Struggles of fasting and rebounding


(Carolyn aka stokies) #1

I am so close to both my Keto-versary and 100 pounds dropped. I was down to 191 at one point after consecutive fasts, but then I bounced back up to 195 over 3 days. I am 193 now and just need to remind myself of the overall downward trend. I was wondering if some of the inflammation may be from my biking. I seem to lose all the gains from my fasts now that I am back to regularly (bi)cycling. Anyone else bump into something similar? My eating has been clean and on par with my keto style of eating, hitting right macros and hydration.

Thoughts? I know, I feel I am not being clear or precise enough to garner any input. I am just curious by nature. I am not fretting over it - biking is my sanity and if it means slowed losses, so be it. I see body comp shifts despite the scales anyway.

Here’s to hoping your keto day was good to you!

Wow! 100lbs dropped is amazing well done!
I think a fluctuation of 3-4lbs up and down is nothing to worry about, just normal fluid shifts.
I often put on 1-2lb after exercise.
KCKO!:blush:

It’s gotta be inflammation from muscle tear and rebuild, right???

Thanks for the encouragement! KCKO for sure!
