Week 11 - Intermittent Fasting Journal
It's Week 11/Episode 11 of The Intermittent Fasting Journal! New Year's Week---and Donna's hubby is on board too! Yay them! In this episode, Donna gives her week eleven findings and results, including losing weight slowly and steadily during holidays and enjoying a traditional New Year's Day dinner. She reviews the coping mechanisms of self talk, five second rule, having an earlier eating window that ends by seven each day (and how this benefits her), using the app, and more. Donna goes into detail about her lifestyle with her husband, Ray Baby, who has lost ten pounds in three weeks on his IF plan! She describes husbands and wives planning and fasting together and how much she and Ray enjoy eating out together now as empty nesting fasters. She was encouraged by going into a new year with no deadlines and no drastic weight loss plans in place and explains how to make Daily IF a lifestyle rather than a frantic new year weight loss goal. No time limits! Donna then teaches from AC: The Power of Appetite Correction by Bert Herring with the six kinds of hunger: (1) Appestat--real hunger; (2) Somatic hunger--sensation in the belly; (3) Limbic hunger--drive to continue eating once you're full; (4) Clock hunger--biological clock--hunger striking 23-24 hours from when you ate last; (5) Appetite-driven hunger--when you visualize yourself eating something; (6) Mouth hunger--urge to chew on something when you're not really hungry. She ends the main section with how she has finally achieved control over areas of her life that had eluded her even when she had 32 years of homeschooling and writing success--food control. Huge win! We can manage every area of our lives when we are successful with Daily Intermittent Fasting!
