Me Time!

[MrsKiasu]

Some benefits I would like to share with you ladies… it really helps with getting back some of our waist. I don’t know if it will be back to near our old normal but quite visible even though weight don’t really go down alot…that makes me imagine it is burning fats inside. But no need prolonged fast la as that may cause some health concerns.

I would like to put a note here…my BMI is officially back to Normal range this morning.

Congratulations! Just find a reasonable regime of diet and activity that will maintain this. No need for heroic measures to reduce more. What I find works for me is to have a way to reduce the excess weight gained over the weekends (about 0.5 to 1 kg), and keep the fluctuations within that band.

Thanks. When the pain got restarted recently..I was feeling bloated chked BMI crossed to overweight range le. At that time I just thought it may be my weight putting too much pressure on my foot.

Then don't remember how I got to know IF and just start it then google on it. And think my menopause fats haven't come yet..so i think it should be a good process overall and luckily you ladies brought up some good points for me to consider while doing it.

Wah... how you managed that? In a matter of a week or two? Right now, my Galaxy watch finally shows I'm slightly \"normal\" from the overweight trend I've been on for YEARS And this, mind you, is after the daily 5km walks I make every day for 5 years.

Walking 5km daily is 要我的命啊 nowadays :sad: around 3 weeks..

Good that you are seeing some positive results from your IF MrsKS.


My approach with IF is not as a short term diet but a long term change in eating habits. Think I started in 2019 and am still sticking to that same eating schedule. I managed to lose about 4kg when I started IF coupled with a low carbo diet. When I reached my desired weight, I eased up on my diet but stuck with the 16/8 schedule and I’ve been able to keep my weight rather constant. I do go off the schedule during holidays and festive seasons or when I am under the weather and have been able to keep the pounds off. The 1st few weeks were tough but once I got used to it, I noticed the benefits, not only the weight loss but I did not have daily headaches and lesser migraines. I have lesser cravings as well, maybe cos I eat better at main meals. I don’t have any issues with 三高so cannot say much about that but I know of quite a few people who say it helped.

I do not think I will be able to sustain a 24-48 hour IF routine and it will end up being a short term attempt and the weight may pile back on eventually.

I think the NTUC Chef brand Kailan packs have shrunken significantly? Used to be 300g previously but today each pack is only 200g? My family can eat 2packs per meal. I think now need to buy 3packs. It is a waste of the packaging plastic.
