4 Months Later - Fasting - Carnivore - OMAD

I know it's been a while since I've done an update. So here we are at the beginning of September already. Things are progressing really nicely. So much better than I ever imagined. I've slowly transitioned to a mostly Carnivore diet, consisting or meat, eggs and dairy with very little veggies and no fruit.

I've continued fasting on a regular basis. Basically having just one meal a day on most days (OMAD) and then still doing regular water fasts as I feel the need. My weight continued to decrease slowly but very steadily. I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have been very happy just maintaining my weight under 70kg and here I am at 62kg. How cool is that? Yeah, I'm sure excited. 

Here's my latest before and after pic. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. I can tell you that I feel so amazing! I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I know, the horror, eh? I've stopped taking all my supplements. My eczema is a thing of the past. My Hashimoto's seems to be under control. No symptoms at all. In the morning, I bounce out of bed like a teenager. No stiffness or aches and pains. I feel I have a lot more endurance when hiking, especially climbing uphill or doing stairs. I no longer have dry skin and I just look and feel overall much healthier. While menopause used to terrify me, especially with putting on more weight, I've now decided that I will just sail through it without any issues and a healthy fit figure.

  2. Hello ma'am Lynn! I am interested with water fasting. I've done low carbs in order to lose weight and even intermittent fasting. But sad to say I went back to where I am after the lockdown. I'm getting bigger again. So sad :( actually I lost weight, but my skin sags and became more drier, had turkey neck, and my hair became more thinner. I don't look good anymore then. :( Anyways, how is water fasting should be done? Is it more on drinking plain water? No solids at all for 10 days?

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo

Obesity & Genetics: Past vs. Present

The Obesity Epidemic: Exploring the Shift from the 60s and 70s to Today Introduction: Obesity has become a widespread health concern in recent decades, but this wasn't always the case. In the 1960s and 1970s, obesity rates were significantly lower. This thought-provoking video ( https://youtu.be/PCeqE7lLRPY ) delves into the reasons behind this shift, debunking the myth that genetics are solely to blame. In this blog post, we'll summarize the key points from the video and explore the factors contributing to the obesity epidemic. The Myth of Genetics: While genetics can play a role in an individual's predisposition to obesity, the video emphasizes that genetics alone cannot explain the rapid increase in obesity rates over the past few decades. If genetics were the primary factor, we would not have seen such a dramatic change in obesity prevalence in such a short time. Instead, we must look at other factors that have changed since the 1960s and 1970s. Factors Contributing to
