MY INTERMITTENT FASTING EXPERIMENT AND AN UPDATE

After reviewing various fasting time frames, I settled on 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of feeding. I chose this for few reasons: I wanted to at least fit 2 meals a day and have dinner with my wife. I wanted to maximize the potential fat burn by adding 4 more hours to 12 hour

My Intermittent fasting experiment: A feeding adjustment

So, I’ve been fasting for over 8 weeks now and the diet has been working well. At the same time, I have the habit of always tinkering. Like a NASCAR mechanic who always tries to get little more horsepower and more efficiency out of his engine, I kinda of see my body as that glorious

Supplements… do I need them?

My Intermittent fasting experiment: Week 10, Day 4

MY IF EXPERIMENT WEEK 9: AN UPDATE

Okay. It is my 7th day of the evening carb-up IF. I honestly don’t know if changing the carb-up time has made that much of a difference. The only thing that I can be sure of is that Kate gets to cook more yummy, carby dinner for the both of us and that means happy
