Re: International Army - 2020 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don’t think that complicates things, @IamMary. Intermittent fasting fits well with low sugar because when you don’t eat that, you’re not hungry all the time!! I’ve never liked breakfast at the “normal” time so I break my fast whenever I get hungry, usually sometime between 11 and 1.

I only drank about 1 1/2 cups of this very nonrewarding “coffee” today so maybe I will end up giving it up. Apparently I’m all about the Big Reward!

I love your advice on getting a not-dowdy dress :haha:!

Re: International Army - 2020 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I've never tried intermittent fasting Mary, no. It was the "fasting" bit that turned me off it :egad: but I do have a couple of Michael Moseley books that get into it, including his blood sugar one that I haven't even read yet.
The fires are settled right down in my area now Brit but still smelled smoke today even though it was tipping down rain ....AT LAST!!

Thanks so much for that thread NS. I knew you'd be the girl to talk to about this. It's getting worse, which wouldn't bother me quite as much if I wasn't terrified of drinking thoughts starting. I also have a caffeine problem...Dedicating some reading time this weekend to the whole thing...

I'll pop up a link for NAC in a min but I came across some information suggesting that there may be a link between taking NAC and reduced cravings. Of course I wanted it in my grog plan and it worked a treat. Silly to let it run out at all at this early stage, even if it is placebo. Who cares. If it works, do it. Anyway since I ran out the sugar issue has raised its head. I order it from the US so hopefully only a week or so away. I'll be really interested to see if it interrupts the sugar cravings.

Hey Satz. Go red for the MOB dress .....

Morning all!

I put on about a stone when I quit smoking - and I did intermittent fasting for a couple of weeks - it was brilliant - weight just fell off.. and I felt good too. Funny - when I'm at work I would find that very hard to do it's like 'I've worked all morning I deserve my break/lunch' whatever... but if I was at home a few days a week I would deffo continue it - not to lose weight - I'm happy enough with that - but it really did make me feel sort of wholesome and clean or something - zactly the opposite of how you feel when you eat too much sugar...must check that link Bridge - never heard of it either.

I don't drink coffee anymore - well -- really really rarely - we have a coffee machine in work and occasionally I'll have a morning cup - but probably once a fortnight - if I'm out I'll sometimes have a latté - but again - maybe once a fortnight - but I do drink a lot of tea like you Mary -- so really should change over to green/ginseng etc... just doesn't do the same job!

Afternoon all. Well done JC, delighted for you. Thanks for the link Bridget, must have a read of it. Just in from crochet class, had a bit of lunch and now need to pick himself up. Tried the fasting but did not keep it up. Eat fairly healthy, it’s the sugar and portion size that’s my big problem.

Re: International Army - 2020 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Afternoon all! Well done on the library job Jackie it sounds interesting

Mother of the bride clothes still in discussion I like the idea of RED.

Bridge I have my husband on the Michael Mosley blood sugar diet as he has now got type 2 Diabetes to add to his problems. He has lost 6llbs in 10 days looks and feels better. No alcohol for months so it wasn't the booze that caused the Diabetes.
I keep forgetting that I am stopping coffee and keep making myself a cup. Hey ho creature of bad habits.
How are the runners?

Rustytop : WW will help with that. It's not even called Weight-watchers any more it's Wellness Workshop.
I could not BELIEVE how much I actually ate. Picking this & that ..... Jesus I was a pig .... thinking it was all muscle from the gym.
I do have muscle & will keep up gym to keep my bones strong but once you start tracking on your phone Rusty you'll be amazed at what we mindlessly eat.
FRUIT IS FREE ..... :yay: but of course typical addict I binge on bananas & grapes :haha:

Ms A - a cup of coffee is not the end of the world - better than the alternative.
I dunno how it doesn't interfere with your sleep ?

Re: International Army - 2020 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yea I like the idea of not pointing everything I put in my mouth and lets face it none of us will over indulge in brocolli, a bit is enough. Sugar/alcohol is a different story!
