RE: Diets: #3 Intermittent Fasting

in #nutrition6 years ago (edited)

Dear lovely @jasmink, thanks for sharing your great post about fasting. It is always a try worth and yes, you might feel hungry and hopefully after a while the feeling is gone. Let´s say having a day with not eating isn´t bad, more the opposite, because your machine (body) needs the time without food to have the energy left to work on other parts, like cleansing. After that time, even if you just start fasting with just 3 days, gives you the opportunity to get a new view to the amount you normally eat, how often and how long are your breaks between the meals. I´m totally agree with you, that everyone is different and should just find out their own rythm in fasting. To your answer, yes the first fasting is interesting and a new experience for this person, right? My first wasn´t for example 21 days. No, and that´s okay! You are doing it for you, not for someone else. So, allow yourself to choose the time you woul like to take for the first time. In my case, it was a week, so 7 days. To your post belongs, intermediate fasting works fine. Just don´t eat the whole next day and start the day after at mid with a fresh pressed juice :) May it is not the exact amount of hours, however it is more the point of "not eating at a special time, and you should decide how long this short time will be!" That all honey! Think about sugar for example: Why people adding sugar? Because you would like to have something sweet, right? So, everything what is sweet works, if you don´t wanna use the typical cristal sugar for example. Get inspired of everything in life, but always create and follow your own inspiration you get out of it :)

I wish you all the best, your @diemama :)

Thank you for your comment and the resteem dear @diemama! You're so right, fasting is always worth a try, but nowadays we easily see it as something bad, and hard to execute because of the overabundance of food (at least in the Western countries). Your comment really made me think about juice fast/cleansing, of which I got interested by the document Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. There are just an abundance of different fasts and ways to cleanse one's body, and they should be more disclosed. Today we're eating way too much junk and causing a lot of strain to our bodies.

One sentence of yours really hit me, "You are doing it for you, not for someone else." This is something we all should keep in mind, always! For example, if we want to fast, we should do it for our own good, and not for anyone else.
Have a lovely week! :)

You too sunshine and thanks for your great feedback. I really appreciate it!
