Thank you all for reading and commenting on my blog post yesterday about the Minnesota Starvation Study. I’m the kind of person who WANTS to know the reason behind the recommended behavior or rule. I’ve always heard about the serious nature of starvation mode and recommendations that women must consume at least 1200 calories a day but I had never read the why that’s true. That study gives the why. Yes, my must know attitude gives me grief at times, especially in political matters but I am willing to do the work so I can decide for myself.     That study has enlightened me and given me new ways to look at my behaviors while losing weight. My calorie range is 1200-1350 to consistently lose weight. As I lose weight and become more active, that range delivers 2 pounds a week. Very reasonable but also very close to restrictive dieting numbers so now I realize WHY I must be very careful at the low end of my range.   I also wondered if the foods provided, Potatoes, turnips, ruta...

Wild Child loves candy

Wild Child, Dictator and I are still talking about the candy eating. The problem was that I’d be short on calories by 100-200 calories and not hit my minimum of 1200. A snack after dinner is new territory for this all or nothing dieter. My history of managing after dinner snacks has been spotty at best. Somehow a simple snack could set off cravings as astrometric proportions. Some snacks work like baked apples, cheese and lean protein. I am trying to meet my macros but 1200 calories just doesn’t leave much room for extras.  So here is the discussion and how we worked together for a happy plan to solve to these issues. First, it was important to acknowledge to WC, that sometimes, like Halloween, we can eat the planned small portion and stop. This shifted the problem off her back and back onto the 3 of us.  We have agreed to put candy aside for the time being. Healthy foods is our priority since our calorie limit is so low. It is also a priority to meet our 1200 calorie minimum....

Journey updates and a question

Image
Been cruising along steadily this past month. I am eating high protein, low carb 1200-1300 cal/day with Intermittent Fasting at 10 hrs a day. At about 3 months the honeymoon stage usually ends for me and I did encounter a couple of days where my hand was quicker than my Beck counsel thoughts. But I was reading blogs and was inspired to change my daily relationship with my inner Wild Child and Dictator. I started by intentionally addressing them at meal times pointing out the fatty, salty and sweet items on my plate. That really seems to be pleasing for everyone. Never one to stop with a single effort, I was inspired to include them in my daily activities. I’ve been intentionally pointing out nature’s beauty and looking for eye candy treats for Wild Child’s (WC) enjoyment. Dictator (D) has been given my ongoing assurances from tracking and meeting my goals. She has been very quiet. I think WC being happy has reduced her workload. Still expressing my appreciation for their efforts on my ...
