Fasting Fast

IsabellaShoshana

Hi, I usually have issues fasting and withholding from food but I tried it yesterday and it mostly worked. Only cheated when I was studying deeply for an exam and needed a rewarding small piece of cake.
Today, not fasting so much but limiting to just a salad with no oil or dressings.
Probably gonna come home late and grab another slice of the cake, no judgement.

May I suggest that fasting and studying for exams are probably not a great combination? Your brain needs energy when you're taking in information. Hitting it with a fast followed by a sugar rush might not be the best way to nourish your brain when you need it at peak performance.

May I ask why you're fasting, as opposed to consuming a balanced diet in a calorie deficit?

There's nothing wrong with fasting. I was at a standstill for a month and half until I did a 16/8 split (fast 16 hours, eat in 8 hour window) and Im already down 3 lbs. Its allowing me more calories at night, which is great because I'm a nighttime snacker. Do what works for YOU!

I just started looking into fasting and it seems like a great way to start healing the body- my 1 vice that is going to be a problem is my coffee. I know black is okay, but creamer is what makes it delicious, so that will "break my fast" according to what I've read. Anyone know of anything creamer-like that is ok during a fast?-or am I just screwed? lol
