Feeling frustrated with myself. Has anyone been doing low carb with IF? Has it worked for you?

I’m keto and IF… modified alternate day fasting. It works for me, perhaps not for everyone, but it works for me :)

Low carb definitely doesn't work for me. Instead, I make sure my carbs are whole foods. I also don't bother with IF; the 14 hours between dinner and breakfast are plenty. I could see how it might be helpful to someone who is a late-night or mid-morning snacker.

For me, what works to keep my calories at my goal and feel sated is to eat whole foods.

Feels good to weigh back in under 150! I am a Fam Practice Provider and I get annoyed at the amount of people asking why I don’t just take Ozempic. Because I workout 4x a week and know my body is the product of overeating and eating the wrong foods, and also I cant imagine spending hundreds to make my weight loss more comfortable? I mean is it really though?

I worry about the unknown side effects. Will the drug need it in the future when you need it for diabetes after you use it for weight loss? Plus COME ON PEOPLE- in the end all the methods make you eat less and you lose weight! That drug just makes you too sick to eat. Bariatric surgery just makes you able to eat the smaller portion you should have been eating all along.

There is no "magic" except psychological

  • I’m confused. The rules say that by round five you need to have lost at least 6%. Why does mine require 10%?

Ahhhh ok so I don’t need to be absolutely at 10% for round five, but I couldn’t be at anything under 6%. Got it!

Dina P.

You got it! It’s pretty confusing at first :wink:

I’m feeling frustrated. It’s been 12 days since I lost any weight. I could not be eating any less than I am. I try to eat low carb and low calorie as that usually works for me. I have at least a 500 calorie deficit from my diet alone each day. Yet nothing is happening. I’m not exercising much, maybe twice a week, so I know I could be doing that more. But I’m on my feet all day every day and feel like my diet should be enough to see semi-consistent change. What am I doing wrong???

I know the common belief is in = out, but less calories and more exercise isn't always the answer because with hormones and stress our bodies freak out and then hold onto the weight. Totally agree with folks on changing things up maybe spend a few days consciously eating well but instead focus on & counting grams of protein (>100g) or fiber (>25g).

  • Sorry you are going through that. That sounds so frustrating! I’ve seen things online from fitness experts who talk about how to get through a weight plateau. You should look into something called metabolic confusion where you use a zigzag calorie plan to get your body out of starvation mode. I’ll attach screenshots with the general plan if you are interested. ❤

  • Hi everyone! My husband and I were doing great until April. Our 20 month old was diagnosed with a terminal illness called Krabbe disease and was predicted to pass away by the end of the year. Our only option was to have a bone marrow transplant to extend his life. It isnt a cure, but it protects the brain and buys us time. We left our older 2 girls with family in SC and lived at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital for 6 months. We each gained at least 30 pounds this year and we are so ready to shed the weight now that we are back home and Arthur is not in such a vulnerable state.

Wow it sounds like you have had a rough year. I hope 2024 goes better for you and your family. It is always hard when you have a sick kid.
