LTU 5 yeah, I did it too.

A couple of things happened tonight.  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.

Cool, how long have you been doing it, and have you seen any changes to your body yet?

I only did it for like 3 months in a row back when I was listening to MLS. Then I stopped, I don't even remember why exactly. I just picked up again like 2 weeks ago. But when I was doing it when I was listening to MLS, I definitely saw changes to my body. Keep in mind that I was also exercising 3 times a week but I got my abs back and I lost 5 kg (11 pounds). I believe combining intermittent fasting and doing strength exercise 3 times a week is enough to keep you in shape. At least it as for me. If I got my diet fixed as well, I could have a really banging body. But that's never gonna happen because I just love food too much
