Trying to eat a bland diet for a couple days. Saltine crackers, chicken broth, milk. I believe my body it protesting all the salads and raw vegetables I've been eating lately. Feeling better today but will wait a few days and have more cooked vegetables with a rare salad.
I was able to go back in my FS history so I could see what I was doing when I lost 53 pounds. From August 1,2017 through March 24, 2018 - 7 months I lost 53 pounds. I was new to FS and didn't it food on days I ate off plan. I remember having potato chips and dip days every 2 or 3 weeks! I didn't weigh on the first of the month all the time, but I came up with this history:
Aug 2017 10.4 pounds average 895 calories, 44.59 fat grams, 85.35 carbs
Sept 2017. 10.2 pounds
Oct 2017. 2.4 pounds
Nov 2017. 12.8 pounds
Dec 2017. 3.8 pounds
Jan 2018 5.8 pounds
Feb 2018. 3.6 pounds
March 2018. 4.0 pounds
Total pounds. 53.0
Average calories ranged from 754 to 895
Average protein grams 32.5 to 45.91, usually around 40
Average carbs 70.06 to 100.77
Average fat grams 26.75 to 44.59
I'd be thrilled with those numbers now but aim for higher protein. People will say calories are way too low but I was doing IF just having one main meal, often lots of vegetables in a stir fry. Minimal processed foods. I negotiated with my doctor to allow me 1/4 bagel or 1/2 to slice of bread with hot chocolate. I remember making smoothies a couple times a month with triple berry blend from costco, adding in almond milk, maybe pineapple or orange juice and a little honey. I mixed a can of tuna often with mashed up avocado and chopped nuts and wrapped in lettuce. Was really eating less processed food. I also started walking and after a month or so averaged at least 5 miles a day and then tried to do more walking 10 miles in my neighborhood quite a few times. Things fell apart when allergy season started and I couldn't walk so much, plus it get too hot to walk in the summer. And Girl Scout cookies really did me in. Took over a year, maybe 2 but I gained it all back. Now I've got knee issues and am lucky if I can walk to the corner!
