My modified version of the fat fast 5.8lbs lost in less than 3 days!!!!

[betty301]

Hi SouthernGirl. 5lbs?? You got this!!!

I drank away my lb up from yesterday.

I don't think I'll see the 180s until TOM comes/goes. I'm so close!!
And Hubby wants to go out to the sushi buffet for lunch tomorrow..gotta admit, it does sound pretty tasty. But not sure it's worth it.

Down 0.5lbs almost down to virgin weight woot woot

[SgtBrownsWife]

Hi ladies!!!

Christina congrats on your loss!!!

Allie, hang in there! I can garuantee that's TOM causing you trouble

Betty, you are doing great!

I woke up at my lowest weight this morning so no loss yet today. It is so odd that I seem to lose between maybe 11am-5pm everyday and barely ever in the morning. I have been cutting off food at 8pm so I don't understand it at all. I am wondering if I drink more fluid at night or something. I still hope to lose today

[Flavia]

I have been experimenting with eating supper earlier.....first I thought it made no diff but then slowly I started losing again....right now I eat supper at around 2pm and then I have time still to burn it off and my body can rest during the night and not digest.

Yeah! I sure hope you and Mary are right!

Having said that, I am being very careful today. I am noticing I lose weight more on weekends when I am away from the office. I suspect the stres and cortisol from stress are causing a bit of a slow down? When I am at peace and relaxed things just fall off.

Touch base later!

I feel like I lose pretty much no matter when I eat but I love waking up to a loss instead of waiting until the afternoon. I suppose a loss is a loss and I should be happy whenever I get it during the day but I want it in the morning darn it lol

That could defintely be true. I know I always gain something when I PMS whether it stays until my TOM or not I always gain and I think the majority of women do so I would think it was that for sure

[SgtBrownsWife]

I'm down .6 lbs so far today! Hopefully will drop mOre by 5pm

[Flavia]

So Question Mary. If u didn't look at the scale during the day wouldn't u then have a loss in the morning and be happy????? Since that is what u want?????

Congrats on yet another loss Lady!!!!! woot woot!!!!!

[Flavia]

I just weighed myself just to see and I am up 2.5lbs from this morning....llolololololol
I don't know how u do that!!!!!! too funny

[SgtBrownsWife]

I don't think I could go without weighing all day when I'm losing regularly. I would just die lol.

I am down another .4 lbs now making for a full pound again for the 5th day in a row woohoo!!

[Flavia]

[junkn]

hi guys! this WOE seems to be gaining a lot of popularity.

i saw this thread in the main forum: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...80-15-5-a.html

and then read about something called "nutritional ketosis" which seems similar to this WOE as well!

http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...ge-anyone.html

great info to have!

p.s. congrats on the continued losses!

Aww thank you it sure was hard. I am glad it's over!

[Flavia]

I got TOM arriving this week so I am expecting a gain any day now....so I will be green watching u guys all get to be skinny minnies while I bloat up......
I guess its Alie's and my turn now....lolololol

[AlieKatt]

It certainly is making the rounds!

[SgtBrownsWife]

LOL oh boy TOM is just so fun

[betty301]

the nutritional ketosis thing is based on books..one of which was co-wrote by a guy who wrote on the newer versions of one of the Atkins books..I think I got that right!
It's a lot more technical than Mary's 'program,' and a lot of the people are relying on there meter to make sure if they are indeed in ketosis. I got the meter but now I feel silly.

I was just coming on to say that I made a stuffed Bell pepper with cream cheese, jalapenos, BACON and shredded cheese

[SgtBrownsWife]

I felt the same way too. I was dying over here getting to see everyone else lose hahaha. I felt like when you are playing candy land and you have to pick a certain color to not be stuck anymore LOL

Drool that sounds good!!!
I don't see any problem with using stuff to see if you are in ketosis but in my opinion if you are losing as fast as we are and eating what we are you know you are in ketosis without a doubt plus it's nice to be able to just know your body and know what to do without using anything to tell you.

