One month yields 12 lbs . It is said autophagy gets triggered after 17-18 hrs in some bodies i dont have a clue on this but one thing is certain - it ll reduce all ur cholesterol, weight ll drop noticeably you ll feel energized and hunger wont be a problem in a month! I m right now at 17-18 hrs my autophagy maybe further away but thats not my aim. Fasting is not a Fad , it is exactly how our ancestors lived millions of years ago and our body is programmed for that - most days they wont have food and maybe sneak a berry, plant or two here and there. A feast happened if they hunted a small to medium animal and that was a rarity. Hence being non veg should be a rarity and fasting should be the norm. What is my fasting window ? - its 6PM to 12PM next day a good 18 hrs approx. This means most days i make do with a heavy nutritious , balanced lunch high on protein, vits, fats and carbs in that order. A light evening dinner is best to round of the day. You would be surprised how much you will value every ounce of food once you start fasting - no phones, TV distraction. Food becomes full focus when consuming this way.
Fruits are a tad overrated. They want you to eat hence mostly sugar , agreed has some vitamins, Fiber (great for gut microbiome) in it but not comparable to what most veggies give you. Water is an elixir this should be the go to drink for fasting and by practice it can make even heart burns, acidity go away. The first month is the toughest but with persistence its possible. Try it out you will feel re energized! Next my experiment continues to see if OMAD a week is possible and also if the lifestyle changes incorporated over 3-6 months has any effect on the A1c, Reddit / Quora has many miracle stories - but there is only one way to know :)
