jenjabba's Journal, 02 October 2018

I was hoping after my month of being away that this had all turned around for you. You have the strength of a bull!!!! You got this. xo 

gosh I would have thought you would have started leveling off by now. hopefully if you are strict the next couple days things will get back to pre treat weekend 

I just gained 3lbs after consuming only 600 calories! So today I have you beat on the WTF! :) We will both be fine. I really believe that :) 

There's got to be something else wrong. I would think your body can only be an asshole for so long before it gives in and drops some damn weigh! Ugh I feel so frustrated for you :( 

I lose very, very slowly unless I get really focused, visualize the loss, and cut my calories (and carbs) waaaaay back. Have you tried visualization? 

Uh ya I'm going to visualize my fat off Seriously, I've been strict 

Gz9 I've been almost zero carbs for months, mostly carnivore, now 

Adefwebserver there's got to be a reason 😡 I know you'll beat this 

I wonder if there is any chance that he is sensitive to the whey or the cream to cause this effect?? a certan limit until it kicks in?? 

50 packets of Splenda?.... 😜 

I am so sorry! 😞 

Jenjabba, that's not what I meant. I clear my mind, visualize the scale showing the loss I want. I'll do this several times a day but especially just before bed. It creates a cognitive dissonance between what I see in my mind versus what I see on my scale. This really increases my focus and will power. 

Maybe I miss read or I’m confused. Keto for last 5 months but mostly carnivor? While I’m sure you should be losing too I’ve also heard the too much protein could curb the effects of Ketosis. I think I’ve seen or heard that here somewhere. Strict KETO would look something like Carbs 10%, Fat 70%, and Protein 20%. Maybe too much protein? Might be worth a try? 

she takes readings 60pack and knows. I am doing carnivore too and while I don't test on the sticks in my bloodwork I am definitely in a good level. and you do keep a balance of fat to protein very similar if not just like keto, the major difference is no veggies. some of us have food sensitivities and can't have a multitude of foods. I am definitely one. It is not a high protein diet unlike the impression, it is more a moderate protein with fat 

Baskington, I gave up dairy. I only have it maybe once a week with a coffee. I even gave up coffee. So, I'm mostly no fake sweetners too. I can't give up anything else. Except food. Heck even when I did the 5 day fast I only lost 2 pounds.HA! Then I screwed up and broke the fast with the wrong food. Dang I was starving. Uh well. I'm not perfect but were wayyyyy more perfect than most.  

That too most protein has been mostly debunked, but if your a stuck try anything. My protein stays between 60-100 usually thanks, and my carbs have been 0-15 except for an occasional cheat day on carbs. Which are rare. Thanks. 

Gz9 lol, ok, more like meditation. I have almost no problem sticking to my WOE.  

@CrashtestDawnie - If I am consistent with excessive amounts of Splenda everyday it should 'average out' :) 

none of us are Jenjabba, we all take a break once in a while and sometimes those breaks get us a break through. I have struggled with figuring out what is going on with you and the only thing I can think of that I have not suggested is a vitamin defiency which can cause hormone inbalance. but you don't seem to have much in the way of physical complaints you talk about. I just started using a new magnesium supplement and it totally changed the pain in my calves I have complained about for 2 decades. I have an absorbsion issue too and normal vitamins don't tend to get in my system even that electrolyte of Adefs doesn't seem to do much. but this really did a number on me today. I will have to do extreme low doses a couple times a day. 

Do you follow your intake of total calories?
