As I keep forgetting to weigh myself…
My long pants (I rarely wear them now as we have warm weather and the serious black jeans aren’t comfy or needed) are just fine for my morning walks if I use the 5th hole on the belt. We will see if things will progress here.
And it has nothing to do with maintenance but I can’t stand that I only told my SO and the carnivore thread… I have proof my (very very few this far) white hairs manage to go back to dark brown in about a week or maybe 1.5. Tiny thing but wow. I just wondered about this (in either direction). I know it’s a thing that a pigmented hair falls off and grow back white but changing the color during its lifespan? But I have found 2 that did that, changed color in the middle Others stayed white (more like silvery, my hair is shiny! sometimes I see a lighter brown and think it’s white but nope, just shiny and lighter than average).
Did you see or hear about such a thing? It was new to me!
As hair turns gray or white, yes, as long as the hair is still growing, it will change color “in the middle”. I think it’s pretty rare to have it turn back to having pigment though. Congratulations!
Thanks I heard about it from others on this forum but they are others, not me I never had such interesting benefits…
Before this, whenever I have found a white hair, it was all white. I have long hair so I would have a bigger chance to find a dark to white one if that would be common - though I had very very few white hairs this far… I surely will look out for these changes now Not a big significance but interesting to me.
I am doing good. I am however thinking about doing an extended fast since it has been a while since I have done one. Anyone want to join me, I was thinking next week, doing Tues.-Friday? Because Monday is a major eating holiday here.
Doing well. My weight is stable between 116-119. I’ve been working on intuitive eating a bit, while trying to be sure there isn’t anything I shouldn’t be eating that might trigger a binge lying around. I’ve been visiting and just went on a weekend camping trip (eating out), so the whole thing’s been thrown off a bit. Mom visit = not eating what I shouldn’t which = not eating much = losing 2 pounds. Trip = giving up and eating the carbage = gaining it back.
At the moment I’m just settling back to listening to my body, so no fasting yet, but good luck to you!
Weight wise not well, I seem to get slowly heavier and heavier (I mean, a jump in ever few years and stable weight otherwise)… But I will stop it. I am less food obsessed lately and fat fast days seem a superb idea now. Maybe it will finally give me EF too, eventually.
I am around 80kg. It’s about my heaviest ever, at least I had no scale when I weighed above on a very very unreliable one (I weighed myself twice in a minute, there was 2kg difference) and I automatically went down to 80kg again, even I couldn’t overeat to the point to get heavier (I love my genetics sometimes).
I was 69kg (67 without water weight but I probably don’t have water weight changes now) when I went keto several years ago. Since then I had zillion keto days, many carnivore-ish days and some off days (usually low-carb), lots of effort and planning and whatever. When I realized it doesn’t matter how well I get satiated, it’s impossible for me to eat at a deficit due to my high protein need and lowish energy need and taste regarding fattiness of my food, I trained and changed my ways (I buy and eat lean meat despite I like fatty meat - okay, I eat that too but I do my best to eat as lean as I just can, sacrificing some food joy… and even more importantly, I dropped my eggs and dairy, I mean lowered the amount, you can pry them out of my cold dead hands but I eat much less than before) and now added fat fasts so I should expect results this time.
I don’t. I pretty much lost hope. Surely it is somewhere and logic and experience says it will happen… But I just can’t believe it after all this time.
Good thing fat-loss isn’t one of my biggest concern. But I started it 14(?) years ago and I WILL finish. It’s not fun tracking but I can’t stop until I slim down. Just temporarily. I am too curious and want to see my vague numbers. They even help sometimes. At least fat fast is fun and very easy (easier than on vegetarian keto) and convenient. And useful. I think it suits me.
So… Hopefully things will change for the better. They already do, I think less about food especially on fat fast days Finally.
I’ve been wanting to do one soon to reset my system and maybe kickstart the fat loss cycle. Been waking up hungry past couple weeks and usually I don’t so it’s been annoying me. However, I’d have to time it for a Friday to Monday because I’m working out at a gym 4x week (M,T,Th,F) and I need to follow up each workout with some protein.
Weight wise and diet wise, I stay in my sweet spot.
Had a couple hiccups with meds and diverticulitis, but no matter how little or much I eat, I remain about 135.
So… it’s all good. Still on cruise control.
I’d be up for fasting Friday night to Monday night the following week.
I just really want to do a fast after the holiday weekend, USA’s Memorial Day, celebrates the beginning of summer cook outs mostly. Lots of grilled meats and salads.
I was not able to go past 24 hrs. The fridge died, we had just done a major shopping trip so it was loaded with frozen and fresh foods. I was stressed out so much, we had just had to replace our grill and the drinking water filter system as well. I ended up eating some things that had to be cooked because of the fridge situation.
I do plan to try again next Friday as the above issues are settled for now.
I’ll be attempting an extended fast this coming weekend. I like the new fridge, the new water filter system is working great, and hopefully the contractor to set up the new grill will get that done before the weekend.
No fasting. Hubby reminded me this weekend marks 32 yrs. of marriage, we have been a couple for over 50 yrs. now.
Also the grill was damaged and that became a major drama. The whole experience was very stressful and more costs involved as we had to rent a truck to pick up a grill that was already put together and no way it would fit our car. We spent most of yesterday dealing with all that. Finally got to use it for lunch today.
I think I will try fasting mid week, hopefully no dramas will come up. Wish me luck!
Congrats!
(Oh my good, my SO and I am together since almost 25 years now that I think about it… We have no marriage (it felt useless paperwork in my world) and no idea about when we met or got together, I am bad with dates… But I want to reach 100. We won’t even break the Guinness record for longest living persons at that point yet… It’s barely that now but those ages will go up in the next 75 years for sure.
I have plans, hence I need a good woe, among others.)
I diligently weight myself every morning since some time (I do my fat fast days and have lots of OMAD, it made sense to me. I am super hopeful anyway, even after many years of stalling and very occasionally gaining). Dressed (not to the same level, my room got too hot for my usual nightclothes), holding cups and my tablet or whatever, it’s just before I go downstairs, before the bathroom… But no one can expect me to put any more effort into this, it’s not like it matters anyway.
It seems I do weigh a tad less. Believable but -1kg or something (with my weighing circumstances sometimes I forget and weigh myself after drinking too, though the bathroom is done so I just put back the water… at my low accuracy, it doesn’t matter) is so tiny that it’s just a hint I may go into the right direction…? Whatever, it’s nice.
I weighed myself again, just my 2nd today, I never put any limitations to weighing as it makes no sense in my case. It’s more like -2kg so I actually believe I lost some weight. Okay, whatever. I continue my plans, frequent OMAD days and lovely fat fast days hoping they will lead to EF some day… Staying close to carnivore most of the time as usual, as well. I use all the good methods
Others stayed white (more like silvery, my hair is shiny! sometimes I see a lighter brown and think it’s white but nope, just shiny and lighter than average).
