I Tried My First Intermittent Fasting Day Today…

I didn’t exactly stick to the rules though!

Hey everyone, Keith here, and today I attempted my very first 24 hour fast based on the eatstopeat program. Here is a little timeline of how my day went:

7pm Night Before
Finished a nice meal of Lasagne

12am Bedtime

8am Rise and Shine
No breakfast

Midday – Lunch Time
No lunch, however I did cheat and have 2 apples!

5pm Home Time
Starting to feel really hungry now

6.30pm Start Cooking Tea
I’m making a chicken curry from left over chicken. Cheated a bit here and ate some of the chicken!

7pm – Food!

I may have overeaten slightly as well when I had my evening meal, I had a bigger portion than I normally would have done but other than than I think it was pretty successful and my next fasting day should go a whole lot easier,

Tips

If I were to have my first fast again I would recommend doing it different than I did it, for starters I would have eased myself into fasting by just skipping lunch one time or skipping breakfast before diving straight into a 24 hour fast.

Also I definitely would not recommend eating something little to just get you through it like I did with my 2 apples. Those apples actually made me hungrier than I was before having them!

Drinking lots of water actually helped me as well, it gave me the feeling that I had eaten without actually eating anything.

Now I’ve just got to keep this up and throw in some exercise and I should reach my goals! I think next time I am going to give Eatstopeat another read before I dive in so I can have a proper plan of what I am doing as well!

Keith out.
