Day 5 Intermittent Fasting

As I mentioned on the main post, two weeks intermittent fasting results I am going to detail day by day what is being my experince of Intermittent fasting.

After the 24 hours fasting I felt very well so I decided to do a workout in a 6 kilometers circuit close to my home.

The best news from the day it was when I saw 77,9 kh in the mettler what it means 1.5 kg less than four days before.

So far, here my average data from the last five days:

  • 18 hours fo fasting on average
  • Around 2685 calories consumed per day

Basically, this last data is key to loss weight as I am creating here a caloric deficit what basically it means I am consuming more calories that the ones I am eating.

What can I drink while fasting?

While fasting, it’s essential to stay hydrated to support bodily functions and maintain energy levels. Opt for zero-calorie beverages such as water, herbal tea, black coffee, and sparkling water. These options help keep you feeling satiated without breaking your fast. Additionally, consuming electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or bone broth during longer fasts can replenish essential minerals and prevent dehydration. Avoid sugary beverages, fruit juices, and anything containing calories, as they can disrupt the fasting state and spike insulin levels. Experiment with different flavors and temperatures to find beverages that satisfy your palate while adhering to your fasting goals. Remember to listen to your body’s cues and prioritize hydration throughout your fasting period.

How often should you fast for 24 hours?

The frequency of 24-hour fasting depends on individual health goals, lifestyle, and tolerance. Some people may choose to incorporate a 24-hour fast once or twice a week, while others may prefer a less frequent approach. It’s essential to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any fasting regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are new to fasting. Gradually introduce 24-hour fasts into your routine and pay attention to how your body responds. Monitor energy levels, hunger cues, and overall well-being to determine the optimal frequency for you. Remember that consistency and balance are key, and it’s essential to pair fasting with a nutritious diet and regular physical activity for optimal health benefits.
