I could've easily gone the full 24 hours, but I just didn't feel the need for it.<br /><br />The 19/5 schedule is just very comfortable for me :)<br /><br />19 hours of fasting where I feel on top of the world and a bit proud knowing I can stick to it.<br />And a 5 hour eating window which is plenty of time to be able to eat the nutrients my body need.<br />(And perhaps a li'l something less nutritious I've been craving)Cindellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-72205599090310146862011-02-16T13:45:39.330-08:002011-02-16T13:45:39.330-08:00I am actually monitoring my caloric intake now. I...I am actually monitoring my caloric intake now. I know I can easily maintain my weight with intermittent fasting, I've done it for a long time now. Obviously I was eating more than I needed to eat during my fed state, so I'm keeping an eye on those calories until I reach goal. Then it's total freedom!!! This strategy is working...I'm at my lowest weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-29488819379449981002011-02-16T02:14:17.787-08:002011-02-16T02:14:17.787-08:00Yes, don't give up.

You have done so good so far, an I'm sure it's just a matter of time until it starts going down again :)<br /><br />The more I read about IF and the physiologies behind it the more I am getting convinced this is for me, and something I'd want to do for the rest of my life both for health, longevity and weight maintenance.<br /><br />I am still fine-tuning my own IF to find what suits me the best. I will try two 24-hour fasts per week, starting the first one tonight.<br />(I will fast from dinner to dinner so I still can eat with my family)<br /><br />It will be interesting to see where I end up.<br />(Two 24-hour fasts per week? 16/8? 17/7? 18/6? Fast-5?)<br /><br />Perhaps some kind of combination ...Cindellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-88879367329779518032011-02-15T21:36:17.006-08:002011-02-15T21:36:17.006-08:00Hey Jenna!

I'm looking forward to weighing again because I need some good motivation, I've been slacking recently.<br />And careful with the tanning! Hope you're avoiding tanning beds and using a good sunblock -- there are worse things than being a little pale. Safe travels and have a wonderful trip!!goal is THINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681532860516367256noreply@blogger.com
