Whatcha eating today VSGers...Wednesday!!!

I don't understand how you have the control to do a fast of jus****er. I think it's great. I would love to do so..just for a day but all day long I would be thinking of food. How do you get past that??? 

Boredom is the tough part. Keep yourself occupied. I do think about food in fact I go the other extreme. I watch cooking recipes on youtube all day.

The easiest way to do an intermittent fast is to go from noon to noon. So you stop eating at noon on one day and don't eat again until noon the next. That way you get food in the morning on the first day and on the second day you are getting it in the afternoon. You can actually do any time split like that.

It makes a big difference. There is a lot of info on intermittent fasting. I am doing one day a week right now, but I want to switch to two doing the noon to noon approach.

Ha, I do the same. I watch cooking shows, I search pinterest and torture myself.  Noon to noon. I might be able to do. I sit at a desk all day long. I would want to binge as soon as I was alone and food was in front of me. Maybe next week I will give it a try. Thank you.

You know Keith I am also finding that when you are really READY for something you can do it.  I have been "thinking of doing the liquids day" for like a year, but couldn't NEVER really do it.  Today I am in the zone and looking forward to it.

That is a huge part of it. You have to get your head in the game. I would say it is a critical success factor.

I've been a little bit carb heavy this week and so far I'm down 2lbs and feeling way more energized than last week.  Maybe the 40-50 range of carbs is better for me, but we'll see next week!  I've also exercised every day this week so far!
