Day 7 of a planned 11 day 'no solid food fast'
Blood sugar 81 mg/dL
Gained another pound on my 'fast' 😊
Perhaps it was because I allowed myself to drink as much water 🌊 as I could, and to consume as much Protein Powder 🥛 as I wanted to until I was stuffed.
My carbs went above my goal of net 10 carbs that I usually have when I lose weight. Another number is the protein, whenever it goes above 120 I seem to gain weight. I believe it is water associated with stored glycogen, but, my goal is to keep my carbs and my glycogen low so my body is forced to burn more fat. Whatever the cause is, looking at the numbers, I am going to cut back on consuming so much protein powder.
Today I will return to the macros that worked last week:
🌟 10 net carbs (or less)
🌟 100 grams of Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder (or less -this stuff has carbs! - that's why it is delicious!)
I decided to change my profile picture. There is only a 6 pound difference, but there have been nearly 20 one hour weightlifting sessions 🏋🏾 between the two pictures. It appears I am slowly exchanging fat for muscle. 😎
Have a good day everyone!
