Woke up at 8:22 a.m. Sunday morning March 31
Plan to drink 2 liters of water and walk at least 6000 steps …aiming for 10,000
I was very mindful of my plan to do a 16 hour fast today. Or as they say in the fasting world, 16/8 schedule.
Thomas DeLauer of 6 Pack Abs says that I should end my fast with a high glycemic meal. I didn’t see that on YouTube until after my first meal today.
My first meal is at 12 pm (noon) today.. I stopped my meals yesterday at 8 pm. I went to Mojitos with some friends. Unfortunately, I ate quite a bit of food including guacamole, churros and veggie empanadas plus some vodka with cranberry juice. Then at home I had some popcorn smothered with butter.
Yeah, I packed on 2.5 lbs instantly to see if I could lose the 2.5 lbs instantly with intermittent fasting. This will be helpful for my Always Eating Out lifestyle!
At 12pm – Noon, at the end of my 16 hours from sleeping and waiting until noon to eat, my stomach was cramping a little. And I was ravenous. But that is probably because I normally eat by 9 am.
DeLauer says we should have a high-glycemic meal after our fast. No problem! Didn’t know, so I didn’t do it today
Today I broke my fast at 12: 26 pm with –
Salad (baby romaine, roma tomatoes, shredded carrots, and 1/4 avocado with sunflower seeds) with this blog’s balsamic dressing. Also a Sourdough/Pepperjack grilled sandwich with a cup of coffee.
While I was fasting I only had Aquafina water and black coffee.
at 2:45 pm I don’t feel hungry!
1 bowl of broccoli soup… which the recipe is on this site as well.
For dinner I had BBQ ground chicken patty. Salad with Honey Mustard dressing and 1 slice of Sourdough with butter on it.
I also had 2 ounces of dark chocolate bar. Need my magnesium! lol
I don’t think it was that hard and actually I stopped eating around 6:15!
DeLauer says that you should only fast 3-5 times a week or you may lower your metabolic rate. I’m ok with that.
But, I plan to do it again tomorrow!
