Day 13 of ADF. I am down a total of 21 lbs. That’s 11 from my 7-day water fast and another 10 from ADF.
I allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning with 1 tbsp of heavy cream (measured!), 2 cups on the weekend because my husband is home. 
This hasn’t affected my weight loss progress as far as I am concerned. I’m steadily losing 4-5 lbs a week. In my books, that’s amazing!
There is nothing like this way of life. I absolutely DO struggle most days with food cravings, so don’t mistakenly think that I have a will of steel. I was struggling last night with thoughts that I should just give in and start eating OMAD every day… But then I thought about all the progress I am making, and how nice it will feel to fit into much smaller clothes this summer, not feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. I also have a strong relationship with God, so I pray and I read scripture. His word is my food and all I need to sustain me.
It all comes back to that decision I made. I’m fed up with letting food have the final say in how I feel physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. I will no longer be a slave to food. Food is my fuel, not the focus of every event, and it’s going to be nourishing food at that.
I still plan to do a 5 or 7-day fast beginning next Monday. It may be rough, but I am much more fat-adapted going into it than I was before. So I hope to have less keto flu symptoms this time around.
If I can do this, anyone can. Baby steps, friends. I know it can seem like a monumental task, but how do you eat that elephant?? One bite at a time.
