Going on to day 5 of my weight sticking. A bit bewildered. I've pretty much always lost weight on workdays. Yesterday I loaded and unloaded 1200lb of product...twice. Then I did some good walking (not 10000 steps like I used to because of my knee but 4000 plus which is as good as I've done lately). I didn't quite eat OMAD as I got an airfryer and had to sample about 1/2 a fried chicken breast (keto of course). So I have to think a bit further out of the box maybe to get things going again. I'm running at about 1100-1300 calories a day and I'm feeling basically back to normal physically. Yesterday moving all that weight felt like it used to. When I was fasting I was breathing harder, moving slower so my energy is good. I've confirmed this morning I'm still well into ketosis. Clearly I am in a plateau I need to break:
Options I see to consider:
Going into another brief fast (like 2 or day). My least favoured option at this point.
Starting a on/off day eating fasting pattern with 48 hours rather than 24 between feeds. Probably can get my head around that if necessary.
Something a bit radical maybe but considering trying that bacon only eating for a bit that I've read about. But I'm not convinced its not BS. I think it was claimed 20lb lost in 30 days? But the guy pushing it says he was eating 2lb of bacon per day!!! While it sounds like an interesting solution...god knows I love bacon, thats a lot of sodium. I need to read more from more sources before I go that route.
OMAD but severly limiting my calories until this kickstarts. At this point properly my preferred option. Logic being still keep up the ratios but severely limit all fat carb and protein forcing the body to feed off fat by way of it being the highest percentage macro.
Lastly, OMAD but a period of eating bacon and eggs only. Which actually had been my plan coming out of the fasting into solid foods but I got distracted by my excitement to learn keto cooking.
In any case whatever I try, not really point doing much different until I get past the BBQ "cheat meal" friday night. But the more I think about this the more I think I want to try the bacon & eggs idea. a) I can eat bacon & eggs for 1 week no problem b) i have to recheck the nutrition numbers, but I believe I'll be at less than 10g of carbs per day thx to that "mix". Worst case scenario? I don't lose a lb next week, but I don't gain and still well fed. My ex lost 50lb which for her was a lot (i think she started at 160) and she swears by "eat as much bacon and eggs as you like" as part of her strategy to get there. *Note* She was able to go to the gym and put a lot of miles on the treadmill almost every day of the week as well.
Otherwise, love my new little air fryer! Got it on sale for only 79 bucks canadian and for one person its just fine. I made a batch of fried chicken breasts and next I'm going to make keto coconut shrimp with it. And buffalo cauliflower florets!
Lastly, reallllyyyy want to have a satisfying BM. Every time I try since my last 2 days ago, all I'm getting is gas. Lol. Happy humpday!
