Hope you have a good run and goid day.🌞

good for you on your decision. still curious to if a high fat moderate protein meal the night before would do it too. at least it would fuel you with calories needed but not the carbs.

I had the same problem a few years ago (April 2016) ADWS, lost power and endurance on a sharp weight loss (higher calorie deficit) trend. I was concerned that it was permanent due to lost muscle...one of our long term members suggested a glycogen reload and magically all power AND endurance reappeared. Since then I've slowly lost about ten pounds (mostly fat) with not a big drop in strength, while endurance and power to weight ratio are better than at the heavier weight. Not recommending this but I used about 1200 calories from 4 big apple turnovers in an 8 hour window.

With all my biking (some days, 3+ hours at high sustained heart rates) I have had to be careful with only replacing my glycogen as needed...as it is very easy to overestimate the calorie burn and over-compensate with too much fuel (definately not good).

Although I eat a lot of sweets I still need to eat real food to keep me satisfied for longer time

@baskington - I have been allowing myself a lot of fat through heavy cream (I can't actually 'eat' anything because I will then 'binge'). I also go heavy on the protein drinks before the workout. This is why I think I am able to 'barely get through' the workout. Otherwise, I think my performance would be even worse! :)

@Steven Lloyd - Yes the 'struggle is real' :) :)

@Keilin_4 - When I hit 165lbs I will allow myself 'real food' during the week. Otherwise I am eating a lot of real food on the weekends :)

@Steven Lloyd - I KNOW that "4 big apple turnovers" will DEFINATELY allow me to get back up to 200lbs :) -and- I may do that if I can ever make this cut... ;)

I think you need more calories then the 900 you give yourself on the fast, liquid or not. and I will be the first to admit I don't understand how you don't have control when you eat food that has absolutely no carbs, at least not when you have your mind set. I totally understand it when you use keto cookies and Splenda products. those can definitely set off binges. I think some types of carbs can set off just about anyone. I am testing plain blueberries today on myself.

Good luck finding the balance you are looking for - it's hard but you can do it - happy halloween!

What about drinking a lill OJ like someone suggested CB1006?

It's 2 PM EST and I just had a caffeine pill 100 mg and then I got offered a cup of coffee with 2 creamers in it. Better this than more food. Falling asleep will be a piece of cake but staying asleep, ha, that will be my real challenge tonight. Keep pushing and testing your limits.
