RE: Intermittent Fasting - An Honest Video Diary

in #fasting7 years ago (edited)

It's not fasting unless you hold yourself to a eating window really. What you're doing (assuming you aren't holding to a feeding window) is a calorie restriction diet. Which is also incredibly beneficial.

Either way, kudos! Following! And i loved your Delilah cover.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Delilah cover! I think you made a great point about how the 5:2 plan is not technically fasting because I am still eating throughout the day. I wonder why it is so commonly referred to as a form of intermittent fasting then?

I actually tried a window of eating fast yesterday, and it went really well! I did a 20 hour water fast. I had dinner around 4 PM the day before and then had lunch at noon the next day. I might experiment with this form of fasting more, but seems like I would need to do it most days of the week to really see much benefit from it.

Thanks again for chiming in with some knowledgeable advice!

The nutrition world has been off some interest to me since '07. So I've accumulated a fair bit of 'good' observances. After my birthday at the end of the month I'm going to be doing a 30 water fast (well, water,tea, and coffee fast) to finally get rid of my abdominal fat. Thirty days or cut abs is the finish line.
