I did the diet for a year and half ... could never IF before that diet but was very natural to do the IF on ketosis. While my eating window of 6-8 hrs worked wonders, any smaller window than 6 hrs or a longer fasting of 23-36 hrs messed me up. I’ve heard this from a few other women on this diet as well. So you might want to stick to the window that works for you. <br /><br />I am now on a mostly gluten free soy free sugar free vegan diet due to a health issue (not caused by keto) and i’m hoping this is just a temporary please my body needs to go through. And I can’t do IF anymore and my insulin spikes are crazy - so i’m trying to eat protein with every meal - it’s esp. hard when travelling. I keep telling myself my most repeated parenting mantra - this is just a phase and this too shall pass.

Maybe it is for a different age group with different life circumstances. We live in a 47sqr m apartment and that will not change soon so I need all the trics anyone can think of.<br /><br />As for intermittent fasting - I don’t eat as frequently as others but after trial and error discovered my “fasting” caused some of my migranes (I dont eat carbs so I think it was the fasting). Im also worries about the ketotic state people are trying to achieve . Ketones are dangerous to a developing brain (which is why pregnant women must eat every few hours to avoid it) so Im not sure they are safe for adult long-term. Can they harm brain plasticity? I didnt see enough research proving fasting is safe (although intermittent fasting is probably not so ketotic). My current nutrition is based on vegetables and fruit, protein and plant basd oil (mostly in the form of nuts and Tahini) and I feel the strongest I felt in a few years. I eat carbs ones or twice a week and processed sugar twice as well. Also dried dates almost every day but always with nuts to balance the sugar. The best addition to our nutrition is loads of green leaves in many ways, especially in shakes. Lets see if I can keep it up while I add more runs to the schedule.Ronihttp://wardrobehistology.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-70691279067299340552018-08-04T23:14:13.628-04:002018-08-04T23:14:13.628-04:00The Marie Kondo book is absolutely horrifying, a g...The Marie Kondo book is absolutely horrifying, a good hate-read if you're into that sort of thing. Like, as a kid she was so obsessed with decluttering that she'd throw out things that belonged to family members without telling them.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486825963523271562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-42239709922915937092018-08-04T20:06:13.395-04:002018-08-04T20:06:13.395-04:00I do so appreciate your spirit.

I think th...Oh dear, I have so much I want to say. I think this is a beautiful and brave post.<br /><br />Six boxes? I would consider it good if I got through six boxes in a day. and I don't think of myself as marginal. Yesterday I did 7, today I've only done 3 although I had hoped for 10. Considering that I just did something that caused my back to flare up and I am lying on the floor with my feet up on a chair, I may have to be happy with 3. But as soon as I can move, I will do my stretches and strengthening exercises, as I can, and we will see. I don't think one should hold oneself to anyone else's perceived standard.<br /><br />Does that mean the Empreinte bras fit again? Or didn't fit, were top beautiful to let go of, and now they fit? That is wonderful. I'm all for holding on to things you love. I fit into things I hadn't worn for years because I was too big for them, and now I'm not. I got rid of a lot though, not because Marie Kondo told me to, but because I released all my black, or most of my black. It wasn't because it isn't my best color, which it isn't, but because I felt heavy and almost sodden and listless whenever I wore it. I realized I would probably never go back to black and those clothes needed to go to someone who would love them.<br /><br />I like that the book has helped with a shift about your diet. I haven't read it, but I've read a lot on that subject. My problem was never knowledge, it was believing enough in my ability to make the right choices for me when everyone else seemed to think differently. I strugg;ed a while because no one I know locally eats like I do: mostly protein and fat, vegetables, and some fruit. I eat a lot of fat and a goodly amount of protein. There is something about living in the southern United States and carbs. My step-daughter's family eats almost the opposite of what I eat, so sharing a meal with family often becomes a fraught thing but we are getting better at negotiating, and respecting each other's choices. I do occasionally have a grain (I have a weakness for corn tortillas, and I'll occasionally have sticky rice, which I tolerate better than the other varieties. But those are rare. I often go for months without eating either and try to do so only when I really want them, and not for some emotionally destructive reason. Besides, I have found that neither of those items, for me, starts the addictive cycle of carb craving that I have struggled with most of my life. I still occasionally get sucked in by social pressure and then relapse. But it gets easier not to give in. I love food, and cooking, and the only way to not let it control me is to control it. I firmly believe carb and sugar are an addiction. They most definitely are for me. <br /><br />I don't believe in being a fanatic about anything, even diet, although there are things I have to avoid because I am celiac, and I do maintain rules, because diet and carb load really affect my arthritis and my pain levels. Mostly I am more interested in being pain-free than in eating something that will be temporarily delicious, but a life time of cultural programming can be hard to overcome. All any of us can do is just get through our days as best we can.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-88456541652192645132018-08-04T16:39:28.987-04:002018-08-04T16:39:28.987-04:00I am so glad you got the book...both literally and...I am so glad you got the book...both literally and figuratively. Although I backslid a bit on the carbs while camping...even though I did a lot of preparing ahead , I still feel better than I have for a long time. The fasting is not that hard and my sugars are the best they have been in twenty years. My son is doing the program as well and has had wonderful results. My sister is working on doing it as well, but is not quite committed to it yet. I have been fasting once a week for 36 hours (my metabolism was very messed up), but for the last few weeks have been doing what you do, as I found it easier for my summer routine. It is more flexible than most people realize. <br />Glad to hear you found some treasures while unpacking!
