Puckertoe Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Breakfast big frittata with everything. Soaked in ghee. Didn't feel hungry. Unsurprising since I snacked at 1am to get me to sleep.:-0 May be it's a lower blood sugar level making me feel hungry. Maybe fat adaption not happened yet, but would be surprised since I can bike 5-6 hours on one cup of tea and a cheese sandwich at half way. My blood glucose has been running a bit high 90s during the day and low 100 am fasting, maybe my bod is getting used to a new low. Can test as no strips at Mo. So give it some time, hope that my sleep improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckertoe Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 This is 'keep the faith day' Day6 I slept much better only woke for one pee. Hallelujah! Re reading "It starts with food". So what I mean by keeping faith is keeping going even though I can't see changes, that hormones are getting back to normal and I'm healing on the inside even if I can't see a difference on the outside. Hubby cooked nice big breakfast that will probably keep us going until Wednesday!bacon eggs tomatoes mushroom spinach. Didn't feel the need for fruit this morning, which has been a bit of a crutch in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckertoe Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Day 9, went really well. My friend kept me plied with fruit tea whilst we did some work on her house. Busy all day. Food worked out well. Had a fab tinned fish hash withonions, courgette,butternut squash, veggies for tea from the camper van kitchen. * Full of energy all day long, * Ordinary wholesome food tastes really good * Appetite is huge. Eating big plates full of good quality food that once would have thought bland and boring. When I sat down with a bowl of homemade coleslaw and crab at lunch time my friend said' you'll never Eat all that" I said, "Watch me". I've never been able to eat much as I think my stomach had shrunk down from getting calories from rubbish. And now it's doing what it should. No cravings, well maybe just a reall cuppa tea. * Skin is very smooth and soft * Positive mood *wedding ring fit, having taken it of because it was hurting me, I put it back on and it fits well again. * Feel younger, winding back the clock! *going to need a new wardrobe at this rate.

Breakfast, 3 eggs, onions,spring greens,tomatoes, fried in ghee. Lunch, cold chicken and more coleslaw.a big bowls worth of it.followed by strawberries. So sweet even just as they come.

Puckertoe Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nearly the end of week 3 Day 20. Just sort of going with the flow. Went cycle touring with pockets full of boiled eggs, dates,apples and tins of fish. Sweet potato etc. OK but too heavy for any extended trip, beyond shops. Felt very thirsty the first day and drank masses. Had cramp due to salt loss on the first night but after that all OK. Good week, looking forward to finishing as I'm still missing a cuppa. Thinking that I will continue the 30 with the odd slap up meal of good quality nice things. Food is good..even the things I thought were boring taste great. Sweet veg. Not seem to seen a lot of change from last week physically, feel well, sleeping ok, not brilliantly. Maybe slow weight loss, or belly fat loss.

Puckertoe Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Day 23. Still going strong and enjoying my food. Think I'm losing g a bit of fat still at least my husband thinks so. Sleeping pretty well Loads of energy to do things. Not hungry, in fact I forgot to eat lunch yesterday, it wasn't until dinner time that I realised. Breakfast is nearly always a bacon egg and veg combo in some form. Lunch is usually a large salad with tin fish. Dinner is planned around a protein like mince or chicken portions.

Puckertoe Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Day 24 I think my hair is thickening up. That's really good as I had begun feeling self conscious about the thin patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckertoe Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Day 29! Wow..I've nearly finished the W30 Went shopping and very hard to not buy all the food I fancy. But. I got strawberries and lemon sole and carrots and broccoli. Feeling absolutely in control of food. Last day tomorrow and not sure how I'm feeling about adding back stuff. Bingeing at weekends has to stop, so now I know I feel good without the junk the wine and the crisps, it will be easier to go without huge piles of the trigger foods. I'm cycling 100 miles on a day this week. When the rain finally stops again and the sun reappears. Got the figs and potatoes at the ready...
