Good morning. I am slightly behind schedule this morning because I didn’t really feel like getting out of my bed. I slept great too. However this time it was Minx who kept moving in and out from under the covers. I finally gave up and got up. I actually ate breakfast this morning for the first time in years. I never ate breakfast so eating that early was not something I am use to. I watched this video over the…
Sometimes I’m amazed when I look at my stats to see which blogs are still popular getting consistent hits. Like this one on Intermittent Fasting two months later https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/08/31/intermittent-fasting-2-months-later/. This blog was written in August of 2018. However it wasn’t the popularity of the blog that struck me it was the date I wrote the blog because I STILL EAT THIS WAY!!!! Wow that’s along time and this blog was written two months later. I actually started eating the intermittent…
I didn’t want to write this yet but it is a success story that I need to share. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for over a year. I was doing a 16:8 fast. This is where you fast for 16 hours and eat during a window of 8 hours. For me that window of eating was 11-7. I was never a big breakfast eater so it worked well for me although I wasn’t really losing weight from it despite my…
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting at a 16:8 schedule for over a year now. What does that mean? It means I eat between in an 8 hour time frame and fast for a 16 hour time frame. For me I ate between the hours of 11-7. The rest of the time I ate nothing and consumed only water. I finished the book the obesity code The Obesity Code this weekend. I must say I learned something new about dieting from…
So week two is done and I lost another 2lbs. I think it is sufficient to say this was the diet for me over weight watchers. I am doing a strict Keto diet according to my Lifesum app https://lifesum.com/. I set my levels for 6% carbs, 20% protein and 74% fat. I did buy the Keto test strips and I do test my urine each morning. It has been the same since about day 4 at a moderate level. I’ve…
So I’m still doing intermittent fasting. In case you don’t know, this site offers a great beginners guide to fasting https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/intermittent-fasting-guide#section3. For me I follow a 16:8 cycle. I eat between the hours of 12-8 and fast the other hours. This is the cycle that works best for me and keeps me from noshing at night. My first post about this kind of eating was done on June 2 https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/06/02/its-not-the-grapes-intermittent-fasting-next/I am surprised it’s been two months already. This is what…
Intermittent fasting as per my favorite site Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting is: Intermittent fasting (IF) is an umbrella term for various diets that cycle between a period of fasting and non-fasting during a defined period. Intermittent fasting can also be used with calorie restriction for weight loss. There are two main ways to do this: ▪ Whole-day fasting involves regular one-day fasts. The strictest form would be Alternate day fasting (ADF). This involves a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period.[4]…
Well it’s not the grapes that caused the weight gain or preventing the weight loss. I think the swelling of the feet the and the weight are tied in somehow just don’t know how. I follow the weight watchers each week and nothing. I eat a mostly plant based diet and work out 5 days a week. Truthfully my clothes fit they just aren’t as loose as they should be. The bigger size pants are really too big but this…
