Intermittent Fasting

You maybe saw my post from yesterday about fasting, and now you want to try this fasting thing out, so you need a game plan, well, in that case, you’re in the right place.

Even if you don’t want to get thinner, fasting it’s a great way to take care of your body and keep track of when you’re eating. I advise you to give it a try, at least for one week, see what happens and if you like it and find it convenient, stick to it.

In the beginning, it will be harder to do it because your stomach got used to receiving food at specific times every day, thanks to the three-meal a day thing so at first, you will have cravings. I usually need to get some food at around 4-5 pm, and at that time I always have cravings for some even if I’m not that hungry, but if I wait a bit more, that hunger disappears.

With time, it will get way more natural, I used to eat sometimes only in a 4-5 hour window something light like some watermelon or other fruits, and I wouldn’t have any cravings for more food, I felt good. I must say, that I had loads of energy, I was active, doing some workout, swimming, it was a good period, and fasting has constituted an essential part of that whole process.

I have to warn you, that no matter how fat you are, you will burn fats like crazy, getting thinner and thinner, looking and feeling better and better. This is probably not for everyone because maybe some just can’t do it because of their schedule but if you can, I urge you to try it out, you won’t regret it.

The hardest part is to get over those moments of cravings because that’s when the stomach is playing with your psychology but you will get used to it after a while and start to feel better.

Health Implications

Maybe many of you are asking right now “aren’t we going to die from this Guy?” and the simple answer is no, it is a healthy thing. Most people run away from something like this because they were taught that they need to eat at least three meals every day, but that is a complete lie made up by stupid people.

Many think that they will fuck up their stomach and have health issues later because their parents told them that is not healthy to get hungry, but that cannot be further from the truth. Some people eat nothing for more than one year, and they had no health issues, and if you type “fasting for one year” on Google, you’ll be blown away.

There are many benefits for eating like this besides burning fats and getting fitter, but I don’t know all of them, you can find them on the internet, but if I know, one thing is that you will have more energy. I used to feel good and feel more energetic while fasting.

Taking up the challenge

I am going to take up this challenge too because I like how I felt back then and I want to try it again. Food never seemed so important to me, that’s why maybe sometimes I was eating more than enough.

As in the Quit Sugar challenge, I will do this intermittent fasting for one month starting from today. I will only eat in an interval between 10 am and 6 pm, probably two meals a day, nothing too consistent, just enough to feed my body and feel fabulous again.

I’m not going to turn this into a massive challenge because maybe not everybody will be able to do it, it will just remain a small thing so if you want to join, feel free to do it because you’re doing it for yourself.I will document my sugar challenge and the fasting challenge journey in one post each week, or once every two weeks, so I let you know how everything’s going.

This means that I won’t be able to eat anything outside the 8 hour period, not even milk in my coffee. I have no idea how my coffee will taste like from now on since it will be both without milk and sugar, I will probably drink less.

Feel free sure to stick around if you want to see how the things are evolving.
