Fasting is a good practice but I only do it intermittently. My main focus is just to consume quality high nutrient food in general, and keeping my diet diverse. I started off improving my eating habits years ago by first quitting soda, fast food, and high sugar snacks. Later I cut out all candy and the use of a microwave. Earlier this year I became a pescatarian, making a commitment not only to eat fish and no other meat (only fresh caught or Atlantic caught, no Fukushima fishies), but also to eat much more vegetables and fruits. Since then I drink a smoothie as my breakfast meal a few times a week, usually only eating once more later in the day. I also like evening meals as food tastes better to me during later hours, that is when I find myself most hungry, and it also helps me sleep as well.
The main goal of all this is to feel better and have more energy on a consistent basis, and to hopefully live longer. Thank you for you comprehensive post on why you choose your eating habits. Seems like we are both on the right track.
That's great! Yes I too have cleaned up my diet tremendously in the past 5 years. I now am on a plant based while food vegan diet. No processed food, no sugar, no gluten and holy beegeezes my body feels great! But it feels even greater when I am doing intermittent fasting so I thought I would share the wonderfulness that is fasting! Lots of love to you! 😘
Ditto homegirl, do you drink juice?
I do drink juice! Fresh juice is the best! My favorite being carrot, beer root, celery, ginger! Yum yum yum!
Nice, what about fruit juice specifically?
I prefer to eat my fruit however I absolutely LOVE fresh passionfruit juice! Especially with some chia in it! Eeeeek! Yummiest treat ever!
I like drinking dragonfruit as well, exotic things excite my taste buds, mixing chai with almost any beverage is preferred, love it!
