RE: Day 1 of my 3 Day water fast completed!
I've been doing intermittent fasting for around 16-18 hrs each day, breaking the fast around noon. It's been three weeks now. The first week was pretty easy as I had built up a lot of toxins, but last week, I felt really lethargic. There were days where I fasted for 20 hours and felt extremely weak. Not sure if I'm not eating enough during my eating window or what. Lost 3lbs last week, which is good, but don't like feeling this way. But I've heard the benefits of multi-day fasting. I'm not sure if I'm ready for it though.
It's surprisingly hasn't been all that difficult, my cousin used to do IF pretty regularly and swore by it. I think it's totally worth checking out. I'm no expert but under the impression you do need to try to get your full day's caloric intake during your eating window.
Yes, I definitely need to eat more during my 8 hour eating window. Thing is, I get full after lunch and don't eat until dinner. I like that I'm dropping weight and losing fat, but I need to figure out how many calories I need to eat, otherwise I'll keep losing weight or get really fat after a binge fest.
