RE: Intermittent Fasting - An Honest Video Diary
That's not a real IF diet. In post time u shouldn't drink ANYTHING instead of water. Large amounts of water to stop hunger. The thing is to fit the caloric demand into a small time.
It does not matter which the version of the IF diet u choose. When you make exceptions to your diet, it's not a real diet anymore. Why anyone should start that diet? Well, to make themself more healthy, to lost some weight in a healthy way. For sure ~300kcal per day isn't the healthier way.
Thanks for your comment. It sounds as though you may have experimented with limiting your windows of eating. The 5:2 plan is another popular form of intermittent fasting, and one that works better with my lifestyle. :-) I provide some helpful resources and information in my initial fasting post, which I link to above. Feel free to check it out if you are interested in learning more about it.
It's not fasting unless you hold yourself to a eating window really. What you're doing (assuming you aren't holding to a feeding window) is a calorie restriction diet. Which is also incredibly beneficial.
Either way, kudos! Following! And i loved your Delilah cover.
I’m glad you enjoyed the Delilah cover! I think you made a great point about how the 5:2 plan is not technically fasting because I am still eating throughout the day. I wonder why it is so commonly referred to as a form of intermittent fasting then?
I actually tried a window of eating fast yesterday, and it went really well! I did a 20 hour water fast. I had dinner around 4 PM the day before and then had lunch at noon the next day. I might experiment with this form of fasting more, but seems like I would need to do it most days of the week to really see much benefit from it.
Thanks again for chiming in with some knowledgeable advice!
The nutrition world has been off some interest to me since '07. So I've accumulated a fair bit of 'good' observances. After my birthday at the end of the month I'm going to be doing a 30 water fast (well, water,tea, and coffee fast) to finally get rid of my abdominal fat. Thirty days or cut abs is the finish line.
