Avoid airline food.
One thing airline food has going for it is portion size.Avoid airline food.
16/8 Intermittent fasting works. Lost right at 50 pounds. It worked for me because I was not food group restricted. Any fasting for more than 12 hours is beneficial and helps fight insulin resistance. The more the merrier.So, this is inspiring for me.
I'm 54, a bit overweight and need to lose probably 50 pounds. Carb addict for sure. My blood work is also pretty good, but need to lose some weight. Blood pressure a little high, but other than that pretty good.
A friend of mine did the intermittent fasting and lost weight, but then had a heart attack! He's okay, but freaked us all out.
Not sure what OMAD is?
Anyway, I need to figure something out.
I fly two, long, legs on the same day when I fly. That's two "delicious/healthy" crew meals.One thing airline food has going for it is portion size.
It came from trying to reconcile and figure out why, in short, my high protein (high and balanced amino-acid profile) diet would just always work.How did your journey of low carb, intermittent fasting and OMAD start?
lol Inwas going to say, it’s not hard to do, as there isn’t much there!One thing airline food has going for it is portion size.
My BG was 130. Really reasonable, and it's dropping back quickly. I'll go back to no pasta, wanted to see.I just had 1 oz (dry weight) of clean Italian pasta with my goulash. In 45 more minutes I will check my BG. Also there was some balsamic on my moozza and tomatoes. Not much else carb load.
I need a CGM!
No, that's the thing. I generally drive everywhere. So sitting a lot. Rare that I find a gym, or go on a 20 mile bicycle ride. So I'd say it's the food.Don't you move around more when you travel to those overseas remote locations though?
Years ago I switched to raisins for potassium. Still lots of sugar but store much better on bike rides.If you start with banana not being BEST way for to get potassium
What does she sweeten them with? Best is berries ONLY for sweet. Need some kale in there and vanilla protein powder.My wife has gotten into shakes. I tried one, did not like, I thought it more sweet than most soda! haven’t figured those out, although maybe they great as a post workout recovery thing (I don’t workout hard enough to need that).
I went to bed BG was 109, woke a BG was 126.My BG was 130. Really reasonable, and it's dropping back quickly. I'll go back to no pasta, wanted to see.
They come sweetened, all she does is blend in some ice. Shakeology is the brand? She signed up for the Beach Body channel on Roku, and apparently found this stuff there, in one of the workout programs. It works for her, and since she does the bills, I don't know what it costs.What does she sweeten them with? Best is berries ONLY for sweet. Need some kale in there and vanilla protein powder.
Yeah no. http://img1.beachbodyimages.com/tea...gredients/shk-ing-cafe-latte-en-us-040620.pdfThey come sweetened, all she does is blend in some ice. Shakeology is the brand?

I think it's high in maldextrose (?) or something like that. She has a shake for breakfast now, nothing else for breakfast, bit of regular food for lunch, regular dinner.
Our problem is that wine is too tasty... and with winter about here, goes too well with old favorite TV shows in the evening.
Yeah but it's wicked enjoyable... I think this weekend I have to think about how to change that. I sit at a desk job enough, but end of the day has to have some means of shutting it down. Wife and I have pretty separate lives, bit of TV (with a good laugh) can be nice.ETOH and sitting. Terrible habit. Fatty liver baby!
I can walk the circumference outside my house, all concrete. It's not long, but not short either. Open all three gates the first warm up lap. If I absolutely powerwalk 5-10 laps, it doesn't take a huge amount of time, but after my two meals it makes a measurable difference. Gets my muscle cells using the sugar already there so they can uptake the new, BG drops.Yeah but it's wicked enjoyable... I think this weekend I have to think about how to change that.