I only got to chapter 4 on the low carb living book since I have been so swamped with work. I hope to continue getting to read more of it soon. You can never know too much about losing weight the right way

I was almost ready to give up as I couldn't find much positive affirmation about high fat woe. Your enthusiasm is wonderful and so refreshing. I would like to sign on and take my time to read all the posts. Can you tell me what thread the diet is explained on?

Thanks to you all. I'll try it tomorrow.

Hi Carmi!!!!

I am so glad you have joined us!!

Our woe is very simple. I refer to it as LCHFMP.
I eat on average:
83% fat
9.8-13% protein
7.2% carbs

I eat on average 1,750-1,950 calories a day. You can adjust calories to whatever fits you and try to stay around those percentages. If you don't know your percentages now you can use carbs control on your iPhone or you can use fit day on your computer. Knowing your percentages is super important on this woe. That is pretty much it. It's very simple and I do not workout. I don't believe any of us workout at the moment. I have put a sample menu of an average day for me below:

Breakfast:
Cream cheese cloud or 4 tbsp cream cheese

Lunch:
2 oz of macadamia nuts

Dinner:
Hamburger with 2 slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo and two small slices of bacon

Snack:
2 eggs and a half a can of green beans

I vary my menu some but I eat the same things most of the time. All of us on here eat different stuff we just stick to these percentages. If you look back through the thread you can see lots of different recipes and foods we eat. I am always happy to answer any questions!

Well, I am not doing well. In the midst of a panic attack. Verge of tears. Ridiculous I know... I am up over another full pound from this morning!! I have not deviated. I have stuck to plan!! How is it possible that someone can go from 247 to 251 in 2 days?! I know, I know, you will all tell me it is TOM but I don't believe it at this point. All that hard work and successful days gone.
I keep thinking of you Mary- how you held on as long as you did while your hormones played with you.
I have no choice but to hold on- living any other way is not an option anymore... I'm sad.

Oh no!!! Calm down!! It WILL be okay!! Let me tell you what happened to me a week before my period. I gained 9 lbs yes I said 9 flippin pounds in less than 48 hours!!!! It all came off within a few days leadin up to my period but believe me it IS possible. I said nothing on here about it because I was SO depressed I didn't Even want to talk but it DID pass and it IS your TOM. You cannot gain weight that fast I absolutely promise!!!!! It is water!! cheer up!

[Flavia]

Hi and Welcome Cami!!!! glad u joined us!!!!!!

I manly eat a fat bomb for brekkie after 2coffees with almond milk and CO and sometimes HWC.
Then I eat when ever I get hungry again. 10-12kernels of macadamia nuts or sf jello with whip cream mixture or CC or CC muffins
Then for supper (around 2-4pm) I eat some meat 3oz with either some cabbage or cauliflower or lettuce etc then put butter on meat, sour cream and/or guacamole on veggies and/or lettuce

If I am still hungry (highly unlikely after all that fat but it does happen) then another CCmuffin or half of a fat bomb or a shake of almondmilk/hwc/cinnamon/stevia yumm yumm

[AlieKatt]

I've been researching and many gain weight during TOM. Some as much as 10 pounds! Everything I read assures me its water weight. So logically, if I keep going and stay on plan, the water will eventually leave and I may come out a lot lighter than I started at?

Why must women suffer the way we do!

I need to not lose faith. Its hard.

Thanks for being there Mary. I knew I could count on you! Funny how weight fluctuations can take me from a real positive place to one of desparation. It was only days ago I was proud to be giving advice and helping others. Goes to show just how sensitive I am.

I'll get a good nights sleep and hope for this TOM to go away sooner than later.

Dear God, if this TOM last as long as the last one I am going to lose my frickin mind!

I appreciate your help

no worries it will come off....I weight myself earlier and I was up 2.5lbs from this morning and TOM is not suppose to be till Sunday...lolol I have a feeling its gonna be here sooner. Anywho that doesn't help u right now does it???!!!!! All I can tell u is stick with it and u will reap the benefits for sure!!!!!! If u have to "binge" eat some fat bombs or cream cheese or something safe.
This too shall pass....its just a feeling
