Intermittent fasting - The Beginning

Intro

So, just a quick introduction to myself and my body. I am 26 and don't see myself as typically 'Overweight'. I do however know I have gained some unwanted weight over the years and would love to burn a few of them off.

I have tried countless amounts of 'diets' and weight loss programs and some were effective but eventually led me back to gaining weight again.

Overall I am relatively happy with where I am now but I heard about this thing called 'Intermittent Fasting' and thought...

Hey lets give it a go!

So, here I am. I am going to be testing myself to see if I can 'Intermittently Fast' for a few weeks and see the results.

I will be trying the 16:8 approach. This entitles fasting for 16 hours a day. Essentially I will be skipping breakfast and only eating between the hours of 12 pm - 8 pm

Starting Stats

So here are my statistics starting out. These figures were taken on Tuesday 16th May. As you can see my BMI is 29.8 which is way too high!

It will be interesting to see the same tests done after 1 week and see if anything has changed.

I have taken starting pictures and will be taking pictures each week of my body. I won't be posting them on here yet but I may do if I see results and feel comfortable enough to do so!

I hope you will follow me on the journey and check in every week for an update. As I started the fasting on Tuesday, I will be posting the first weeks update Tuesday/Wednesday next week. :)

Please leave some comments or questions if you have any.

I will leave you a picture illustrating some benefits to Intermittent Fasting.
