Eating 3 Meals A Day Instead Of Two. Giving Up On Intermittet Fasting To Help Me Lose Even More Weight.

My husband told me that I should eat before I work out in the morning or work out later after a meal.  He shared this clip with me:

 

 

 

I looked into it further and found out that he is right but there is more.  Nicole Collet of YouTube swears by eating breakfast and it seems she is always eating but she's not fat at all.  She is also very active too.  She practices portion control and counting calories so that's another thing to consider.

I also have been watching My 600 lb life, Too Large and My 1000 lb best friends and I have learned that eating 3 to 5 meals a day is ideal to increase your metabolism according to the dietitians that work with the people on the shows.  They also avoid carbs and sugar but eat more veggies, fruit and protein.  

I don't like to eat in the mornings but I did decided to have a clean whey protein shake 15 - 30 minutes prior to my 30 minute workout.  I also switched from keto to clean keto avoiding carbs, sugar and saturated fat.  On the weekends I workout but less so instead of a protein shake I will have my peanut butter and coco oats with unsalted dry roasted peanuts and honey all organic and natural or peanut butter organic apples.  I will weigh myself at the end of June because I started at the beginning of June and see.  I do take 20 mg of Lurasidone so it might not do much.  We shall see!   

Switching To Clean Keto Instead Of Keto To Keep My Cholesterol From Going Too High

I am not eating all kinds of fat anymore on keto and have transitioned to Clean Keto to help keep my weight in check.  Having lots of bacon, cheese, cream, butter, coconut oil, red meat seemed too good to be true and it is because the common factor all that has is saturated fat that could increase your cholesterol.  Anyways, I am now greatly reducing my saturated fat to ensure that I stay healthy and fit.  Just thought I would update you all because I do have some e-books up and those that purchased them have the link to my blog to keep them updated also.   

According to GROK: 

Keto can raise LDL cholesterol in some people (per Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2020), but switching to healthier fats (e.g., avocados, nuts, olive oil) and monitoring glucose is a solid strategy. If your cholesterol is only a bit high, lifestyle changes often suffice without statins, especially if your HDL and triglycerides are balanced. Ask your doctor for a full lipid panel and discuss non-drug options first. 

 

Beware Of Erythritol Especially In Dark Chocolate Interrupted My Meds 20 MG Of Lurasidone / Latuda (antipsychotic)! Also Beware Of B50 Vitamins B50 Vitamins!

Erythritol causes me a lot of anxiety and to become in a bad mood especially in dark chocolate!  I will avoid it now from now on because it's not something that feels good for you at all and I did a little digging and found out that it has some nasty side effects like blood clotting, heart attack, stroke!  Do not consume it because it's not worth it!  

I'd rather just have an organic chocolate bar with cane sugar to be honest.  I rarely have chocolate bars anyways because I satisfy my chocolate and peanut butter craving by having organic oats with all natural peanut butter, organic coco and organic honey once a week.       

B50 vitamins causes me to go #MutantMind.  My psychic abilities go way off the charts and it's like I am in another dimension.  It's too much.  I avoid it now because it makes everything speed up too and I get too much anxiety.  It's too bad because I pick up a lot when I am in that state but it's not worth upsetting my health and mental health.  I don't feel balanced at all and I'm a Libra and we have a thing for being in balanced energy at all times.

More about Erythritol From Google AI:

Erythritol is a 4-carbon sugar alcohol, or polyol, commonly used as a sugar substitute. It's naturally present in small amounts in some fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods, but is also synthesized and used as a food additive at much higher concentrations. 

 
Key aspects of erythritol:

  • Natural Occurrence:
    Found in fruits (melon, pears, grapes), fermented foods (cheese, soy sauce), and even human blood. 
In summary, erythritol is a popular sugar substitute that is naturally occurring and used as a food additive. It is considered a zero-calorie sweetener and doesn't impact blood sugar levels. However, some concerns have been raised about its potential impact on cardiovascular health, and research is ongoing to assess these effects. 
 
Sweetness:
  • About 70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). 
  • Calorie Content:
  • Very low calorie; it has about 0.2 calories per gram, making it considered a zero-calorie or non-nutritive sweetener. 
  • Metabolism:
    Poorly metabolized in the body and mostly excreted in urine, leading to its zero-calorie classification. 
  • Use as a Sweetener:
    Commonly used as a sugar substitute in low-calorie and sugar-free products like beverages, confections, and baked goods. 
  • Potential Benefits:
    Doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes. 
  • Potential Concerns:
    Some individuals may experience adverse side effects, and research is exploring potential links between erythritol and cardiovascular health, including heart attacks and strokes.
