Good morning!
I have no ill effects from the fast, other than being extremely hungry this morning. A first for me since I never wake up hungry, but my fat-bomb coffee took care of that. I was doing some more reading about LCHF combined with IF and I discovered that a female ideally should not consume over 500 calories on fasting days so I will adjust my FB coffee accordingly in the future. I have been between 650-900 previously. I also tried a different keto calculator and it showed me that the calorie range I was on was in the slow loss area. I decided to step it down a notch and go to the moderate weight loss range so my new RDI for calorie intake is 1234....LOL at least it's easy to remember.
My new macros are:
67% fat - 827 kcal - 92g
25% protein - 313 kcal - 78g
8% carbs - 100 kcal - 25g
We will see how this works.
This is an experiment, after struggling for years back and forth with my weight and watching others struggle with it also, I have realized that I need to find what works for me, what I can live with always and makes me feel better. This is a process and it's time to streamline it to fit my needs. This website will allow me to actually see how I am doing and adjust and eliminate the things that don't work. Out of all of the previous apps and websites I have used, this one gives me the information and support I need and a format that is simple to use.

Yes, we have to find what works for us long term so it's not just a diet=temporary solution. Keep on with it.

i agree with jim ... how an individual responds to certain foods, certain macros, adjusted up and down, etc. is what is important. find what works for you and consistently monitor. you will get to know your body's tendencies and be successful, i think.

How long was your fast Debra?

That would be 24 hours from my last meal, which for me was my first meal of the day. 6 am Fat Bomb coffee, then just water and unsweetened tea till the morning rolls around again. I have discovered I sleep more comfortably with my tank on empty instead of full.

Hi Dreamcatcher10, Fat Bomb coffee, Keto-Coffee, Bulletproof Coffee - it has many names and just as many recipes, is coffee blended with coconut oil and butter and cream to make a delicious rich frothy drink very high in fat to kick-start your metabolism
https://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/
This is the link to the Origination Recipe and it insists on a certain type of coffee and patented oils to make it. However, for my purposes, regular grind columbian, store bought butter, cream and coconut oil are sufficient. I add Vanilla Creme Whey Protein Isolate, half a scoop or a whole scoop depending on how much protein I need that day and the fact that it makes it taste great :)
