I got repeated food poisoning x4 around January last year, and since can't do sugar at all, carbs very little, coffee once a week (if that). Also can't do any oil but olive oil. Butter I can.
Kinda similar to your situation.
I have to prep my own meals, always (it's OK, I'm a very well versed cook, and enjoy everything about that). I sourdough my own bread and portion to two slices a day max. I do a lot of soups and salads (that's new).
And I have a keto week, once a month. That starts with 3-4 days of basically water fast, where I am allowed a cup of soup after sunset, but that's all. Also no smoking or coffee these three days. I do a lot of stretching, but little exercise at that time. It helps to have something to do when a craving comes, so I just go stretch or do hot-cold-mild shower, Wim Hoff style.
You feel amazing at the end of day two. Just gotta hold out.
And it continues to the rest of that week where I eat in a window between 14:00 and 17:00, limiting carbs to 20g, protein to 180g and having lots of fat with it. I try to have my protein first, as well, so that the two meals are a salad with olive oil dressing and three eggs in butter for the other one, or whatever.
That's where I do exercise. Short, violent bursts, short rests, stretches. Feels great, helps with the keto, and redistributes body mass towards eh, fighter-style body, I'd say?
The windowing of eating stays, but the amount restrictions go for the remaining three weeks.
Before I added that keto week it was a struggle, as you describe. But now it is not. There might be many reasons for that, but maybe you should try something similar and find out how it maps onto yourself.
Cheers.
- rewgs 5y agoThat's the missing link, unfortunately -- I'm allergic to keto staples such as avocado, coconut, fish, egg (yolks only, whites are fine). I have so very few foods left that I really just have to eat what I can. And more are dropping all the time. That said I'll try and adapt your suggestions onto my life as best I can. Thanks.
