Nice to meet you. Those are awesome results and I am positive that there are benefits to fasting. My grandmother was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She didn't intentionally fast, but she never spent money on herself and gave to everyone she met. She was also a very busy women and she would go hours without eating. She lived to be 102 and it was a fall that caused her health to decline.
Right now I've been overeating. I am ready to begin my journey back into healthy living . I followed you and look forward to your future health posts!
Hi there! Really interesting to hear about your grandmother! After having read about fasting and tried it I am convinced that her unintentional fasting must have contributed a great deal to her health and long life.
Intermittent fasting is easier than longer fasts. And, you can still eat a lot during the hours you eat, so you do not feel deprived. There is a study on mice that shows that the group that was eating unhealthy and calorie rich foods but was only allowed access to them during 8 hours, was protected from a bunch of diseases. This, while another group ate exactly the same amount of the same food, but was nibbling throughout the day and night got fat and started having all sorts of health problems.
So, I think that one slightly simpler way of becoming healthier is to limit the hours that you eat and fast the other hours. Anyways, that has been my experience. I don't know if it might help.
Cheers!
I guess I'll start by not nibbling all hours of the day. That might be a bit easier than fasting right from the get go!
Awesome!
