I didn’t know anything about intermittent fasting until I read the free ebook about Fast-5. It is basically fasting 19 hours a day and eating for 5 hours a day. They suggest eating from 5 PM – 10 PM. It goes on to describe why this is beneficial. That is because there is a big difference between Somatic Hunger and Limbic Hunger.
I started Intermittent Fasting on September 1st. I was tired of being so restricted on what I could eat and couldn’t eat. Now I am fasting for 20 hours a day and then during my 4 hour eating window I can eat what ever I want. I am still trying to focus on fruits, beans and greens so I can have plenty of fiber. However, I don’t hold myself back from having treats when I want them.
