What I’ve learned so far: 1. In relation to working out… specifically running and weightlifting, eating a larger portion of food the night before an early morning workout definitely provides more energy. In relation to fasting, I can fast for 18 hours but if I’m going to work out in the morning, and actually perform well, I’m going to have to fuel for it. Friday morning’s run was definitely better. (I fueled Thursday night with a large bowl of Paleonola grain free granola) The result was, I had way more energy. I even did hill repeats and sprint intervals. 2. It doesn’t need to be a portion of food that is SO big that it makes me bloat and leaves me uncomfortable in bed trying to fall asleep. 3. I can still stop eating by 6:00 p.m. and have enough fuel to work out in the morning. 4. The 18:6 fasting is about perfect for me but because this is rotational fasting; I will still change that window to 14:8, next week.
What I ate today: (eating window 12:00-6:00 p.m.)
2 keto “fat head bagels” with a bowl of bok choy beef soup
Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt with goji berries and cacao nibs
