Ok, so let’s start with my Day 1 of Intermittent Fasting.
As I mentioned on the main post, two weeks intermittent fasting results I am going to detail day by day waht is being my experince of Intermittent fasting.
First things first, my first KPI (Key Performance Indicator) here is my weight. My height is 173 centimeters and my weight it is 79,4kg. It is clear I have a little overweight.
So my goal is to lose some kilograms, my expectations is to reduce at least three kilograms before my running on 14th of April.
For day 1, the goal is 16 hours of fasting that I did without any issue. I woke up at 5:00 and ran 4 kilometers. I was happy as my heartbeat was below 163bpm all the time. In fact, I did two kilometers in less than six minutes.
For breaking the fasting I ate a quinoa salad with tuna and tomato cheery,

In the afternoon I played golf during two hours.
