Intermittent fasting

[sak4kat]

I did research on IsaGenix for months.  Hmmm'd and Hawed over trying it for over a year.  I saw so many friends transform I thought heck I'll give it a shot.  I literally looked up each ingredient on the isalean shake to find out what it does and what the benefits are.  And I've learned a ton about how we loose nutrients that we should be getting from our soil.  I eat regular food.  If fact I eat really good food and often... whenever I'm hungry. And sometimes not so good.  Here's an example of what my days have been like since joining.  I used to get up and drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee while doing FC and other sites.  Then I'd eat a bowl of oatmeal and head to work.  Last night my husband and I went for a 5 mile bike ride (part of which is up a steep hill) And weeeee going down it is so much fun.  I was up until midnight.. he and I just chatting away (before Isa I was in bed by 10:00) I get up naturally with no alarm.  Drink 18 oz of water with a vitamin they all acccelerator.  I have a cup of coffee with cream and isa supreme) Then I drink a shake.  I packed my lunch.  Rode my bike to work (I'm a cake decorator in a Kroger store) 10:30 started shift.  12:30 got hungry took a break.  Ate a hard boiled egg and drank water.  Worked until 2:30 got hungry.  Ate bout' 2/3's cup of rice with sliced red bell pepper and havarti cheese. Drank another shake and more water.  Took another accelerator. Went back to work.  After 8 hours I rode my bike home.  2.2 miles on the bike today.  Husband and I went to Taco bell.  Ate a crunch wrap and taco supreme.  Drank more water.  Splurged tonight and had a cupcake. ... More water.  Tonight before bed I'll take another vitamin (they call it isaflush) Now I"m working online.  Feeling completely fullfilled.  Took my measurement after a bath... down 3 inches in the waste now.

I've tried intermittent fasting and did not think it was for me. Breakfast is a very important meal of the day I felt it was throwing off my metabolic rate all over the place. Ever hear of the 4-4-12 rule? I'm a heath coach and can tell you that if you're not resetting your metabolism properly then those skipping meal diets most likely will work for a short period. I do it just to reset as a cleanse for my body but don't stick with it for a long period of time. If you find me on my Facebook page kcurrieweightloss I will give you some tips. 😉

      I've not heard of this kind of fasting before, but I have about fasting. Maybe it will work for you. It's not like your not eating during the day, which is still good. You pick the times you eat. Good luck!

Resetting your metabolism - that's it that it!  I never knew the right words to explain how the cleanse works.  Thank you.  Now I know how to word what I'm trying to say simply rather going on this long spiel.

I have heard of this and would like to learn more in the future about it. Thanks for sharing.

For the lat 3 months I try to stop eating by 6pm and don't eat the the following day until noon. It can be a little rough at times, but it's working for me and I have been losing weight.

My son loves the keto diet ...

Thanks! I don't intend to do IF long term. I just thought I'd try it and see if it would give me a little boost for weight loss. I can usually maintain my weight by exercise alone. Last winter I had a long bout of depression, plus they closed the fitness center at my apartment for about 5 months. So I was gaining weight and no way to battle it. Once I get back to where I want to be, I should be able to get back to my normal routine and maintain.

I was losing weight really well but then got more of an appetite and sweet tooth back and now I don't think I am losing at all.   In fact may have gained 5 or 6 lbs. it is hard for me to tell about the weight gain because of health issues I hold water badly at times.  I think I may try some of your suggestions well not the 5-2 I also am not good at counting calories and 500-600 seems a bit low for being diabetic.

I have tried the intermittent fasting but have a hard time not eating ANYTHING for that amount of time.  What is the 16:8 fast that I saw mentioned a few times?

It's 16 hours of fasting and 8 hour window for eating. You choose when your 8 hours start and end. You just eat normally during your 8 hours, no binge eating but no counting calories either. The theory is when you fast and have no carbs to burn, your body converts fat to ketones for energy. Personally, I think the weight loss results from 16:8 fasting aren't necessarily from ketosis, but more likely the fact that you have a smaller window of eating time. Therefore you're consuming fewer calories than you normally would. Unless of course you're cramming 3 full meals into 8 hours, which I think would make me sick.

I've added Apple Cider Vinegar to my diet. It's supposed to aid in weight loss, but I haven't noticed any yet. I'm mostly taking it for it's other applications though. (Preventing High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, etc)
