I don't have this problem when I stick to meat/egg.

So tonight I will be eating roast.

I think that's why I really like this fast, I'm not craving like I usually do!!
Don't get me wrong TOM is coming and I have thought once or twice about eating a whole chocolate cake ugh It's a life long strugle.

I'm gonna stick with it as long as I can & only if I see good results. At the two week mark, I'll decide to continue for another two weeks or switch things up again. I do plan to relax for thanksgiving day though.

So far today I feel like I haven't really stuck to the fast even tho I pretty much have, just not ideal.
Today I've had.....
7 strips of bacon (way too much)
some hard aged cheddar
1 uncured pepperoni stick
A diet coke and barely enough water!
I guess it doesn't sound as bad after typing it out but it's 230pm and I should have eaten more by now.
I have the WORST taste in my mouth from ketosis. I was in the darker purple last night I'm happy about that because a few days ago there wasn't even a trace.
Hope everyone is having a successful egg meat day

I keep super dark chocolate both at home and in my desk at the office just for this very reason. That's one thing that is non-negotiable.

I have 90% lint bar at home and it's so bitter I really think I might have a tiny nibble when I get home tho?

Hi everyone,

I am another lurker out of hiding I was thinking of doing this but was wondering how you keep yourself..ermmm.."regular" during a meat and egg fast?

Sorry if TMI

[kimmiejean]

Ya'll have room for one more??? The past couple of months all I've done is gain. I lost both my 21 year old kitty's within a week of each other (they were sisters that I raised from 2 days old)in September and then we moved into the "city". Can you say STRESS??????? Now I'm going on job interviews and unpacking again I'm just STRESSED!!!!

I've done this before (lost 80 pounds in 2000) and I've done meat and egg fast before. I'm thinking this is exactly what I need!!! So I'm in. I only am able to check in once a day, but I will let ya'll know how I'm doing!

Everyone seems to be doing AWESOME!!!

[portcop01]

Welcome kimmi.

[kimmiejean]

THANKS!! I have tons of steaks in the freezer, so I will be eating well! Looking forward to starting tomorrow, making my list of what I want to make.

I've always had issues in that deprtment so I try to take fiber daily and that doesn't always work. I found smooth move tea and it WORKS!!!!!

[Snoangel]

Welcome Kimmie happy you're joining us!

I had 3 eggs from our chickens for dinner with some cheese and sour cream
I'll eat a burger patty if I'm hungry in a lil bit.

I'm not expecting a loss in the morning, maybe even a small gain because of all the salt and TOM on the way. I will still weigh just to see tho.

[readyfredy]

I ended up eating 2 eggs and 3 peice bacon for breakfast, 3 hardboiled eggs and mayo for lunch, and a chicken breast for dinner. Am hoping to break into 150s tomorrow!

[portcop01]

Well I had
2 eggs
3 coffee with hwc and co
6 oz pork chop

That's all you ate today? Do you not have an appetite?
It just doesn't seem like much food at all. I had trouble eating today also...

[sasonnier]

Hey all, so I have a few questions...What are the benefits of an egg and meat fast besides kick starting weight loss...Does it help knock the body into ketosis faster? Also, I tend to still be hungry after 2 or 3 eggs...do you guys really experience appetite suppression? Also, I would probably go way over on my recommended protein amt...do you guys keep track at all? or is it not necessary b/c you aren't getting glucose from veggies... Thanks! I'm really thinking about trying this b/c I'm having a helluva time picking NK back up (not that I was ever solidly there to begin with).

[Trigger828]

oh yea. scale was sweet.

another 1.8 down this morning.

2 days---total 3.9


One more day for me only. I have some meals I am missing. sauteed mushrooms, alfredo sauce and all that stuff


3 days will be a good limit for me only because I don't want to push, overdo, or go crazy getting down the scale. I want relaxed, peaceful, acceptance of plan and learning to control it etc.

today is

3 scrambled eggs, 4 bacon
tuna with alot of mayo
3-4 baked chicken thighs (love that crispy skin)

some beef sticks, pepperoni or something small to take the edge off if required.


Thanks for starting this thread. I love it Foods I love, weight off the scale. GOOD COMBO!!

[portcop01]

Oceana no I do not have appetite at all,but if I don't eat more I'm not going to lose weight,so today I MUST EAT MORE !!!! I've been up down now 7 days with 166-165.2 I did lose .4 yesterday but I was there a week ago.i no for sure when my cals are low I don't lose but my # are 83-18-2 just not enough food so my body think its starving.

[snowdancer79]

I've been stuck @ 190 for 2 weeks, and although I did have some cheese, yogurt, and HWC, down 4 lbs in 2 days. M/E is so great for breaking through mini stalls.

[portcop01]

Snowdancer79. What have you been eating?post your menu for us! Thanks

[pinky45]

Well, I was 192.1 yesterday and am still the exact same today. Maybe tomorrow a loss...? Hope everyone else is doing awesome!

[sasonnier]

Snowdancer and trigger- congrats on the loss!

Welcome Kimmie!

I agree Becky- I'd love to see some sample menus from ppl. I think I'm gonna give this thing a shot. I will be making cheese omelets for breakfast and HWC in my coffee- but other than that I hope to keep it dairy free. Is anyone else adding in cheese at all?

For lunch and dinner I plan on having some chicken or leftover steak/meatballs.

I also intend to make my own mayo today :-)

Good luck everyone!

[portcop01]

Sasonnier! Welcome,,,,I can't eat lots of cheese I no it stalls me but I do hwc and that's ok,
