It's been a little over a month and I've eliminated 95% sugar from my diet, along with white carbs, pasta, rice, and potatoes. I also started walking every day (weather permitting) and lifting dumbbells. I drink more water and black coffee with no more flavored creamer. My eating now consists of veggies and fruits, protein, very limited cheese, wheat bread on occasion, avocado, seeds, almonds, and homemade protein shakes once in awhile.
The fasting portion has been relatively easy, especially since a good portion of the fast you are sleeping. Was doing a 16-hour fast with an 8-hour eating window but I just switched it up to 17-hour fast and 7-hour eating window. I usually eat breakfast/lunch around 11am then eat dinner between 5pm and 6pm and start my fast, which has eliminated my evening snacking. If I want a snack during the day, I eat celery with hummus - in fact, made from scratch hummus with less salt and it turned out incredible!
And the great news is so far I've lost 23 lbs! Also feeling much better without all that sugar in my system! I don't feel hungry and don't have the cravings for crap food.
I plan to continue with this program until I meet my goal. And of course I'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe which will make this all worth it!!
