#intermittentfasting

1 post1 participant0 posts today

So this isn’t a post about dieting but about #facebook nazies.

I have decided to do #intermittentfasting. I’ve just finished #menopause which has been just ‘fun’ 🙄. I’ve put on the excess weight and I have to work out what to do. My parents, in their 80s, have done #it and it seems to work when you have terrible metabolism.

I joined #bodyfast, German, pretty good, did a sample a year ago and it kind of works for me.

Just for your info #IF is not about counting calories, they say it very clearly when you join don’t do it. It isn’t about stopping people eating what they like, they made that pretty clear.

So they tell me i SHOULD JOIN THEIR #FACEBOOK. I did. I hate Facebook and really should just shut it again. I opened it to sell furniture while moving to Perth.

So Facebook says share a photo I have taken and introduce myself, so I did.

I’m quite proud of this #christmascake it looks pretty good.

OMG the questions: why did you share this picture? Do you know how much sugar is in fruitcake. Long diatribe of how bad this is. What was I thinking?

So I left the group. Facebook asked why and I said I didn’t like the members.

Do you like my fruit cake?

Now it's a year later. I've lost almost 30 lbs in a slow and controlled fashion. I eat a wider variety of plants now than I used to (even mushrooms! I used to hate those). I have shifted my cravings from sweet to more bitter. Never before would I have thought I'd just drink plain coffee or complain about donuts being too sweet! And most importantly, it's comfortable and sustainable *for me*. I don't feel like I'm missing anything and I eat enough. I'm happy.

Having a doctor say to eat more fruits and vegetables wasn't enough. But reading that book on ultra-processed foods was. Along with intermittent fasting, I had a new strategy to try. So I made two changes: cutting out a lot (but not all) ultra-processed foods and keeping myself to a shorter food day. Often it's 8 hours, but I'm flexible. On work days, it's easy for me to eat breakfast later, but on weekends, I'm more lenient so I can share the meal with my wife.

#IntermittentFasting #UPF 4/?

About a year ago, my wife had to fast prior to a surgery, and I decided to fast in solidarity. It was noon before I ended up eating that day, but I managed it fine. I'd heard about intermittent fasting (or time-restricted eating) and the benefits it might have for weight management, and I decided that over the next few days, I'd see how well I'd manage on just a 10 or so hour food day.

I slept like a log last night before being woken up by Child #2 at 04:55. Then I went to the gym for a #deadlift workout, which is best in life. I pulled 130 kg (287#) for 12 reps @ RPE 9, for a 187 kg (413#) e1RM. (I know estimating from so many reps is bad!)

Still full of energy after walking the kids to school I ran a 27:15 5k, a 3.5 minute PB in my 40s (though I haven't run 5k in 6 weeks).

All before breaking my 16 hour #intermittentfasting fast. What a day! ☺️

Fasting provides amazing health benefits & longevity. It's our natural way of eating, since we didn't evolve on munching all the time, especially as adults. So human feeding should be as follows IMHO:

0-8 year old: meals multiple times a day

9-18: 3 times/day, snacking only if really necessary

19-35: 2 times/day, no snacks

36-to life: 2 times/day 4 days a week & 1 time/day 3 days a week (e.g. Mon-Wed-Fri), no snacks.
