What I learnt from Intermittent Fasting
I love breakfast. It is the favourite part of my day. Whether it was a rushed sandwich before my morning commute or a lazy Sunday massive breakfast with the family, I love them all. Heck, I even had two breakfast-themed birthday parties. So it was no surprise that I was appalled when I was advised to “skip” breakfast to lose weight.
After leaving school I gained a significant amount of weight which was attributed to my desk job, plus terrible eating habits and lack of exercise. It took me a while to get convince myself to start getting healthier. With gained weight comes self-image issues which added more stress, which resulted in gaining more weight.
A friend advised me of the wonders of Intermittent fasting. Since I am someone with a much higher than needed body fat percentage I could easily avoid a meal and push my body to convert existing stored fat to energy for its use, which is what stored fat is for anyway. I wasn’t sold on the whole thing at first, but I tried it out and the results after 6 months was fantastic. I’ve been doing it for over two years, coupled with a few other diets and habits and I am more healthier and happier. Here are a few things I learnt from Intermittent fasting:
