The most frustrating thing about this is that I keep on reading how it helped almost everybody who tried it. I honestly cannot say that my weight dropped off or that I feel whole lot better or healthier. It seems to me that things that work for others just don’t for me….anyway enough of crying!
I am sticking to my schedule. Four days I keep 16/8 and three days 14/10. I have reduced sugars to minimum. When I have a major craving I have a Greek yogurt with a little bit of honey and some almonds. I have reduced wheat products – that must help for sure right?
I had some digestive issues which started with the 16/8 schedule. I decided to carry on despite this but was more gentle when breaking my fast. Started with bit of fruit or bowl of clear soup before eating my main meal. Also I loaded up on yogurt with Bifidus and pickled vegetables. Tried some probiotics as well. I have heard that if you don’t eat, your body focuses on the repairing processes – so maybe this is what was happening. I feel better now. The digestive issues are lot better although not completely gone.
Now, the most important thing. Did I loose any weight since I started in April? About 2 kgs. That is my book is nothing because I know I can put back on really easily. Do I feel better, healthier? No not really. I think it is the detox that I do makes real difference. So any improvement what so ever? There is one and quite interesting. I used to have bulging, hard stomach that sometimes reminded me of a basketball. It was always there not matter what. I was thinking if I am bloated all the time or if it is just fat. Well, I still have the stomach but it is somehow deflated and is softer. It does not feel that hard. If I am not deluding myself, I would say that it is smaller and less noticeable – especially when I wear clothes. So not much change on the scales but slight change on the appearance. I will keep on going as I have nothing to loose and of course, will keep you posted 🙂
