PISS only 2 weeks in?

(Casey Brown) #4

Thank you, @Brenda! I’m female, 25, no diabetes, etc., about 25-30 pounds to lose would be nice, so maybe that’s why my body is like, “uh, no thanks” to losing weight quickly. I guess I’ll just KCKO for a few more weeks to get fat adapted and then hopefully feel like fasting in the future. I bought a blood glucose tester so I can test my artificial sweeteners, but I’m having troubles getting enough blood drawn to test! Small downside of never having had to use one before, I guess. :smiley:

Probably a dumb question but what does PISS stand for? I couldn’t see it in the acronyms.

Post Induction Stall Syndrome. I think it was used in Atkins. It’s been mentioned on the podcast before but I forget which one(s).

Ah thanks @Casey. I will now read up on it. :blush:

This might be pre induction stall syndrome…

Feel like fasting??? At 2 weeks? Why the interest now?
I am 2 YEARS into LCHF and have never been interested in fasting-mainly because it just wouldn’t really fit into my lifestyle. i usually make dinner nightly for my husband & I ( he is not LCHF & im sure would scoff at the idea of fasting) BUT it just happened that this week, one or the other if us were not home at dinner time-so I took the opportunity to try a fast to break a stall. I’m at 60 hrs of a 72 hr fast that will end with a ribeye dinner! I’m pleasantly surprised -the hardest part is not hunger -it’s just that I LIKE FOOD -& the mindset of always having to eat something throughout the day.

Took me 7 months to work up to feast fast cycle…

I’m on the downside of my first 72hr fast

I was keto for over 2 years before I tried extended fasting. I got really good at IF. I think is is important that you ate ready to fast before you do. Success is important!

Not to harp on the much repeated stuff, but don’t forget the benefits you’re paying yourself by switching the way you’re eating. Many have reported inches lost without the scale numbers moving. Some report prior maladies going by the wayside as they change over. I, personally, have mental clarity and tons of energy without the constant craving of hunger dictating my every move. You sound like you’re nailing it, so don’t let the scale dictate too much too soon! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the encouragement! I think my next step is to quit diet soda, because I still have cravings even after 2 weeks, and that must be what’s doing it.

What is KCKO?

This one I know! Keep Calm, Keto On

Thank you!!

That might help you more than you think. I had to quit them too. Aspartame gives me massive headaches afterwards. I don’t have a Keto/Gluck meter so I’m not certain why. Now it’s water or unsweetened tea. Both of those are fine for me.

Plain soda water is a good substitute. It has the fizz but no sugar. Apparently it has some potassium too and is alkalising unlike other soda drinks. No phosphoric acid either. Also it’s very hydrating.

Next step is good plain water :slight_smile:

Update: I fell off, but am back on (with my sister this time!!!) and I haven’t had a diet soda since I began and the weight is coming off much easier so far. Who knew??
