Living My Way's Journal, 02 May 19

Gained 5kgs since November, though could be water retention/edema.
Body Fat 15%
belly fat 1%.
On 'right track' but a bit to go. Told I'm now to cut down on cream in coffee and eat more food and at regular intervals during day.
Dietitian emailing doctor to prescribe fortisip, to boost snacks and help with added nutrients. looks like less fat, more protein as fortisip is protein, rather than carbs like complan.
Both have been avoiding starting, but time to just bite bullet and just do it

want to start moving more too, now I'm not dizzy all the time. Hoping doctor will let me start resistance type exercises and walking, fire poi/ fire dancing etc, now BMI back to just under 19. They wanted it back to 20 I think. Will see on Wednesday at that appointment, if bloods taken today are normal and electrolyte and especially potassium, are in healthy range, then I'll push for it. Especially now fire ban has been lifted. Time to get to beach and spin fire again.
47.3 kg Lost so far: 0.7 kg.    Still to go: 0 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

Have you tried intermittent fasting? Especially helpful when trying to shed the stubborn kilograms. As opposed to eating several meals and snacks throughout the day, perhaps you could try 18:6..2 meals per day in a restricted eating window of 6 hours. When we restrict eating times, NOT calories, we condense our "feasting" and minimise spiking the fat storage hormone (insulin) because when we eat several times we are basically grazing all day. That means we spike insulin all day. Leads to insulin resistance, weight gain etc. Your body fat percentages are very low. How do you measure?

They are low yes. I have a friend that works in a gym, so use body scales there. My BMI is just under 19 now, but was under 17.5 November last year. love I.F, unfortunately a little too much, lol. Can be good for lots of people though. While lots on here, are here to lose weight, I'm having to gain, (though would love to go back to fasting). I just need to make sure I'm hitting around 2000-2500cal a day, for time being, and calorie counting is hard habit to break.

Friend said she doesn't see those % either, yet hydration is higher than she usually sees. Water retention/edema is what can happen, when recovering from restriction unfortunately. Just have to push through it.

I am however, supposed to be gaining. My readings were lower in November, I've gain 5kgs since then. Was hospitalised back then.
