If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know I’ve been experimenting with fasting.
I love the way fasting makes me feel: I’m more alert, I lose weight, and any brain fog disappears. I feel healthy, and my mood stabilizes. I feel calm and positive when I fast.
However, there are some big downsides.
My kids worry when I fast. My daughter in particular doesn’t understand it. All she sees is Mum not eating, and she gets scared I might be sick.
There’s also the social aspect. It’s hard to go out for lunch with friends and not eat. Or to bake with my kids and not even try what they make.
So I’m going to try semi-fasting from today.
Total calories per day: less than 500, and ideally zero. Water and black / green tea only. Food to consist only of soups and smoothies.
I’ll track how I go 😃
