First, I had been thinking of trying intermittent fasting for a while now. Tonight, it was just the time to start. I didn’t plan on it when I went to work, it just hit me before I ate anything that that’s what I should do. So far I actually feel really good, and I won’t take any calories until dinner tomorrow making 24 hours. That seems to be how this one works. A change I want to make kind of percolates for a while and then it just becomes time. Then it seems like the most natural thing in the world.
Let us know how your intermittent fasting went. I do it too. It gets tricky when it`s lunch or dinner time because your body is so use to eating at that time, but if you persist the cravings go away.
Yeaterday went amazingly well. I fasted through my shift, went to bed, and fasted through to dinner for 24 hours. Thing is, I didn’t even feel it. I felt the remotest hunger pangs a couple of times, but nothing I couldn’t handle. I felt energized when I got up, and got a whole bunch of yard work done. No lethargy, no bad mood, none of the bad things I’d expect. It was kind of weird. I felt MORE energy and mental clarity than I usually do which is definitely not the case when I just forget to eat or don’t have time.
I found it a little hard to believe it was doing any good just because I didn’t feel anything.
Awesome, glad it went well! That's more less what I feel as well when I do it. Sometimes the 24 hour fast goes like a breeze, sometimes it`s more difficult. But definitely worth it. I just feel lighter that day somehow.
