Day 1 of a planned 5 day 'no solid food fast'
Blood sugar 92 mg/dL
🌟 I see FAT everywhere 🌟
There was a discussion yesterday as to if I gained fat or just water weight when I put on 10lbs over a 4 day period last weekend. If you compare my profile picture at 163lbs to this picture from yesterday at 170lbs you can see that I have actual FAT gained. Now, most of it was intentional as I ‘bulked’ for my weightlifting, but I still have a significant amount of fat to lose to get back to where I was.
I now see that I need to re-set my goal weight back to 163lbs (my BMI weight). This means that rather than finishing this cut at the end of the week as I hoped, it could now take another 3-4 weeks. Oh well...
I believe that when I drive my blood sugar down I drive my insulin production down, and it is my insulin levels that cause me to get fat. (See: "The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss" - https://amzn.to/2sAbluO)
Even though I took in 100+ carbs yesterday, I believe I only gained one pound because...
🌟 Before run 97 mg/dL
🌟 After run 75 mg/dL
I then ate dinner.
🌟 This morning 92 mg/dL
I plan to run this morning, 'water fast' (drinking only Green Tea during the day), and a protein shake in heavy cream tonight. Hopefully this will get me back on track.
Have a great day everyone!
