Hi Y'all,
The hubs and I have been doing intermittent fasting for exactly one week now. How are we doing? I can only speak for myself, but it's going better than I had hoped. Of course I sometimes feel a little hungry. But as we eat a fairly balanced diet, I don't have any cravings and I don't feel like I'm making any big sacrifices.
On Saturday, instead of starting breakfast at around nine like we usually do, then staying in bed and scrolling on our cell phones and before you know it, it's lunchtime, we both had a real activity boost. Just get out of bed and do something! OK, for me it was cleaning the windows and sweeping the patio, but that has to be done too. And so we had our well-deserved breakfast at one o'clock. A good feeling, I can say.
Did I do anything differently than planned? Yes, indeed. Firstly, as I just described, we also did it at the weekend, even though we only wanted to limit ourselves to workdays. But we didn't want to completely shake up our metabolisms - a bit of consistency isn't wrong, otherwise the body is constantly busy adjusting.
In addition, the eating window from 12 noon to 8pm wasn't really practical for us, so we moved it by an hour to 1pm to 9pm. We're fine with that, and even if they say you shouldn't eat dinner that late, the Italians or Spaniards, for example, don't give a flying rat's ass about it :-)
Did it show on the scales? Yessiree - 1.2 kg! I don't expect that streak to continue, but was very pleased anyway.
With that being said - enjoy your spring time big time!
