Started IF (intermittent fasting)

[Shogun2698]

Thanks for the suggestions 3Js. I think liquid meals (of whole foods) would be a good way to get the needed calories.

Just a quick update, today was a training day and I felt no loss in energy and maybe even had some more, though this could be a placebo affect. Only time will tell.

I just finished putting down 1200 calories. Almost half of it came in the form of a shake: 2 scoops whey powder, 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup plain Cheerios, 1 medium banana. The rest of the calories were in the form of ground beef and white rice. It was still a bit tough towards the end to choke down the rest of the food, but definitely much easier today than previous days.

I think I'm gonna enter a food coma now

For those of us with big appetites, that is a major benefit of IF.

I got to FEEL full at some point durring the day. The endorphins/dopamine, AND not being hungry when I sleep.

The human stomach can only hold so much, and it does not care if you fasted the last 19 hours, to it, full is full.

Isn't it cool how you actually get to feel like you are having a cheat meal, when in fact you are still in an overall kcal deficit?
