Fasting Again

I'm going to give this fasting thing a go again. Last May I tried fasting for whole days at a time. I fasted a total of ten days. All and all it was a good experience. It was tough at first but gradually became easier. The hardest part was night time. I felt like I had to eat during the night or I would never go to sleep.

This time I'm going to give the Warrior Diet diet fasting pattern a try. Ori Hofmekler's diet utilizes fasting for fat loss. In his diet, you under eat during the day and have a large meal at night. So, basically, you don't eat at all during the day and you go to town at night. I've been following this fasting pattern for the past few days and I've been feeling pretty good. It's much easier than fasting for whole days at a time. And I sleep like a baby with a full belly. Going to sleep on an empty stomach is not fun.

I've been consuming way to much junk and processed stuff so I'll have to clean up my act a little bit in that regard. But other than that I've been following the fasting protocol during the day very strictly. The diet allows for a four hour window of feasting. And they are glorious hours. I have to say fasting this way is quite easy and I think I'll eat like this for a long time. I'm at least going to do it for thirty days to see what kind of results I get. I think I'll lose quite a bit of fat. Hopefully I'll keep my muscle mass.

I'm going to try this until May 15th. This shouldn't be too hard.
