Well, 25 days came to an end quickly enough. I just wanted to recap what lessons I learned about rotational fasting.
#1 It was harder to do than I thought it would be.
#2 Fasting long on hard cardio days or the day before a hard cardio day was a disaster. I had zero energy, and my performance was terrible. I ran at about 1 minute slower per mile than I normally do.
#3 Fasting long (in addition to taking a high-quality gut supplement) cleared up my gut issues and I’ve felt so much better this month.
#4 The best kind of fasting for me is 12-14 hour fasting. I felt the best when I didn’t eat too late at night and kept my nighttime dinner portions small.
#5 I would have liked to loose more weight than I did, but I’m happy with feeling better.
Coming up: I’m going to do a chapter-by-chapter review of the book, “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried. Included in the review, I’m planning on applying the principles she outlines and let you know how they work for me. I hope you enjoy the month of March as I try to incorporate this well-known book for women.
