Part 5/9:
The question of how to track my food intake arose. While many resort to apps or food diaries, I chose to avoid calorie counting due to past experiences of complacency. Instead, I opted for intermittent fasting, a method that allows me to narrow my eating window, thereby reducing overall caloric intake.
I implemented a fasting schedule of 20 hours fasting and a 4-hour eating window. This method not only helped with consuming fewer calories but also activated my body’s fat-burning capabilities.
Adapting to the New Routine
My journey began on January 1st. The initial days of the fasting regimen were challenging, but I quickly adapted by changing my environment, for instance, bartering my eating window to coincide with work hours to avoid caloric temptations at home.
