The Dreaded Plateau

Now you may be saying to yourself “we’ve all been there just push through its worth it!”

I’d agree with you, but somehow my plateau is right now! In the beginning of this new journey! The beginning!

That is just so rude!

I have been working out for nearly 4 week, I have been doing intermittent fasting.

I have made 0 progress.

The scale hasn’t moved.

My clothes don’t fit better.

My measurements haven’t changed.

This shouldn’t be happening right off the bat, which means I’m either A. Not doing enough or B. Still somehow eating WAY too much or C. I’m doing something very wrong.

I’m trying to get steps in, I’m working out, and I’m doing some fasting.

So I think I’m doing enough.

With the fasting I’ve been doing 18:6 I don’t know that I eat more than I used to. Though when I make food at 2 I’m not really hungry by 6 when I have to cook dinner for others. And no matter how hungry (or not hungry) I am, I will eat a full helping.

I love carbs, give me a plate of spaghetti and I will eat the entire thing no matter how big the dish.

So maybe I need to go back on fasting because I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to be eating more protein than carbs.

OK I’m not pretty sure I’m very sure. It’s just so much easier said than done!

So I’m back on a mission to find protein and sneak it in anywhere I can.

So many recipes call for avacado or cottage cheese both of which are absolutely disgusting to me lol. A lot of protein recipes call for cheese and just 🤢

When I look up dairy free protein recipes I get mostly vegan recipes but I like eggs and meat!

So yes back to my main point.

Something has to give so I can break past this ridiculous starting plateau.

And it all comes back to Nutrition.

Sighhhh maybe one of these days I’ll figure it out.
