Day 1 of a planned 1 day 'no solid food fast'
Blood sugar 99 mg/dL
👎🏾 Yesterday, I planned to break my 5 day fast at 5:00pm, and at 5:00pm I had to get gas on the way home from work. I found a box of lemonheads (20 carbs 90 calories) and ate it. Then at the gas station I got a beef jerky. Months ago beef jerky after a no solid food fast made me sick and this time it did again (stomach ache).
👎🏾 When I got home I started scarfing down all the low carb chips and snacks I could find (we literally have nothing else in our house since we are both on low carb). Dinner was two beef pattties, but, I STILL had my 🥛 protein shake before bed.
So, yeah gaining only one pound is good considering I went on a 'carb binge'. 40 carbs and 1600 calories will make me gain weight. In my case, I simply do not need to consume as many calories as the 'guidelines' say. As a man who has been obese ALL my adult life (but, no longer is), I flat out reject any guideline that says I need to eat more. My 'metabolism' is what it is (and what it ALWAYS has been, why do you think I was ALWAYS fat?). If I have a 'slow' metabolism, perhaps I can 'just-stop-eating-so-much' 😎
🧘🏾♂️ WHY is a 'slow metabolism' so bad anyway? Life is a journey towards 'death' moving at the speed of my metabolism, why am I in a hurry? I have a friend at work who barely eats. He has a very 'slow metabolism', but, he can jump rope for an hour strait and do pull ups. He-is-72-years-old!
🏃🏾 Today, I plan to exercise a lot, drink only protein shakes all day.
Have a great day everyone!
