I have been watching lots of videos about ADF - Alternate Day Fasting and it sounds like something that might work for me, so I've decided to give it a shot. Yesterday I had black coffee for breakfast, decaf black coffee for lunch, and herbal tea in the evening. In between I had water. I know a "clean" fast would be water only, but I've got to cut myself a little slack and use the crutch of beverages with almost no calories. I was fine through the morning and into the early afternoon. Typically, I eat most of my calories later in the day, so it was no surprise that the hunger pangs didn't start until the afternoon. Dinnertime was the hardest part of my day. I normally eat the majority of my food in the evening. I was craving food but calmed my cravings by watching other people eat. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it worked. There is one popular YouTube channel that I watched. It's a woman who makes her living eating on camera. She's unhealthy because of it, but we all make our choices in life, right? So I watched her gobble down a huge fast food meal of fried chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes with gravy, french fries, and a sweet tea beverage. There was a lot of slurping and moaning and other sounds of pleasure. As I watched her and enjoyed her food vicariously, I was also looking at her morbidly obese body and thinking "This is the price you would pay". I feel guilty for watching and supporting this self-destructive behavior, but it is strangely motivating for me to stay on track. I'm sure that others watch her for the same reason.

I still wanted dessert, so I switched to another YouTube creator, a professional eater. This man is fit. He runs and bikes and works out to maintain his fit body, and I imagine that he might do some fasting too. For his challenges, he will consume astronomical numbers of calories in one day or less. I watched him eat 100 chocolate Easter eggs in one video, and in another episode, he ate 10 servings each of 9 or more different processed junk foods. These videos use a lot of fast-forward of course, but it's amazing to watch. I enjoy him and other professional eaters more than I do the woman previously mentioned, because he and other pro eaters like him are physically fit and healthy, although I wonder what the long-term effects of pushing beyond the limits are.

After watching these videos my desire to eat was gone and I was able to fall asleep easily. I woke up feeling fine and as is typical for me, I was not hungry. It's coming up at 11 a.m. and I'm still not in a hurry to break my fast. It's true what they say about alternate-day fasting. You'd expect that you'd want to eat the house the next day, but you don't. So we will see how the rest of today goes, and then perhaps I'll fast tomorrow. I'm not committing to anything. Some people do a 5:2 method of intermittent fasting and that sounds promising, but I'm just going to play it by ear.

Wish me luck.

I'm up two pounds in two days, but I know that's just fluid changes. I've been following my plan very well. At least I'm still in one-derland.

I'm feeling quite miserable this morning with a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder. That alone could explain the difference in my weight. Inflammation means fluid retention.

I've been reading up on gut health. I got Dr. William Davis' "Super Gut" book yesterday and downloaded an app to help follow the FODMAP diet. I think this will help me get to the bottom of my digestion issues.

I already eat in compliance with the FODMAP plan, for the most part. I will need to eliminate a couple of foods for a time, namely onions, garlic, and tomato products (including tomatoes). I've been wanting to try a recipe for skillet lasagna made with egg wraps to replace the pasta noodles. It's non-compliant with the FODMAP diet, but I will make it today finish it over the weekend, and then begin the FODMAP diet on Monday.

The plan for today is to make my menu plan and shopping list. I'll do the shopping on Sunday as has been my routine for a few weeks.

Dramatic drop in the past few days after holding stubbornly over 200 for months. I don't think it's fat loss. I just think that I was backed up and retaining water. I only hope that I can stay on a downward trend.

The yogurt I ate this morning was homemade l. rueteri cultured dairy made with half and half. I'm sure the fat is higher and the carbs are lower in this, but I'm using a cup of whole milk yogurt to log. I'm sure it's close enough.

I just ordered "Super Gut" and some Slippery Elm bark powder. I'm trying to focus on improving my gut health because I think it's key to improve my digestion in order to get these pounds to budge.
