Thanks. I have talked to her about intermittent fasting. I fast regularly and I like the way it makes me feel. I don't know that she would be on board with full fasting, but I thought easing her in with intermittent might be a good way to start. I'm due to see her soon. Maybe I'll broach the subject again. I wouldn't normally stick my nose in, but I know she is miserable and feels she has failed repeatedly. I suspect she has given up. But seeing herself successfully fast even just one day might give her a sense of accomplishment, like you are suggesting. Thanks. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
I've always struggled with my weight, as many in my family have. I like to use IF because I am not a calorie counter. Something I heard a long time ago, and it works really well for me when I stick to it, is not eating after 4pm. I always lose weight fastest when my fasting period is thru the dinner hour.
Interesting. I'll mention that to her if I can persuade her to try IF. thanks.
Maybe start with smaller things, like give up soda for a week or even a day. Go for a 10 minute walk. Smaller victories can snowball into larger ones.
I have started IF recently. Dr. Berg has a lot of good videos on it. The most amazing thing I have found so far is that I'm not hungry when I wake up, or really much at all. I'm "easing into" the whole thing starting with an 8 hour eating window (10-6). I may cut it down to 6 eventually (maybe not), but likely never more than that. I want it to be sustainable.
Well good luck with that. I have been fasting 2 days a week and actually found it easier than I would have thought. As an example, I might finish supper on Sunday night, then not eat again until mid morning on Tuesday. Fasting is supposed to have a host of positive benefits, including improving brain cognition. I don't know how long I'll keep it up. But so far I have no desire to stop. It might just be a whole new lifestyle. I hope you enjoy the IF as much as I have enjoyed what I'm doing. Also, a type of intermittent fast, I suppose. Lol.
