One of my short term goals is to lose ten pounds (and my long term goal is to eat consistently healthy and keep my weight consistent throughout the year as I always eat a lot of sugar and often gain weight in the winter. And to be someone who is not controlled by urges/cravings for food/buffering)!
About 2.5 weeks ago I stopped eating sugar and flour. I’ve been eating between 11am – 7pm. The first week I lost a couple of pounds and the second week I gained a couple of pounds. It hasn’t felt very hard – at all (which is quite amazing because I love sugar! And bread!) so I’m wondering if maybe I am eating too much from 11-7? Should I be watching calories or fat more closely? ).
I also wanted to ask if kombucha is ok (during the eating “cycle”) . I’ve not been drinking it the past week because I wasn’t sure. A bottle has 12 grams of sugar I think- from (fermented?) fruit juice. I’m assuming that lemon water is ok during fasting…
