Broke my fast.

I decided to keep my first prolonged fast short, so this one was 43 hours. Currently sipping on bone broth with MCT oil. I'm planning on having a proper meal in a few hours.

I'm excited though. Once I'm fully fat adapted, I'm going to do even longer fasts, 3 or 4 days at first then maybe even a week, who knows.

Also, shrovetide is coming, and at least in Finland it's common for Christians to fast between that and Easter (more like give up meat and dairy, but some do liquid fasts) so I can use that as excuse.

“It’s called a vegetable. Why don’t you try one.” - past self. ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 This is a personal statement my old self needed to hear so long ago! I can’t believe how I eat and live now! My health is the best isn’t ever been and my weight and muscle tone just keep improving. #blessketo #ketotransformation #ketolife #keto #ketoweightloss #ketoscience (at Sunnyvale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbaBRcBQ-O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e1subg1l36hs

24 hours into my fast! Some hunger pains during my usual dinner time, but nothing now. Had my electrolytes and ACV, now heading to bed. I'm expecting to wake up hungry, but since I'm already used to no breakfast from IF, that's not going to be a problem.

i think one of the biggest problems i have with getting stuff done is i assume it’s easy for other people. like “she gets up at six every morning because she’s a morning person” or “yeah, he can run five miles every day but he likes running” or “she knows five languages, her brains just wired differently than mine” when in reality it’s all about discipline for everyone. like yeah, some people have natural aptitudes for some things but anyone that’s accomplishing anything is putting in the work. achievements don’t come easy, and i think if i start acknowledging that it’s like that for everyone i can stop making excuses

So I decided to do an extended fast! Currently going on 21 hours and feeling well, I've had tea, water, apple cider vinegar and salt. It's amazing, really! I feel full even though there's no calories in my body. Ketosis is working its magic.

[proteingal]

Haven't checked in in a while! Still going strong, I've lost 1.5 inches on my thighs and some on other parts too! I'm doing 16/8 intermittent fasting right now, but I'm thinking about doing a longer fast, 2 or 3 days. The problem is I have some events coming up where I'll be expected to eat, so the fast will have to wait. Due to fasting I feel like I'm not eating enough per day, my average has been about a 1000 calories. I've tried to up it by having bigger meals, but just end up feeling stuffed.

No weigh-ins just yet, I might visit my parents on the weekend and use their scale. I've been walking a decent amount, but not enough. I'm so busy with uni and music right now that I don't really have time to exercise properly. That makes me kind of sad, but I need to relax in between and for me that means a face mask and Netflix.

All in all, it's been good. I'm hitting one month back on keto soon, and that makes me happy!

i still don’t understand why recovery isn’t romanticized more. getting better after being at your lowest point? working hard and doing what it takes to feel safe again? knowing that occasional dips aren’t the end of the world? changing yourself and ridding your life of toxic behavior/people? i’m sorry that sounds better than any edgy miserable story i’ve ever heard.

Things my mom has asked me about keto

Do you still eat fish?

Are you eating vegetables?

Can you eat this fullcorn pasta?

You lost 20 pounds in 3 months?!

Wait, you can turn zucchini into pasta?

In all seriousness, she's been so chill about me doing this, maybe because I live on my own. She herself went vegan on new year's, so we're both kind doing our own thing with food, and we've both lost excess weight. Last weekend we cooked together, we made the easiest thing that the whole family can eat (two meat eaters, one vegan, one vegetarian with celiac and me, keto vegetarian) which was a chili sauce with tofu and veggies (meat eaters swapped tofu with chicken). The rest of them ate rice, while I made my zoodles. No one made a big deal out of it, although my mom did make a remark about how I've already lost weight when she hugged me.

Slicing up some hazelnuts and almonds! They're perfect with Greek or Turkish yogurt. (just make sure it's full fat)

I like to top mine off with a bit of cinnamon and liquid stevia. Nice light breakfast of snack.

Guys I made Noatmeal and I thought it was going to be meh but it was freaking incredible.

I got most of my inspiration from this recipe but I’ll post my tweaks below:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup almond milk

4 tbsp hemp seeds

4 tbsp almond flour

4 tbsp shredded coconut

2 tbsp flax-meal

2 tbsp chia seeds

½ tbsp of butter

A few drops of vanilla extract

pinch of pink Himalayan salt

Sugar free maple syrup to taste

sprinkle of cinnamon

Strawberries + almond butter for topping

Add all ingredients (except maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, strawberries, and almond butter) to a medium size sauce pan over medium to low heat.

Mix well. It will start to thicken up right away but keep stirring until it’s warmed through. Around 5 minutes but watch closely.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, butter, and syrup.

Pour into bowls and top with strawberries and almond butter.

So so so so so damn good. And filling. I only was able to finish half. I highly recommend this recipe and will be making it again.
