in the 290’s all that time. I followed your lead about two weeks after you and shifted to a one-(really fatty)-meal-a-day regime. 5 lbs came off in the 2nd week and another 5 in the week after. Then another 5 over the last week and today I hit 278lbs.
Is my stall truly over? I don’t know. It feels like it though.

I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration.

(Chasity Hedges) #60

how did you cook your pork belly? And what did you eat with it?

(Dom DePlume) #61

Thanks for this, Carl. I’ll be interested to know how well this works for you over time. I’ve been flat-lined for about 3mo since losing my freshman 30 in about 9 weeks. I’ve been suspecting too high a protein-to-fat ratio is the culprit. What I want to know is: WHAT ARE YOUR MEALS LOOKING LIKE. I think it would be a SERIOUS aide to people to hear amounts, portion sizes, etc. Some of us really have a hard time figuring out how to get that much fat into a meal, even eating OMAD. Maybe do some good tracking and scale reporting over time. If this works like you’re experiencing, is do-able over time, and sustainable, this may be a big help to many (but with your proper disclaimer of YMMV).

Keto on in satiety, brother…

(Ellen Ellis) #62

This is as close as I have found to my own dilemma. I have been told to never go below 1200 calories but since eating keto I am often full at 900 and have a hard time eating enough food to reach 1200.
I have never had a big appetite but poor food choices caused almost 50 lbs of overweight. I have lose almost 20 of those pounds on keto but often feel “stuffed” rather than satiated. Now I’m gonna try just eating till I am full and see if the weight loss continues.

Thanks Carl, I’ve been stalled a couple of months although not too worried about it because I’m SO HEALTHY!!! Which is amazing and what really matters. But I’ll have to think about maybe tightening up my routine and getting serious about intermittent fasting. Thanks for continuing to be so open about all of your n=1 work.

(carl) #64

Wow! Great job.

(A ham loving ham! - VA6KD) #65

Thanks Carl, but unfortunately the drop was short lived. Without changing anything, I started gaining about a month after that change and I’m still gaining as of now. I can’t figure out for the life of my why…

Did you continue your downwards trend at least?

Edit (10 Sept 2018): I’ll throw in an edit here since I didn’t know Carl was going to use my post in the podcast (what a nice surprise!) and I’d hate for anyone to be discouraged if they see that I’ve been slowly gaining…

Even though I’m gaining a little, my clothes are still getting looser. I think I may have worked out a correlation to the weight gain and that’s the vastly increased exercise I started around the same time. As Carl mentioned for his story, the highly fatty OMAD was not sustainable for more than a few weeks (for me at least). It just got too boring.

It is interesting however, to note that an almost 100% fat OMAD shift produced a step-change in my weight setpoint after being stalled for so long. I’ll look at it as a tool to add to my keto tool box. KCKO it is!
