Over 50 & Getting Fit

During intermittent fasting, I have found that supplements such as Glucomannan and Berberine are extremely helpful in controlling food noise. This, in addition to black coffee, green tea, herbal tea, and water. *Zero calories.

If you’ve never taken Glucomannan, start low. It’s like taking psyllium husk. Your body has to adjust or you’ll have cramps and killer gas.

If you’re seeing this, I appreciate you. Seriously, Tumblr is the only platform I post this stuff to. The vibe and community are just different.

1. Alternate day fasting

2. Intermittent fasting

3. One meal a day (OMAD)

4. Dry fasting

5. Dirty fasting

6. 5:2 diet

All of these can overlap somewhat. I mostly do 16:8. I’m considering trying alternate day fasting.

I’ve noticed with 16:8 that after about 12 hours, I have a burst of energy and mental clarity. I drink water, black coffee, and green tea during my fasting window with nothing added.

I have a mammogram ordered and I will call tomorrow to schedule appointment.

Next week I have 2 C & P appointments for my VA claim. I really should have done this 20 years ago!

Tomorrow morning I will start logging my weight again. I really like having this space to share and just brain dump.

Today, I packed a low carb protein shake, Lacroix water, and some cut up veggies. At least I’ll be able to snack through out my shift.

Daily calories with food exchanges. I like how this is laid out. Odd that it was suggested on an over-eaters -anonymous-type website. https://emotionalsobrietyandfood.com/tools-of-recover/food-plans/
