Hello All, :)

Just a quick question. For 2 week I've been watching my calories pretty close keeping them around 1200-1300 cal a day.

***PS- I know that's pretty low and it's considered under eating for my age, size, workouts ect. I'm Just experimenting and trying to find a system that personally works for me & breaking through a weight loss stand still , please no lectures on how I need to eat more ect ect ect***

ANYWAYS, last night after dinner I declared my cheat meal/cheat eating period whatever you want to call it.. I ate to the point of being uncomfortable... on the edge of puking my face off lol...

So waking up this morning food was the last thing on my mind. I didn't feel guilty about what I ate or anything like that. But I didn't feel good and simply wasn't hungry so I decided to fast all day today and just start my normal eating schedule tomorrow. My question is: Is that okay? I am still not hungry, I been sipping on water (currently at 1/2 a gallon and it's 1:47pm) and I had a plain coffee.

Any advice/comments/tips/questions/thoughts ?

    It's completely fine, your body does not run on a 24 hour clock. The calories you consume each day is not that important as long as you hit your weekly calorie goal. For instance, if you eat 1300 calories a day normally, you could eat 2600 calories one day, and then fast the next day and it averages out, and it's fine.

    Listen to your body, it usually tells you what it needs ;) It's certainly not going to kill ya, but I wouldn't do it often. I know there is a fasting program out there (intermittent fasting or something like that) that people swear by.
