I hope you all had a merry Christmas! And thud, funhogging? Gonna have to add that one to my lexicon Thanks for the encouragement.

No fast food, but did not make my carb goal.

Note:

Ate again after snowboarding and driving after noon. I stopped for some groceries, which was actually unnecessary, then I had snack in car - that was interesting finding. After eating late, I had more and more - basically like two large meals yesterday. This morning I not hungry but have to get back out on the slopes in a few mins so I'll either have to fast all day or eat after noon - Neither a real problem but I'll likely do the later as I have unfrosted ground beef in the fridge - I suppose I could cook up patties and save for tomorow ha! Who knows what will happen today? I dont

Hey all! Just popping in to update. I know I missed a day this past week. Been crazy busy. Spent a ton of time driving yesterday and wasn't online much at all.

Things are still going along great with the evening snacking. Didn't eat my last meal until 7:30 last night, but it was still under 200 calories (Cheese and Olives). Just needed something to take the edge off before bed.

Note:

Another early moring snowboard session turned into an all day adventure. Ate normal but after noon. Happening again today as I'm at work.

Also, my BG was 120 this morning ready and BhB 0.2 - I don't think I've had a BG that high in like a long time. Might be aberration as I only measured once. Felt great and no hunger - probably another reason not to eat.

I'm calling this practice session quits a few days early. I think I'll spend the remaining week figuring out the precursors of DDF https://www.datadrivenfasting.com/home I've got the materials downloaded but have not really read up on it and need to find a "baseline" is my limited understanding. I'll get that dialed in and hit Q1 running next Monday Jan4.

Eating before noon was fun exercise. My weight stayed about the same thru the whole experiment so that's good. The best take away has been learning and knowing that I can go to bed without loading up on food late. I can sleep just fine if I lay down and close my eyes. This will make any kind of fasting easier as that was the hardest thing for me on short and extended fasts, getting thru the end of day one.

Happy New Year and see you soon after I define and post my plan by the weekend.

Thud, would you like the honour of starting up a new thread when you're ready? This one is approaching 2000 posts and will need to be closed soon. The timing is nice. Happy New Year, indeed.

I will be joining in.
