One Step Behind

Sunday, June 4, 2023

I picked up a win yesterday: after missing last weekend's mark, I was able to fat fast successfully. In light of doing it, I am now below the threshold average of 75 grams of protein per day, tying 28E...but, that may or may not be jacked up a bit today. I would not be opposed to running it back for another day.

I ought to define my version of a fat fast since folks have their own versions. I just strip out the protein macro (inasmuch as I can). I apply the same structure as I do water fast. In the same fashion as I do not limit water intake, I do not limit fat. I mean, I guess technically there's a calorie drop-off if that was important—a dropoff in the 100-300 range. But, there are those who also limit fat intake with respect to normal consumption thereby dropping their total calorie consumption for the day to a non-satisfying, semi-starving 1000-1200 kcal. Well geez, Beav, fast then!

Overall, it is something weekly I do that is unique to this Expedition as I stamp out sugar, even that from protein.

Fat fast is a bad term—if it was not for the alliteration, I would drop the nomenclature altogether...

...but, I do love alliteration.

I've been watching Fat Head (2009), an amusing rebuttal to Spurlock's Supersize Me (2004) (a film I once took stock in during that era). I like Naughton's perspective because...well, its a bit of practical wisdom. And it's totally irreverent to Spurlock and calls him out for his chicanery. And hey, even with my sugar firewall, I totally could lose weight at McDonald's, too. Does butter there have sugar?

McD's coffee, butter, burger, eggs. Booya! FTW.
