I thought I was "fasting". I have heard many people on MFP (My Fitness Pal) talk about being "fasters" and wondered about it... Then I stopped wondering and started fasting.... or so I thought.
A few years ago I read a popular book at the time Skinny Bitch. I thought it was a great book... I should read it again...but that's not the point. I remember something from the book about "waiting as long as possible before you eat in the morning". I took this to be fasting. So I started doing this....
Instead of eating in the a.m. before I went to do my workout...I only had coffee, caffeine is really all I need to get me moving and power me through my workout...ok... water.... I also need water. But I didn't need the calories as I wasn't doing a super grueling workout and lets face it... I have fat to burn... So.... I waited to eat until I returned from my workout.... as I am not employed... some days my morning workout takes me to 11:00 a.m. So I have successfully not eaten until lunch... saving calories for the rest of the day... and possible something delicious.
BUT... this was not fasting.... according to Life by Daily Burn, fasting is a serious science.. and can be broken down by type... YES, there are 5 types of fasts (who knew). Well this is a serious method I am not ready to commit to. At least not yet.... but at least now, I (and you) are armed with the information.
