Today's food entry is a testament to why I have to plan and shop for the next day's meals ahead of time. Yesterday, my intermittent fasting hours encompassed my shift at work and the period of time I went walking. By the time I got home this morning I was REALLY hungry and I simply started throwing foods from my allowed list into a sizzling pan, without measuring anything! Truthfully, though, until I walked in the door, I hadn't felt hungry all night long--which was great!
So, I CAN fast (without feeling ill); I CAN roam the darkened hallways at work (at 3mph/3am) during my break, but unless I plan ahead I'll end up with many more food entries like today's. How beautiful (yet ironic) our bodies are! Mine told me I was full and should stop eating this morning at exactly the macros I need to MAINTAIN my CURRENT weight. My body has it's own biochemical wisdom that works marvelously from an evolutionary POV, a "setpoint" that is functioning perfectly for summed periods of feast and famine, but there is no famine coming UNLESS I create one in the form of calorie restriction. I CAN do that!
I'll still technically be in ketosis today, because of my ratios and energy expended, but today is now a "maintenance day"--I just won't lose any weight....until tomorrow! Entering my food for tomorrow into my diary today is both insurance and my shopping list. Bon appetit!
