Lost 2 lbs .... the focus is working! My IF is on point and I am eating only to feed my hunger. Fat intake is high and mostly consist of coconut oil as the source fat. I honestly believe in it. The beauty of coconut oil for me is that it is a MCT oil and does not require the body to do a lot of work to use it for fuel. I find that coconut oil in my coffee really helps me with fasting as well. It's amazing because some time ago I said that High Fat Low Carb does not work as well for me as I expected. Since that time I have discovered the opposite in fact, and I now know that not all fats are equal. Coconut oil is a miracle oil in my case. It really aids my loss. I invest in the best quality organic coconut oil I can buy - fragrant, nutty flavour. Since I am having a lot of it, I want to make sure my body is getting the best quality possible. The same with meats. I wish grass fed beef was easily available where I live but it isn't. I do the best and in a pinch and buy the "Free from" available in Loblaws (no antibiotics, etc.). I never had any problem spending my money on clothes, shoes, vacations, etc. but now I think the priority is to spend on what goes in my body and not on my body. It's amazing how things can change ... a year ago, I had such a different perspective. I was the lady that said I could never drink almond milk .. today, I drink it almost daily. All I can say is, when you know better, you do better.
