Seems I'm on a plateau stuck at 236.6. I can't panic, can't get depressed, can't give up, can't give in. I've lost weight under worse conditions, I'm in ketosis firmly, I just need to trust the process.
Honestly my bigger concern today is I felt like crap yesterday and I'm trying to figure out why. This is day 6 of refeed after a 19 day fast. I felt pretty good on refeeding aside from struggling to eat a reasonable amount of calories or to avoid eating too much, due to OMAD. My feed was fine yesterday, full but not overfull...and then the day went down from there. Severe stomach ache all day, all evening. Leading to much introspection and some investigation last night on the cause. So I start with "additives" left in my daily habits.
-Swerve sweetener- keto friendly but some pple get nausea from it. Turns out those few with issues with it were ingesting 50g +. Well, I used 2 teaspoons in 2 cups of coffee. Total of 6gm. I highly doubt thats my issue.
-Laxative- For about 1.5 months I've been taking what I was led to believe was a gentler laxative. Now I know its habit forming and can eventually destroy your digestive systems ability to process waste by itself. So thats done. Plus the laxative can cause nausea. So was that it? Possibly in any case, I need to learn to live without it. Was I hooked on it? I believe so. I loved how it helped clean me out.
Processed food-Again, I've lost weight in worse conditions. I am eating very little processed now.
-Macros off? See the point above. I've lost weight long term eating worse.
The last thing...and its a big one, is eating this high fat amount over only one meal. At one point years ago, I was diagnosed with IBS. I never thought of it as much of an issue, but between that and my GERD, I have issues literally from top to bottom in my system. I suspect and fear I'm not able to deal with that much fat in one meal. It's the one thing I started doing differently just a few days ago, hence my logic.
So today, I'm going to go to a 16:8 2 meal per day feed.
I have to remind myself that I started this process only 25 days ago and what a journey it has been mentally, emotionally and physically. I've lost 28 lb since I started this particular leg of weight loss. But i feel optimistic I'm in my best place ever to continue this journey. Journalling helps a lot. Putting down thoughts on paper, as it were is like chewing your food, appreciating the taste. It helps me be more thoughtful and respectful of the process. I will continue.
