Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to make a small post to let you know that i am still here.
I am still eating healthy. I am 61 now and I have been eating this way for over 10 years.
I learned so much over the years.
Right now I am working from home due to this Coronavirus thing. It has been over 4 weeks now and I have been to the store 3 times and I have stopped by the office 3 times for about 5 minutes. Other than that - just my daily walks with my Rat Patrol..
They really keep me company thru all this.
About 4-5 months ago Hubby got real into KETO. I always tried to get him to eat healthy with me and he would have NONE of IT! But all of a sudden he was like "you should eat this, this Blah Blah Blah guy says to do this and eat that...
And I was like... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I have been trying to get you to eat that way for 10 years!!
He was a little bit overboard with the KETO thing - but I did it with him for a while cause it was basically the same as I was eating - but without the carbs. He has calmed down now a little but still does pretty good.
I pretty much eat the same way now that I have since I started this journey. Only now I am on Lockdown and can't go out to eat. LOL
OK well Peace and Love and BE SAFE!!

Stevia Chart
Some tips if you are having trouble
- First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
- Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
- Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
- Make sure you drink lots of water.
- Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
- Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
- Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
- Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.
I hope this helps.

So good to hear from you. You always were a great role model and inspiration to us all. I still want to lose about 20 lbs more, but I never gained any weight back and have kept the 35 I lost off. I do mostly keto, but I am not good with keeping track of my food. I love dairy, but try to avoid it and try to keep my carbs low. It's a lifestyle for me and I haven't had any gluten in 6 years. It's just easier to give it up all together. Will always be grateful for Jorge because his BFC plan got me started. I do fasting too. Mostly intermittent everyday eating in a 6-8 hr window. I have done some long fasts too, 4 days was the longest. I follow Dr. Jason Fung and he is big on fasting. I think it's good for the body to not have any food for a day or two. Take care and stay well.
ReplyDeleteOMG! It is absolutely wonderful hearing from you! So glad that you and the Rat Patrol are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for sticking with what works for you! I am a food addict and as soon as I started being bad, I continued. I am not as heavy as I was when I started BFC, but with another month of quarantine I will be! We typically eat out 3 or 4 times a week and no leftovers. When I cook, I still cook for the family, so there is a LOT of leftovers. I am ready to quit cooking and be back in the restaurants where I belong. Our people miss us :)
