Advice for getting back in the rhythm?

5ā€™9 193lb 23M. Iā€™ve been doing intuitive snake diet/rolling 36-72 hr fasts since the beginning of November and saw great results, dropped from a chunky 205 into a regular 185 range the first few days of December. This past week were my grad school finals and I was under a ton of stress and dropped my discipline with fasting time and nutrient dense food.

Do you have advice for getting back into a routine after a ā€œbadā€ week? I have ballooned up about 9 lbs since a week ago and it is really sapping my motivation because just a short time ago the weight was melting off.

Iā€™m very familiar with a lot of Coleā€™s mantras, Iā€™m looking for more your personal experience and words of advice. Thank you šŸ

Answer

Just make sure you are done with grad school finals and then start getting into it any way you want again. Start with a few days OMAD or directly 48ā€™s again, whatever you prefer or think is best doable for you at that moment.

Answer

After a bad week itā€™s important you shake that negative emotional debris, could be guilt or shame. Writing helps, so this post is helpful. And try standing for long periods of time (Start with 10 minutes), I like listening to podcasts(Joe rogan, cole robinsonā€¦) while standing. The standing burns. Breath with it too.

As for the restā€¦ Well you already know. At your weight I would recommend OMAD with keto refeeds.

I am 6ā€™, 171 pounds. I want to lose 10-20 pounds. I had a few bad days recently but I am back on the wagon.

What I find most helpful is the how keto refeeds let me be not hungry or craving at all. Only a 2-3 hours before I finish, and still itā€™s a very light form of hunger that I am very okay with.

I have eaten so much junk in the past, I had even tried to push the junk food as much as possible because I really wanted to be done with it. And because I am a sugar addict.

At this point I am doing this because I am sure I am a sugar addict. And this makes more sense than eating carbs and feeling hungry and craving all day.
