So, it is day 10 of my Alternate Day Fasting Diet and I think I've hit a plateau! I have not lost anymore weight, but good news is I haven't gained it back!
Yesterday was the first day I "exercised" I went to a Zumba class for an hour but I wouldnt say that it was an intense workout. I changed my eating and fasting days this week (week 2) so that I could go to my weekly workout class. I find myself having very little appetite on my days I can eat, but forcing myself to eat at least 2 meals. I think that's one of the main reasons you lose weight, your stomach is shrinking.
After telling a few people about my diet, they are almost lecturing me about how unhealthy it is, but actually there are studies proving that it is healthy. Alternate-day fasting is appealing because it lets you focus hunger in manageable periods—instead of being a little hungry all the time, you're very hungry a little of the time. This diet can help lower blood sugar, decrease risk in heart disease, and even decrease the risk in Type 2 Diabetes!
Today is my fasting day and I am pretty hungry! I think it's because I know I can't eat! And the days I can eat, I'm not hungry! Ahh!
Starting tomorrow, the days I am allowed to eat, I will be working out. I will mainly be focusing on toning, but I think I will have at least 30 mins of cardio. And on my fasting days, I will do some toning excerises and no cardio!
