From Keto back to Vegan

From Keto back to Vegan

I am finishing up the meat in my house and going back to a more plant based vegan diet. I switched to Keto to change things up and it did. I lost the most of the 10lbs I gained over the last year but I don’t like really eating this way. I miss my fruits and veggies. I miss my soups. I hate eating the cheese and I hate the butter. It was good at first but now I’m just…

Keto diet week 2 and intermittent fasting

Keto diet week 2 and intermittent fasting

So week two is done and I lost another 2lbs. I think it is sufficient to say this was the diet for me over weight watchers. I am doing a strict Keto diet according to my Lifesum app https://lifesum.com/. I set my levels for 6% carbs, 20% protein and 74% fat. I did buy the Keto test strips and I do test my urine each morning. It has been the same since about day 4 at a moderate level. I’ve…

Keto diet week one

Keto diet week one

I must say, I found it pretty easy to do but I had help. I had a menu planner that I purchased for a small price from your Keto diet https://usa.yourketo.diet/. I used that and an app for tracking called Lifesum https://lifesum.com/. It’s really the app that has been a huge help. It lets me track all my food and helps me figure out my targets in each category. I can see if I’m short in fats, high in carbs…

Intermittent fasting 2 months later

Intermittent fasting 2 months later

So I’m still doing intermittent fasting. In case you don’t know, this site offers a great beginners guide to fasting https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/intermittent-fasting-guide#section3. For me I follow a 16:8 cycle. I eat between the hours of 12-8 and fast the other hours. This is the cycle that works best for me and keeps me from noshing at night. My first post about this kind of eating was done on June 2 https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/06/02/its-not-the-grapes-intermittent-fasting-next/I am surprised it’s been two months already. This is what…

The weight I am

The weight I am

In the last year I’ve been battling a 8-10lb weight gain. The weight gain came on over a couple of months towards the end of last summer. This was when i had to stop working out because of shoulder tendinitis. At that point I joined weight watchers. I would spend each week tracking everything I ate losing weight one week to gain it back the next week. In the end I wasn’t losing anything and I was just getting frustrated….

Intermittent fasting my conclusion so far

Intermittent fasting my conclusion so far

Intermittent fasting as per my favorite site Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting is: Intermittent fasting (IF) is an umbrella term for various diets that cycle between a period of fasting and non-fasting during a defined period. Intermittent fasting can also be used with calorie restriction for weight loss. There are two main ways to do this: ▪ Whole-day fasting involves regular one-day fasts. The strictest form would be Alternate day fasting (ADF). This involves a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period.[4]…

Two year renewal of Multiple Experiences

It’s official, today I renewed my blog’s domain name for another two years. This also renewed my iPage contract that my blog is hosted through.

I haven’t put much effort in lately. It wasn’t done on purpose, it was just a tough…

It’s not the grapes..intermittent fasting next

It’s not the grapes..intermittent fasting next

Well it’s not the grapes that caused the weight gain or preventing the weight loss. I think the swelling of the feet the and the weight are tied in somehow just don’t know how. I follow the weight watchers each week and nothing. I eat a mostly plant based diet and work out 5 days a week. Truthfully my clothes fit they just aren’t as loose as they should be. The bigger size pants are really too big but this…

Too much fruit causing weight gain

Too much fruit causing weight gain

I might have solved my own weight problem. I think I figured out what was causing me to put on weight and not take it off even on a diet. The answer was fruit. FRUIT!!!! Yup, you heard it right. I was on a mostly plant-based diet but I ate a ton of fruit. Fruit was always my breakfast and fruit was always my snacks. Those frozen grapes. Normally I only would eat frozen grapes during the summer months to…

A blog challenge on self love day 1

A blog challenge on self love day 1

My life coach challenged me to write blogs showing self love. It’s been something I’ve been struggling with lately. Who am I kidding, it’s something I’ve struggled with my whole life. I can self love from the neck up, I’m pretty horrible from the neck down. I judge myself very harshly based on my weight and I always have. I thought my weight gain might of leveled off and now I’m not so sure. It’s been disheartening to say the…
