Calorie Goal 900 to get me off the plateau I'm on
Exercise 600 curls and 150 pushes w/ 2 lb weights

Breakfast:
Taco 350

Lunch:
Taco 350

Dinner:
1 c chili 200
1 slice bread w/ peanut butter 150

I want to fast; though, my doctor doesn't want me to. I think diabetics may not handle ketoses well. That is, they may develop ketoacidosis. According to Wikipedia, "In diabetic ketoacidosis, a high concentration of ketone bodies is usually accompanied by insulin deficiency, hyperglycemia, and dehydration." Hyperglycemia is a stealth condition, which damages organs; then you know. My feet are numb, bad or hiking; caused by hyperglycemia and/or high blood serum cholesterol.

I"m frustrated by 150 lbs of fat that has helped ruin my life. I've hit a plateau at 355 lbs, eating about 1200 calories a day! That's half of the FDA recommended calories. I'm also having difficulty lowering my calories any more. If I cannot do something to get off this plateau, having a positive attitude will be difficult. A bout of depression is dangerous and unacceptable. The risk of ketoacidosis during a fast is acceptable. I must test my blood glucose and urine ketones daily or more, drink lots of water, and take my diuretic every day.

I don't know that I'm emotionally ready to fast; although, I've made the case logically that it is a better idea than staying at my current weight and becoming depressed. There's a little hope that my body will start loosing weight again at 1000-1200 calories. That's enough to prevent depression; I mean, loosing any amount prevents depression. The hope will fade if I don't loose weight. My doctor says that I should be patient and allow the vegan, whole foods diet, to work; everyone will loose down to normal weight.

It's easiest to go with the flow and be patient. How much can a metabolism slow; what's the minimum nutrition needed to maintain my current weight? I'll continue my regimen for a while, but the first sign of depression requires a fast.

Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.

Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
