I Do Intermittent Fasting

I have been having health issues for ages now. I was on a health related forum and someone suggest intermittent fasting and a book called "The Obesity Code" By Dr. Jason Fung

Now I'm not a professional of any kind this is just my own personal journey towards better health.

So my weight has gotten so out of control. I've had hormonal weight gains, bad eating advice, stress eating (husband's cheating, among other things).

So right now I've started fasting 16:8 every other day. What that means, is fasting for 16 hours and eating for 8. If I finish my dinner at 9, that means the majority of my fasting is done while I'm sleeping. And I don't eat until 1 in the afternoon. I can drink black tea or water, or whatever.

In addition, I'm doing walking aerobics, belly dancing and yoga. So far so good, I'm getting results. Finally. I've had test after test after test. Doctors shaming me, scolding me. Not believing that I don't eat junk food all the time. GRRRRR

So I'm hoping to put a dent in my health/weight problems.

Regular exercise and a healthy balanced diet will give you your natural shape and weight.
Diets may alter your shape and weight but it will be an unnatural alternative.
