When I first started intermittent fasting for weight loss, I experienced some pretty funky side effects. Side effects I never experienced from other weight loss plans before. From dry mouth to wild dreams, it seemed like my body was living in some strange alternate dimension!
Intermittent fasting for weight loss isn’t a new concept. In this post I dive into how I use simple and mindful techniques to manage your hunger.
When I started to understand and recognize just how black coffee made me feel, that black coffee started to taste better and better every day. Let’s talk about how we can find the right black coffee for you.
For many intermittent fasters, black coffee is like a religion. For me, it was one of the hardest transitions that I had to make when I switched to a clean fast. But, once I found the right type of coffee, and understood and started to experience its benefits, that bitter drink became really easy to swallow!
When I started intermittent fasting, getting my workouts in was a major concern. I was convinced that I could not workout without properly fueling with either food or a pre-workout. Turns out, I didn’t need that pre-workout to fuel my workout after-all, but that doesn’t mean that ALL people fall into that category.
“Enjoy your skinny body now because once you turn 40, you’re just going to gain weight. All the women in our family are heavy. It’s part of our DNA. You can’t escape it!”
Being this goddess of cardio, abs and long runs that I was, pre & post workout fueling was literally stitched into the fabric of my everyday life…for DECADES
When I started IF it was for the sole benefit of weight loss. I had 50 pounds to lose and wanted very desperately to get rid of the bulge. The only mental aspect that I focused on was feeling better about fitting into my clothes again.
If you think the reason you can’t lose weight is because you eat too much and you don’t get enough exercise, I think you need to give yourself a little break.
As a 45 year old women with two kids I have zero time or tolerance for complicated systems and processes. What and how I eat is very high on that list. Lucky for us, not only is intermittent fasting simple, it’s a breeze to get started.
I like to think of intermittent fasting as giving your body the time to do the things that it needs to do. Things that it can’t do if you are constantly consuming food (even in small doses) all day long.
Does anyone remember Bodies In Motion with Gilad Janklowicz? I do. My dad and I would record his workouts on the VHS and workout together everyday after I got home from school. I keenly remember my rebellion
