⏰Today’s CHEATCODE: What happens the first week of fasting?
.
⏰Experts recommend starting with just a couple of days a week and working your way up, while others suggest gradually increasing the number of hours you fast from 12 up to 20h.
.
⏰So I tried the gradual approach, starting with 12, then extending my fasted hours over the course of the week.
.
⏰My favorite fasting regimen is 16:8. With a 12 noon – 8pm eating window. Once I got into my fasting groove, it was easy!
.
⏰I would suggest that in the morning you drink some tea or coffee and keep busy working until 12 noon.
.
⏰Then eat a light healthy lunch, exercise and later a filling dinner and bedtime snack.
.
⏰I crossed off the majority of my to-dos in the morning while drinking a lot of water, black coffee and green tea. Within a couple of days this became my new normal, the hangry switch turned off.
.
⏰Fasting taught me how to be comfortable with the discomfort of hunger. What helped? Coffee, tea, keeping a schedule and knowing that hunger is just a sensation that comes and goes.
.
⏰Just make sure you eat the recommended calorie deficit during your eating window.
.
⏰I only fasted 7 days and lost 10lbs. I definitely ate less food and weirdly felt less hungry, which over time resulted in major fat loss (80lbs total over 8-12 months). Plus I’ve learned how to tell my hunger pangs who’s boss!
