Hello, friends:
In this post, I'd like to share my experience with intermittent fasting, which has become more than just a "nice regimen" for me. It's transformed into a lifestyle that's helped me improve my physical and mental health and increased my awareness of what I eat daily.
What is intermittent fasting? (Simply put)
It's a principle based on setting eating and fasting times throughout the day, rather than eating like an addiction. This means I fast for 16 hours (including sleeping hours), and I eat for only 8 hours—from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Some people prefer a regimen like the 10/14. The important thing is to find what works best for your body and routine.
?Why did I start intermittent fasting
Thanks. I didn't start just for
weight loss. I wanted to:
Choose a random choice.
And indeed, after the first two weeks, I started to notice a difference!
The Benefits I Experienced
My
sleep improved more than expected, and
My stomach felt lighter. I usually feel heavy or sluggish after eating.
Focusing on my daytime routine improves a lot (especially during the
fasting period).
And I can't deny that my weight loss occurred naturally without depriving myself too much.
?Is Fasting Difficult
At first? A little, especially if you're used to eating
breakfast in the morning.
But over time, the body adapts amazingly, and I sometimes forget I'm fasting. The key is:
?Is It Important
I hear you, don't stress about it. The goal is to torment the soul, to regulate it.
There is no 100% correct method. What works for you is the right one.
Can I drink coffee or tea while fasting?
Yes, and the calorie content varies with drinks such as black coffee, which does not contain sugar. However, avoid any additives such as cheese or artificial sweeteners. Do I have to start fasting for 16 hours?
No. You can start with 12 or 14 hours and increase suddenly according to your comfort level. The idea is to adapt, not stress. Do I need to follow certain types of foods or follow a specific diet?
Not necessarily. Fasting doesn't necessarily mean choosing specific foods, but it's preferable to choose healthy meals during the eating period. I hear you. If you feel uncomfortable, you might consider fasting and postpone the attempt until late at night. Safety first.
Intermittent fasting is suitable for everyone, especially if you have health issues or complex lifestyle choices.
If you're consuming enough protein and doing resistance training, fasting will relax your muscles and help improve them.
