My story: 54, female, 240 lbs., pre diabetes, classic metabolic syndrome. On 7 medications, every joint in my body hurts, can't move, spikes depression and anxiety. Hate myself, hate my life. How on earth did I get there ? .... I read 'the obesity code', have nothing to loose, take it from there. 7 MONTHS LATER: IF (18 -20 hrs.) and healthy Keto. Lost 65 lbs., reversed t2diabetes ! Normal blood pressure! I walk, swim, bike and run. ALL PAIN IS GONE and have good keto bloodwork ! I LOVE my life and feel mentally so awake and clear; feel physically an athlete. I enrolled into my FIRST TRIATHLON in September 2022. THIS STORY IS MEANT As a motivation to everyone who feels like I did ! YOU CAN DO IT !

MY Healthy keto: using exclusively extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil. 1/2 Avocado&5olives, 2 egg whites,1 yolk daily. Grass fed beef, fatty fish, chicken etc. Vegetables and fruits, nuts, salads: low on carbs/sugar. Generell: Foods as close as natural as possible, preferably not processed or out of a box/barcode. Vegetable/bone broth helps me when I feel in need of salt or have cravings (rarely). I eat mindfully, until I am satiated, cut off time:7pm. I hope that gives you an idea and helps out.

This makes me more determined to get my sleep schedule under control. I've struggled with insomnia since childhood (and unsurprisingly, I've also struggled with my weight and energy levels), but the thing that really gets me is the inconsistency. I'll have a couple days of perfect sleep, and then I won't get more than 5 hours a night for the next two weeks. Now I'm in my 30's and finally feel like I'm reaching a place of balance, but it's taken a lot of work and it's only because I work from home now (because I can stay up and sleep later like my body seems to want).

I do sleep better with less carbs (I don’t do keto but I try to limit carbs and eat almost no sugar). I have found a regular sleep schedule is fairly miraculous in terms of quality sleep. 11:30-7:30 every day is perfect for me. I used to wake up a lot at night but now just once to go to the bathroom then right back to sleep. Also, if I don’t sleep well for some reason, I do find I eat more to try to get more energy, but it doesn’t really work.

I’ve been working night shift for the past year. I gained 10lbs within 5 months of working night shift. I struggled to lose those 10lbs because am always so hungry at night. I started doing the fasting and I’ve been able to lose about 5lbs. Not as fast as I would want to lose it but it’s hard when you are up all night and can’t get enough sleep during the day because you have other responsibilities. I still have 5more lbs to lose. Wish me luck. Ps. I workout at least 3 times a week.

Six seems about right for me. Even when I deliberately sleep as long as I want, I tend to sleep around six hours. If I sleep eight or ten hours, my back and neck get sore. If I get my butt out of bed when I wake up naturally, I feel better, and that's usually around five or six hours. During the week, I tend to get about five. PS: In my experience, what really matters most is going to bed and waking up at the right times, and my sleep issues are with that. Worse, yup, I get hungry when I'm up really late.

Hormones have always been my problem. I gained a pot belly as soon as I started menstruating. I bet when I go into menopause, I will lose a lot more weight. Fasting is the only diet that works for me along with Organic teas / supplements

I stopped working shifts 2 years ago, since then I finally have been able to loose weight. Still I have trouble sleeping enough and when I have bad nights I am eating more.

I’m a private-duty caregiver and work 12-hour night shifts. When I work days, I usually sleep pretty well, and feel pretty good. When I work nights, not so much. What are people who work nights supposed to do? I doubt I even get six hours a day.

When I was fat, I slept for 9 hours and had to drag myself out of bed. Now I've done keto for 6 years, with intermittent fasting, I only need 5 to 6 hours a day.

Doc, what if a person sleeps for 6 hours, wake up in the morning, and then take a nap in the afternoon for 1.5 hour. Will that count as 7.5 hours of sleep/day and that person will benefit from the higher leptin level and more weight loss or does nap not count??

@larryc1616 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that happens to me too with 6 hours. It means you're sleeping too little. I don't have that napping problem if I get 6.5hours of sleep.

Its so true, I always lose weight after 8 hours of sleep

@simstar6557 2 жыл бұрын

You lose weight after 8 hours of waking too, assuming you don't eat or drink in that time. Our bodies constantly lose weight through urine and water vapor in breath.
