Several years trying without success… Then lost 10kgs (22pounds) in 3 months [part1 of 2]

After several years trying to lose weight without any kind of success, I finally got my recipe to achieve my goal! My weight was an average 85kgs (187pouds) for last 8 years, and even with some regular exercise, the damn scale always insisted to give the same bloody weight!

Finally, this summer I read a book about alternative #medicine practices. One got my attention, the intermittent #fasting.

I was skeptical about this matter, as it contradicts most of the nutritionists, whom say we should eat several times per day. Nonetheless I was willing to try, and I must say that was the best choice I could ever had.

I was able to lose 10kgs (22pounds), to the 75kgs (165pouds), my goal in a long time.

Basically, I tried to have dinner no later than 8pm, and having my first meal (lunch) at 12am, completing a 16 hour fast. I haven’t done it all days, but if you do it at least 3 days a week, you should start to get good results.

It is specially efficient if you finish this 16 hour fast period with some #exercise. The reason is that at this moment, your body has started to produce energy through your accumulated fat and not from your digestive system.

Below 10 health benefits of fasting:

• Lose weight and belly fat;
• Improves brain function and mental clarity;
• Improves insulin sensitivity/ lowering risk of type 2 diabetes;
• May help prevent cancer;
• May help you live longer;
• May be beneficial for your cardio health;
• Can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body;
• Improves blood fat levels;
• Can help improve eating patterns;
• Can curb hunger.

Next week, I will complete the details of my program with the kind of exercise I have done. It’s easy, inexpensive, and you could do it at the comfort of your home.
