This is the testimony of someone who has had countless battles with food – and lost every one
about the fasting schedule after 12 weeks, I had lost just 6lb. Less than 3kg for three months’ effort. However, a few months after that, it was now 15lb . A year after beginning intermittent fasting, I was 32lb down.
So, I honestly don’t actually know how much weight I’ve lost, but it’s quite likely I haven’t lost or gained anything significant in the past 12 months. While intermittent fasting did result in weight loss, it appears to have levelled out.It’s hardly a surprise that hunger was the first, major “side effect” of intermittent fasting. It wasn’t unusual for a family member or work colleague to see me staring at a clock on the wall at 9am, 10am or 11.
Apparently, intermittent fasting can negatively affect your digestion – causing constipation, bloating, etc. Thankfully, I’ve avoided these side effects. Staying properly hydrated has surely been key., found that participants were significantly more irritable during a fasting period. It’s hardly rocket science – you’re hungry, therefore you’re grumpy and sullen. My family, though, is willing to testify that I was irritable and annoying long before I began intermittent fasting.
So many people have offered advice such as: “Avoiding thinking about food.” Has that ever worked for anyone? I found it better to just lean in. When the family is having a fry at 10am on a Saturday morning, I sit at the table with a coffee. There’s no point in hiding. Believe me, you can’t hide from the smell of a fry.
