island vacation of sorts
Having a lovely time on my food vacation - other wise known as an intermittent fast.
Fasting is easier in the summer when it's sometimes too hot to eat. A little water fast works out just right.
I am not a purist. I can and do break the fast anytime my body or circumstances tell me to stop fasting and start eating again.
Never fast, of course, when you feel dizzy or light-headed, or sick or if you have anything going on with your body health-wise. I'm not talking about long, heroic fasting here. It's more like a voluntary choice to miss a meal, sometimes two, just every now and then. Once or twice a week. That's what interment fasting is. It's as extreme or as simple as you choose to make it.
Hahaha, visit the lovely Islands of Langerhans! You crack me up. I'm on a food vacation too, but it's midwinter here in NZ. Must have some more water....
ReplyDeleteI'd fast, but I'm afraid I'd get hungry.
ReplyDeleteI like getting hungry. It makes eating again so much more enjoyable. Eating without being hungry is like having sex when you're not h**ny. Are people afraid of getting h**rny? Not usually...
ReplyDeleteDoes it work with lattes? :)
ReplyDeleteI've love to go walking down that path right about now. Ahhhhhhhhh.
I'm with Jack!!
ReplyDeleteI think we both agree that fasting is a good thing. I used to and sometimes am afraid of being hungry. It's not the worst thing that can happen is it? When I do my fasts I am using a product that has the nutrients my body needs and I know it is not in starvation mode. I actually read somewhere that hunger pains are a sign your body is eating off the fat. Probably not true but a nice thought.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your comments and support.
fasting is one of my favorite tools in my tool pouch. lots more enjoyable now that ive cut loose of all the pre-prescribed marketed programs and just listened to my own instincts. however, if i hadnt had pilon,hofmelker ect to learn from, id never have even learned about all this. coolness!
ReplyDeleteI regularly engage in "very fast fasting". I do this several times a day.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish there was such a thing as a "life fast".
So how long of a fast Anne?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just miss a meal. Sometimes, I just have broth. Once or twice a month I try to "officially" fast, just for 24 hours - more if my body says it's ok. I still drink water, though.
ReplyDeleteSo, as a first timer here I wanted to say that your site is completely superb! We’re interested in starting a volunteer community initiative in this niche. The tips on your blog were extremely helpful to us, as it gave us something to work on. Thanks.
