"Coffee with Cream Conclusion: Drinking Coffee with Heavy Cream while Intermittent Fasting will NOT break your fast or knock you out of ketosis." https://www.drbeckyfitness.com/coffee-and-intermittent-fasting/?fbclid=IwAR3g5Ubd9b42QeDzzXeRdRg-h2jCqOiltfX8LQNuv7d_gzNycnBr6XnfCBo
I fasted again for 20 hours last night. I was pleased to be able to share my new life style with my brother. I was waiting for him to pick me up at a Starbucks and happily sipping my iced coffee with a splash of heavy cream and a shot of sugar free vanilla sweetener. I was actually ecstatic, because I just read in my "dirty intermittent fasting for women" group on Facebook, that a bit of heavy cream and sugar free sweetener in your coffee will not break your fast!
I think I will dub it my "happy coffee"!
Hey, I'm no purist. As long as I can continue this lifestyle, continue to lose weight and be relatively healthy for however many days I have left on this planet, I'm good!
My brother picked my smiling self up. He said we needed to stop at the grocery store before we headed to his house, where my niece was waiting for her piano lesson.
I had a moment of panic. My brother lives in Lake Oswego. The grocery stores there are like the Garden of Eden. I told him I would wait in the car because I was fasting. I told him I didn't eat after 2:30 p.m. and was worried being around food would be too much of a temptation.
I waited for the eye rolling. And the lecture. And the questions. (i.e. "Is that healthy"?)
I got none of that! Instead I got validation. He told me one of his colleagues studied nutrition in college and showed him a study about intermittent fasting. My brother told me he had tried it and liked it.
"It's very healthy for your body and your brain!" he said.
Yippee!
But he wouldn't let me sit in the car. I went into the store with him. And I survived! It must have been my happy coffee!
After my niece's piano lesson, we sat around and looked at old pictures.
I was horrified when an old picture of my very fat self emerged in a photo album!
"AAACK!" I said. My niece looked up startled!
I told her I needed it for a before picture.
This is very embarrassing. But motivating. I have come so far! I honestly don't know when this was taken. And I have a feeling that my heaviest weight was more then my "Weightcommander" graph shows. I though 227 was my heaviest. This looks more like 250!
AAAACK!
How is it that I do not remember being this heavy?
O.k. I am determined to be honest, transparent and accountable on this blog.
Here it is: (Sorry it is so blurry. It is a picture of a picture! But even through the blur, the fat is apparent!)
So all of this hard work is not in vain!
And when times get tough, I have my happy coffee!
On that note, I need to run.
Happy Tuesday!
Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
