Ep43-my 3 year I.F. Anniversary
January 18, 2022 is the day that I decided to start intermittent fasting. It’s been three years and I haven’t looked back. It has been a series of ups and downs and unlearned behaviors. I’ll share two of my unlearned behaviors.
- I had to unlearn that breakfast is the most important meal of the day in reality whatever meal you eat is the most important meal of the day and
I don’t have to eat as soon as I get up in the morning. For a long time, I believed that if I eat as soon as I wake up in the morning that I was revving up my metabolism, but in reality, I was raising my insulin and causing my body to start digesting food. I learned over the last three years that It requires a lot of energy for the body to digest food so it’s actually taking away my energy.
2.I learned that my body can heal itself if I allow it. The body heals and repairs itself while we’re sleeping for a while we are fasting meaning not eating. The longer I allow my body to go without food the more it can repair and heal itself from the inside out. My body has repaired itself by releasing 58 pounds & reversing my pre-diabetes diagnosis. I had to unlearn that I needed some outside medication or weight loss plan in order to regain my health. My body did all of this naturally without any medicine or any weight loss plans.So those are two of the things that I learned over the last three years: my body does not need to be digesting food all day, and my body can heal itself if I let it.
I hope the information that I have provided helps you with your health and weight loss journey. I’m not a doctor so please don’t use anything that I say as a substitute for medical advice.
