Now it's a year later. I've lost almost 30 lbs in a slow and controlled fashion. I eat a wider variety of plants now than I used to (even mushrooms! I used to hate those). I have shifted my cravings from sweet to more bitter. Never before would I have thought I'd just drink plain coffee or complain about donuts being too sweet! And most importantly, it's comfortable and sustainable *for me*. I don't feel like I'm missing anything and I eat enough. I'm happy.

Having a doctor say to eat more fruits and vegetables wasn't enough. But reading that book on ultra-processed foods was. Along with intermittent fasting, I had a new strategy to try. So I made two changes: cutting out a lot (but not all) ultra-processed foods and keeping myself to a shorter food day. Often it's 8 hours, but I'm flexible. On work days, it's easy for me to eat breakfast later, but on weekends, I'm more lenient so I can share the meal with my wife.

About a year ago, my wife had to fast prior to a surgery, and I decided to fast in solidarity. It was noon before I ended up eating that day, but I managed it fine. I'd heard about intermittent fasting (or time-restricted eating) and the benefits it might have for weight management, and I decided that over the next few days, I'd see how well I'd manage on just a 10 or so hour food day.

Fasting provides amazing health benefits & longevity. It's our natural way of eating, since we didn't evolve on munching all the time, especially as adults. So human feeding should be as follows IMHO:

0-8 year old: meals multiple times a day

9-18: 3 times/day, snacking only if really necessary

19-35: 2 times/day, no snacks

36-to life: 2 times/day 4 days a week & 1 time/day 3 days a week (e.g. Mon-Wed-Fri), no snacks.

I got up extra early this morning so I’d be at the medical clinic at opening and minimize my exposure to sick people. I reached into my drawer for a pair of pants and pulled out a pair of jeans which haven’t fit me in over a year. I’ve been keeping them in hopes they will someday fit me again. I was about to put them back when I figured I may as well try them on. They fit!

Around Christmas time, I had to start wearing bras for the first time. I’m back to not needing them again. What a relief. I have never liked wearing them.

Aside from one IBS flareup, my bloating issues have significantly improved since I changed the way I eat about two months ago.

I’ve cut out all sugars, baked goods, and snacking. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for about two months (I try to go ~14 hours between supper and breakfast). I’ve cut out gluten and most grains (I still eat corn kernels, oatmeal, and brown rice). I make sure I have lots of fibre every day. If it’s not in my food that day, I drink a fibre mix (psyllium husk in water, or Ultimate Daily Cleanse: a mix of psyllium husk, chia, and hemp hearts). supplementsource.ca/products/n

I still eat dairy because my calcium levels aren’t great, and I take Osteo SAP calcium, magnesium bisglycinate, and vitamin D/K2 daily to help my bone density. I also do resistance training three times a week (if I’m not sick).

My clothes are fitting better than they have in a couple of years, and I’m starting to feel much more comfortable than I have in ages. I miss cookies, hard cider, and toast, but I don’t mind sacrificing them to feel better in my own skin.

The way I figure, I can have these things sparingly (ie. on special occasions), but they can no longer be part of my regular diet if I want to keep my bloat and weight in check. Menopause has changed a lot of things with my body, but I think I’ve finally landed on what works for my post-menopausal metabolism and my chronic gut issues. #menopause #diet #IntermittentFasting #IBS #bloat #fitness

"The intermittent fasting trend MAY pose risks to your heart

Intermittent fasting — when people only eat at certain times of day — has exploded in popularity in recent years. But now a surprising new study suggests that there MIGHT be reason to be cautious: It found that some intermittent fasters were more likely to die of heart disease.
Zhong said that he and his colleagues .. were surprised by their findings."
