I'm on my 3rd day of intermittent fasting, and it's 12.10pm now so I have another like 1 hour 20 mins to go before I can start eating so here I am, writing, to distract me from thinking about foooood. My SIL have been promoting this intermittent fasting since forever but I haven't had the time to do enough research and reason to do it until just recently.
From the little research I did intermittent fasting is eating in a certain period of time and then put your body in a fasting mode to kinda force it to burn whatever you have. There are few ways to do it but the simplest I could do is the 16:8 one which is 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating. It goes against the traditional "eat 5 times a day to keep your metabolism at par/breakfast is the most important meal of the day". So basically what I did is start eating at around 1230pm and stop eating after 830pm. Since I am going out for dinner tonight, I extended my starting time to 130pm so I can stop eating by 930pm. Gitew kau gigih.
So far it has been okay. I mean, I'm only on my day 3 there's really not much can be said kan. Weight wise...hurm, I can't really tell. Last week I had weigh-in session so I was at X kg. Over the weekend I had like food fest like no other, eating shell out TWICE, cakes and dessert and pasta and aish semua2 la so when I weigh myself last monday I was at X+3kg. This morning I weigh myself and I've gone down to X+1 kg. Tak tau la how accurate it is since I just finished my period sometimes time period memang berat naik pun. So gotta wait until next week I supposed?
My critical time would be around 1030-11pm so I would be drinking water with chia seed. But I found out chia seed has around 70kcal tapi tak pela bagi discount sikit kan. In the morning is one of the toughest la. The first hunger wave comes around 8am when I usually feed myself. And then around 10-11am so I will keep on drinking water and green tea until the wave calms.
Let's hope I can keep this up for 2 weeks minimum! And I hope this will yield results. 45 minutes until my first meal of the dayyyy ayyyy
